Good post. I may have to look into getting one of those.

I believe Lax has a program you can D/L that will capture those keys and he could implement them into ISBoxer

If you live in a region where they use the azerty keyboard layout (instead of e.g. qwerty), I recommend you to buy another keyboard. I bought one of these @alternate . After my first raid I noticed that sometimes one of my main dps keys would no respond when I would prequeue a spell. At first I thought it was me having to get used to a mechanical keyboard. But after a while it became clear it was the keyboard. Google taught me multiple people had the same issue with the keyboard, but the problem seemed to be more prevalent with the azerty one. The vendor was very correct with replacing mine, but refused to give me another K90, instead I could pick any other brand I wanted. The reason being that pretty much every K90 they had sold was returned sooner or later because of this issue (they sell both the azerty and qwerty ones), with the azerty one topping the meter. As this store has a pretty outstanding quality/service reputation to keep up, they took the K90 azerty out of their store.

Ever since, I pay attention to forums and K90 issues, and it's amazing how many similar topics I see popup.

TLR: there is a good bunch of K90's out there were some keys are not responding very accurately to input (as in sometimes just dont register your press). And the issue is more prevalent with azerty K90's.

I have the K90 and I like it, I find that once in a while I get heavy fingers and I start moving when I don't mean to, I usually just lift my hand and it stops. I also have a full mechanical Razor Blackwidow on my other PC. I'm going to switch them around and give the Razor a try. I see that there is now a full mechanical K70 available.

They are both very nice keyboards but the Blackwidow has superior key lighting. I absolutely HATE the Razor software and I can't recommend them to anyone for any reason. They want you to logon to their server at startup to look for updates. The keyboard works without the updater but you can't download a new microcode into the keyboard without it. the updater software allows you to program a few keys but I don't use keyboard macros anyway. you have to give your whole life history when you create an account on their server so I really hated doing that.

Yeah my bad experience with the razer software for my mouse took them off the table for consideration when I started shopping for a keyboard.
