i currently just got this keyboard. its really neat and quite an upgrade from my old saitek eclipse ii keyboard. the x6 comes with "macro buttons".
was just wondering if there is way i can use them for binding in wow?
like use them for general use in wow. thanks.

You'll probably need to use the bundled macro software to assign each key a combination of keystrokes.

well their made for macros, i dont wanna use them as macros, i wanna use them keystrokes.

Yes you can do keystrokes with it. When you install the software log into wow. If you hit esc and then open the key bind menu you should have a section for the keyboard.

It depends on whether WoW recognises the extra keys as unique keys or not. I know a lot of gaming keyboards and devices simply let you rebind whatever key you want to any of the new 'macro keys'.

wow did not recognize the new buttons, is there an alternative to make them work in wow?
