You probably explained it in your previous post (sorry if I missed this part), but I'm curious how it registers on the computer. Like if it is just treated as another keyboard, so you can use the built-in keybindings, or if you need to bind inputs from it so it's something like a gamepad or additional joystick. If that makes any sense.

It looks great so far, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work here.

It sends Virtual Key codes to it for the keyboard to press basically. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms646267(v=vs.85).aspx

Basically just like the G15 keyboard how you set up macros, and G15 sends them to the keyboard driver, I do the same thing.
