Gaming Keyboard

[Nonno]

I was just wondering if anyone is using a gaming keyboard. I have the Saitek/with the command pad and can't get it to work. Anytime I try to assign a button on the command pad it shows up as a joystick button. It could be because this is the older silver and black one and I'm running Vista 64. I checked their forums but they were no help. Thanks in advance.

Did you try and locate drivers for yours and 64 bit yet?


I just use regular ol backlit Saitek Eclipse myself....

I use an original model Logitech G15 at the moment, very nice board.

I spotted this on there sight the other day though http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/4956&cl=us,en
Drool, I'm very tempted to upgrade, anyone want to make me an offer on my G15 :D

I'll be honest, I didn't know that you needed drivers to use it. The command pad shows up in the profiler and when you push the buttons they light up on the screen. I also can assign different key combos to each number in either A mode or B mode. But when I try to assign them in the contoller section in FSX, they show up as joystick buttons.
