Razer Naga - How to get it to work with macros?

[Milton3450]

Greetings! I was fiddling with the macro:

/run local x = IsShiftKeyDown(); if x == nil then CastSpellByName("Cone of Cold(Rank 2)") else CastSpellByName("Cone of Cold(Rank 1)"); end;

couldn't get it to work with my Razer Naga sidekeys (1-12). The buttons function as if I pressed the Num Pad. It doesn't work with key 3 which is Num Pad key 3. With shift pressed it's Page Down. I guess there's a problem with Vanilla and this.

When I bind an ability seperate on Page Down, it triggers fine but not with the macro. I guess it has something to do with shift down not becoming a 'shift + Num Pad 3' key but a "new" Page Down.

Anyone got a suggestion how to make it work?

You will need to use Razer Synapse for the Naga to bind to keybindings properly. It can be found on their website in Products > Software.

I usually keybind really weird keys that I would never use on my keyboard, in order to allow for more keybindings in total. I use keys such as "-", "," or "."

The best thing about using these keys also solves your main problem. Using a shift modifier won't mess with you, and you don't actually even need to apply it to the macro, as you can just have the second spell bound to say SHIFT - and put it on a hidden actionbar, and it will work while just pressing SHIFT and the button you assigned "-" to on the Naga.

Hope that wasn't too confusing.

Also @mod, maybe move to a different forum?

Thx for the great reply. I'm using standard UI. Is it possible to have invisible bars with Blizzard UI?

[Zinckminator]

I don't think there are any hidden action bars in the default UI, but since the action bar doesn't need to be hidden, I suggest you just use the slots you have left on the action bars you already have out - using the default UI, there should be plenty work with on the right and bottom actionbars that you toggle in-game.

Yea I figured that.
