Do keys like tab, control etc. count as a single keystroke each or would they each use more than 1 of the allotted 111 keystrokes per macro?

Tab would count as a single keystroke. If you want to type "Bob" You have to type SHIFT B o b , so that would take 4 keystrokes.

Most keys would be a single keystroke. Modifier keys, however, count as two keystrokes. Control, Shift, F8, for example is recorded as Control-down, Shift-down, F8, Shift-up, Control-up. You can download the manual the Genovation web site. The keyboard and software work really well.

Keys like tab,ctrl,shift use 1 key stroke to set them on and one keystroke to release them. If you wanted to display" HELLO you" the key strokes would be- shift(on),h,e,l,l,o,shift(off),y,o,u, The unit is easy to set up and program (you can have several different programs just download the one you want to the unit). The key caps are clear and removable and can have legends underneath (software included for printing). The unit has worked faultlessly, it is robust and well made.

Yes, you can map it anyway you like and it the same as hitting that key on the keyboard. You can even map combinations such as atl+F or ctrl+V into one keystroke. Very handy.

The previous version also had 3 available profiles providing for a total of 54 different macros (18 keys x 3). That being said, for all but a CAD technician or accountant, I can't imagine needing that many. I just wish they'd release this puppy.

The shortcut keys should be the same as a PC except the apple key which is like the windows icon key on a pc. Also this keyboard has an eject key for mac where a normal board does not. That being said... ctr + C key is the shortcut for copy ctr + V is paste. Hold the ctr key + left click items you want to select for multiple things or to save time with many items ctr + A is select all. Then hold ctr + items to deselect. When all the items are blued right click on them and a menu will pop out with choices like copy and paste etc etc. Google key board short cuts and there are many many more too many for me to list here.

You can have up to six keys pressed down at one time. If you have a PS/2 port on your motherboard you can use the USB to PS/2 adapter to get N-Key rollover, which means you can have an unlimited amount of keys pressed simultaneously, and they'll all be registered. Have a nice day!

Delete in mac keyboards is identical to backspace key. But there's no delete key (in normal pc keyboards).

I see there are 12 on the keyboard; but I don't use them, so I suspect they all are usable but can't confirm that.

I don't know what 'specialty keys' you mean exactly - If you want it to run macros for you, you'll have to look elsewhere, but otherwise you should be fine.

I don't know about consecutive keystrokes. I would have to test that. It can handle concurrent keystrokes like Ctrl+X

It can be remapped, but you can't map it to be a continuous hold. It can be mapped to a one-off macro of keystrokes in the driver. Could be used as a toggle for voice activation or microphone mute, but not the traditional PTT.

No, I can't type all the characters with both shift keys pressed down. For example 'T' doesn't work.

Connected via the USB->PS/2 converter the documentation on the keyboard says that there is no limit. I have not actually tested this, as the machine I use it with does not have a PS/2 keyboard port, but with USB I have yet to run into any problems and there have been a few situations where I have five or six keys pressed at a time.

No, it only accepts on key press at a time at a time. There are some games or software where it's quite handy (at replacing those awkward key reaches for crouching, ducking, throwing a grenade, or swapping weapons) there are other games (WASD) where it's not as useful for steerage. It can do dual-key commands, but sadly it does not do macros. It's a niche product and takes a little bit of a learning curve to train yourself to use it. It's a very sturdy product that uses Cherry keys and will likely outlive me, but I do not use it in all situations.

I am not familiar with this situation, but I can tell you that both keyboards are active at the same time. Any given key, from either keyboard, results in an identical code going to the processor regardless of which keyboard it comes from. Apparently the ASCII codes are identical for both keyboards, so language differences would be specific to the particular windows code that handles key assignment, rather than being differentiated by the specific keyboard.

YES! you can record all kinds of macros, as well as special function operations like copy paste, back, forward, and many others with the Corsair software. You can even control the timing of macros as well as make the action repeat (cheaty for FPS)

This is a 101-keys keyboard, so you're short of the Cmd key. You can map the Ctrl key to act as Cmd and choose not to have Ctrl key instead. You then can set some important shortcuts with Ctrl (e.g. Spotlight) to use Cmd instead.

I would imagine so.. it emulates your keyboard. You assign the keys to how you want it mapped. & it works great for macros.Many many profiles to create & use.I haven't used my keyboard for any game since I got it!!
