    are you saying that we need an external program to utilize the gaming keys?

    If you are just wanting to use the gaming keys as macros inside a game, you should be able to load up the game-key application that installs with the driver and program in the macro command for each one.

    yes i just want these keys to do something in the game as in to simply be 2 seperate keys that i can assign a command. i don't need these to do a complex macro or anything, i guess. the game-key appears to be loaded already. there is an icon at the lower taskbar called hotkey setup. i assume that is it. when i right click on this icon the only thing i can really get out of it is a setup option but doing this only wants me to load a program and i don't know what i need to load.

    Aha. If you want the keys to be assignable in-game, you would need something like Rambo mentioned. As-is, the keys simply exist as programmable macro keys (although you could always set them to work as two keys you can't normally reach, such as the [ and ] keys, and then bind those keys in-game to something useful).

    You should be able to just open up the gamekey application, and "program" the macro for each button to a single keystroke.

    where is this gamekey application, though? all i notice is an application that is located at right-side taskbar and labeled as HOTKEY SETUP when i roll the cursor over it. double clickin this does not do anything. right clicking brings up a small menu with setup / OSD / exit options. under setup it only gives me one option labeled, "Application 1", and clicking this wants to open a file, but open what file? under OSD option there is font / location / enable and these appear to be the screen indicator for volume control settings only.
