    Why wouldn't you be able to use it? It's a keyboard.

    You can use the keyboard fine but there is no support for the LCD panel.

    it has a screen and other things on it that can help with the game..the keyboard its self works fine.. if you don't know what a g15 keyboard is maybe you should't speak or at least look it up and spare yourself the embarrassment of looking dumb ;) ..

    Be very careful with that keyboard, do not make macros that implement delays or repeats with the keyboard software, as this is considered botting.

    If you stick to using the software to remapping keys only, you'll be safe.

    I'm aware of what a G-15 is, I have one. User didn't really ask any pertinent questions, though.

    I thought it was obvious you were taking the *** on the fact OP never expressed himself correctly.

    I use mine as I love the ablity to have my keyboard lit up in a dark room. I also use the lcd panel to keep an eye on my cpu usage.

    Can we get an official response to this? Can I make and use a crafting macro if I am sitting at the computer watching it?

    Otherwise I have to press the R key 100 times and I will get carpal tunnel syndrome.

    You want to play a videogame, and you are concerned about carpal tunnel?

    What are you going to do in other areas of the game, such as PVP?

    When I craft I just setup a toggle macro to keep pressing R and go afk for a few minutes. They can bite me if they want me to tediously keep pressing R to craft every single time. Press G7, go afk for 10 minutes, come back and I have a ton of stuff made.

    That's botting. I would be very careful with that if I were you.

    The game is new so I haven't really seen this come up much yet, but I saw it in WOW before. Blizzard has pretty much the same terms of service that ZOS does, and they consider it botting, and they can and will ban accounts for it. I knew a couple people that got banned from WOW for exactly what you describe.

    We have 1 g15 and one g11 (no screen but otherwise the same) and they both work perfectly in terms of remapping keys and such, as well as detecting the game.

    Haven't tried macros--normally, I wouldn't even consider them, as I think using Macros is the definition of lame, but seriously--having to hit R a bunch of times is soooo silly -- They should just have a craft all choice to keep going on a specific item until your mats are gone. I'm thus considering doing the "R repeating" thing if I get more into crafting lots of stuff. I don't see it as botting in this case---it's more a workaround to a design flaw they just haven't gotten around to fixing!

    Exactly! If I could set it to make 120 consumables and press R and it'd make them all, even if slow as heck 1 at a time, I'd never have to use the macro from my G15. I'm a Provisioner and I make food for myself and guildmates, and I'm not gonna sit there hitting R over 100 times to make the food. Until they make it like every other game, I'm sticking with my macro for pressing R when I go make consumables for me and my guildmates.
