OK, I'm running out of keys to put all the various macros with my five boxxing. So I'm looking into Xkeys or some other solution. What I'd like to hear from other boxers is "how" they utilize the various other boxxing toys.

I'm running a pretty simple setup now. I have my standard keyboard with function row across the top. I have a five button mouse of which I use one of the buttons as a ALT modifier. So that pretty much ties up both my hands. I can do some shift combos with my left hand on the keyboard, but not many. I'm considering the Xkeys footpad where I could assign an additional Shift, Right Control and Left Control setup for more modifiers, but that gets into a lot of memory work as to what all is mapped where.

I can see how creating little icons for the buttons on the Xkeys devices will be helpful, but how do you guys end up using those things? Do you use the Professional to replace your keyboard or do you put it next to your keyboard and use as needed? Do you put it on the right side or the left?

Would appreciate any input from users that might help me decide how to move ahead.

Thanks,

Johnny
