I’ve only seriously tried configuring it for World of Warcraft (and also for Lord of the Rings Online, but I intentionally set that up to be almost identical to WoW). I have the Nostromo n52, which gives you a D-pad, 14 programmable keys, a scrollwheel, and two thumb buttons. Verbose explanation of how I use the device below the cut.įirst, the product itself. I settled on a Nostromo, and after a few weeks of adjusting, and very few changes to my bindings, I have gotten very used to what may be a very unusual control style. I forget who originally planted the idea in my head (there’s a good chance it was Lilboo, formerly of the Daring Blades on Kirin Tor), but I decided that I wanted a dedicated game controller that was more than just the keyboard there’s just too much going on in WoW for an FPS-like control layout, in my opinion. No change.As you may have gathered, I have a… healthy… relationship with everyone’s favorite MMO, World of Warcraft.

I uninstalled the N52 software completely and reinstalled it. So where is the information coming from? The upshot is that the N52 is sending the wrong key strokes to the programmes I am trying to control with it. The Ctrl+Y was in an old N52 profile, deleted from my PC. but shift the focus to FS9 then straight back to the cmd window and the wrong key press is produced again. Somehow, having hit the N52 key while the focus was on the text editor, the programmed key press is restored (?)Ĩ. But back in the text editor, the 'f ' is still OK thereħ. Move focus straight back to the cmd window - the same key on the N52 is now producing not 'f'' now, but Ctrl+Y!Ħ. Put focus onto FS9 window, but that's all I do.ĥ. Again, but with the focus now a text editor window. I tap the key a few times with the focus on a cmd window. The N52 is programmed to type a letter 'f'ġ. I am always using the same key on the N52 keypad.

OK, here's a video of what's happening to make it clearer (small 12MB download - ho do I embed videos here?): The profile editor for the N52 always shows the first, correct set of key sequences programmed, that never changes.Īny insights (assuming you can make head or tail of what I am asking!), would be welcome as this is driving me nuts! So the question is, how is FS9 changing the key sequences that the N52 keypad sends - where is it getting the information from the old N52 profile being stored? The registry? Not the FS9.cfg file as I deleted it and the new one didn't change anything. If I close FS9, I get the first sequence back, but only if I close the cmd window and start a new one. That is, I think, part of an old N52 profile which I deleted when I created the new one some days ago. 7 Ctrl+W Ctrl+N Ctrl+Y - and the last key does nothing. However, as soon as I run FS9.exe, the same keys on the N52 kepad immediately send a different set of key presses, according to the command window: which is what I want to send and is what is programmed & shows in the N52 profile. That is, five keys which send the key strokes: Ctrl+W Ctrl+N Ctrl+Y F K In the cmd window, this appears every time: I tested this by opening a cmd prompt and pressing five N52 keys.FS9 has not been started at this point. Can anyone help me find out why the N52 gives the key responses propgrammed into the profile just fine - but only until I open FS9.
