My XKeys 128 broke

[Ghallo]

Alrighty, I've had my XKeys for a bit less than a year. My usage was minimal, as I hardly multibox much anymore. I had the USB Xkeys and while the power light still comes on ... that's all that happens.

Installed/attempted on multiple machines ... no joy, so it is not a driver issue. The system detects the board, says the board is connected ... but nothing happens when keys are pressed (even in the Macro Works app, it ignores keypresses).


So - anyone out there using an alternative? I loved the "grid" layout and the removable keycaps. What other devices out there offer similar capabilities?

Actually - that looks really interesting.

I was wondering - anyone buy this:

?

It has been out for a while now and I was wondering if anyone had broken down and purchased one.

So I found it here: http://www.totalbarcode.com/part-num....html?src=TBPG
for about $ 100 - that makes it 1/3 the price of the XKeys with more keys...

Anyone actually used one of these?

I am seriously considering buying one myself. I keep putting it off because I am trying to get the most mileage I can with my craptastic keyboard and ISboxer. But if I want ease of independant character movement plus extra utility with using my toons I need more keys.

Either that or more fingers/hand. I can make sub keymaps... but still...

Tempting, very tempting... damn, I love and hate this site. I learn so much and spend so much (well, not a lot yet...yet...).

Well I guess I will find out. I ordered a KB from them. I did use a low limit CC though which is my policy for all internet purchases.
