I use this for digital drawing
What a wonderful device! I don’t use it for gaming. I use it for digital drawing/photo editing. It took about a day of time and research; I meticulously mapped controls that I use constantly for digital drawing into two kep maps on this device. For example, the scroll wheel changes the digital brush size. The space bar is my undo button. The various other keys change the brush type; I have an erase, create new layer, undo, redo and take-a-scree-shot v button as well as a volume and skip song control. It’s wonderful! But boy, did it take some time! Well worth it though! Now, I have memorized the key map layout and gotten used to the button placement. I am so fast with this gaming keyboard now. I press buttons for controls without even thinking about it. I now can no longer digitally draw comfortably without it. When I draw on my iPad, I crave the use of this device! I have used it on both Windows and Mac. The only drawback on Mac that I see is that I can’t take advantage of the option that allows automatic input of text. You press one button, and the predetermined text automatically appears. That option does not work on my Mac, but it works on Windows. Gosh! It would have been so useful, as I rename many layers constantly the same in every drawing such as “background” or “base color”, “shadow.” But oh well. Perhaps it will become available in the future. I hope they never stop selling this. When my device finally gives out in ten years (hopefully), I don’t know what I’ll do. Maybe I should buy two or three more now just in case...
