Can you configure the buttons to specific keys? I want to program buttons for shortcut commands like CTRL+Z, for example.

This can be accomplished with programs such as Xpadder, AutoHotKey, or EventGhost. You can do this with most any controller, though.

With 3rd party software that maps joystick buttons to keyboard controls, yes. Emulator users find such software very useful, but I cannot give specific recommendations. Free (as in beer) options abound. A couple paid but affordable. Some may be open source, but again I can't offer any specific recommendations.

Yes you can reprogram the buttons to certain options listed in the software, but the Storm tactic button (thumb button on the side) you can't change it for another function; however, Storm Tactics button allows you to set combinations built to offer 32 extra button outputs for macros, scripts, rapidfire which is useful for mmo games. There is a profile switcher button underneath the scroll wheel as well.

Yes, in games like Skyrim and oblivion I have the side buttons mapped to different functions. I haven't figured out if you can program the buttons outside of game play. By default they are mapped to go back and forward on web pages.

Hi, Cynthia. Not sure what you mean by programming the buttons for other commands, as I've never done that. The roller bar is used for the same purposes as your mouse, but you use only one finger (I use my index finger) as opposed to using your hand to grip the mouse. I have found that I have to pay attention not to get lazy and let my wrists rest on the pads in front of the keyboard as I'm typing, as that compression does not help my carpal tunnel situation. Except for the unique "mouse", I find the keyboard the same as any other. Hope this helps a little bit. Kathy Z.

Hello, I am a programmer and work in IDEs for both Mac and PC.I find that some shortcut commands are hard to maneuver with the layout because it is so different. Example being CTRL/Apple key and shift. Normally they are right next to each other and easy to press in unison, but the keys are are under thumb and pinkie respectively on this keyboard. I found that I was able to adjust to most of the shortcuts I frequently use. Some are still a hassle, but the ergonomic benefit has outweighed the cons for me.How much you value your wrist and hand ergonomics will determine if this is the right keyboard for you.

Yes, with the Evoluent Mouse Manager software you can reprogram the buttons but I haven't used it in years.

Yes in the logitech software you can change tje action of the buttons. You van use the two buttons in the left side too. I use one to melee attack and the other for throwing grenades

No. They are just the normal multimedia combo keys (Fn+F Keys) not programmable.

I don't understand the question about assigning key functions to the mouse. If you mean keyboard key functions, I don't know as I have no need to do this. If you mean can you assign different functions that the mouse can do, yes. This is done after you have installed the program for the mouse through the device and printers settings. Right click on the mouse icon and then click on the mouse settings. Now you can tell your mouse how to act.

You need a piece of software to translate the A, B, C into other key combos, or macros. I use Controller Mate (http://www.orderedbytes.com/controllermate/) for this purpose, and it works great, which is more then I can say for the foot pedal itself. I assume there are other solutions.I've never attempted to use the software provided (never even installed it) because I already had Controller Mate in use for other automation tasks.

Hello Marcelo Yes you can. I have one as Ctrl and one key as Shift. I use them in combination with the mouse buttons to select and move/copy items in Windows. In this case, the key must have only one code assigned to it (Ctrl OR Shift OR Alt) otherwise you need to supply the key-up code as well.

You can program the buttons based on what game you play in game settings. Although, some games don't have a setup for the buttons.

Hm. I'm starting to wonder if you play DayZ.Anyway, yes. Any of the buttons on the mouse can be remapped to any function (such as a keystroke or macro) that you wish via the included configuration software. I'm kind of surprised I haven't done that yet, myself.

a program called 'AutoHotKey' will allow you to do so by writing a script. Any key or mouse button can be mapped to any other key or mouse button.

I couldn't find any default software to do it, but I programmed them with a program called x-mouse button control and it works fine.

You can program any key to do whatever you want, and I was impressed with how the programming worked. However, I wouldn't bother buying this. Most of the buttons stopped working after 3 months. It's really just like throwing your money away.

not ACTUALLY programmable if i'm not mistaken. the wired version (the one i have) has 5 buttons if you include l/r/m as buttons. the only two "extra" are on the left side for your thumb. most games bind actions to them without a problem however.
