    Ok, one issue...I'm trying to make some macros for the two G1 and G2 buttons, which shouls be helpful for games like warcraft and the like. However is there any way to add more keystrokes than 5 for a macro? I was a button to do Shift 9, then 1,2,3,4,5,6, then shift 1. I cant seem to record all that. If there isnt a way to do it, can you run another piece of software to control the buttons? Thanks.

    If you happen to find something that works good with those buttons, let us know, as well as what does not work too.

    Yea, thats unfortunate....it seems that the functionality is very limited with these. Shouldnt be hard for someone out there with some programming skill to learn how to at least legnthen the amount of saved data for the buttons. Adding the possibility of delay between them would be excellent too!

    I could really use these in MMOs...

    I had read that some one modded the registry to take in more key records.
