Xkeys pro help please.

[Kissell13]

I just got my xkeys pro ps/2 model and i plugged it in but it seems to act like my keyboard. Ie: i press the 6 key on the keyboard and another button on the xkeys does the same thing. DO i need to erase its memory or something. Im hoping that this thing does add 58 keys in addition to the keyboard and not just using up half the keyboard keys rearranged on the pad. Any help is much apreciated

What you do (or atleast what I have done) is assigning modified keys to your x-keys. The manual tells you how to do this.

Example:

Row1: Bind it to alt+F1,alt+F2,alt+F3,(not alt + F4 this will make your wow quit),alt+F5 etc
Row2: Alt+1,alt+2,alt+3 etc
Do the same for all rows with alt+ all the characters. When all this is done you are ready to set your keybindings in your game.

Just select the keybind you want to change, and hit the x-key you want to bind to it. Then you will see alt+<whatever key> will be assigned to this hotkey. This will give you a completly new set of keys.

Just remember if you are making macros with modifiers, avoid the alt modifier.(or any other modifier you used for your x-keys)

FYI for others reading this thread. My xkeys stick and pro had some keys preprogrammed when it arrived. So use the full erase feature on your xkeys first to ensure there are no artifacts left to mess with you later.
