    Hey guys,

    Does anyone know if key bindings will eventually support different types of non-standard keys for PA? I have a Corsair K95 keyboard (http://goo.gl/k87q7) and have a whole bunch of addtional keys I'd like to use for hot keys.

    I'm sure there are others out there with different keyboards, so add those on here as well.

    Thanks for any info guys!

    The Keyboard Shortcuts section of the game settings is pretty... broken at the moment.

    I'd be inclined to guess yes, but I haven't seen anything on this topic from Uber.

    If the pattern of past games is anything to go by than I can say, yes, there will be options to assign varies binding and such.

    Actually, I have a question about this.
    I have a Logitech G15 (gen. 1) keyboard.
    It has 18 macro keys.
    I also have a Logitech G500 mouse.
    Both have very good customizable buttons and commands.

    But if my understanding is correct, then Wndows only supports the extra mouse buttons out-of-box. This includes mouse 3, 4, 5, 6, left scroll button, right scroll...
    But does not have have any direct absolute cursor positioning info (Windows 7 and earlier).

    So this means it is up to your hardware drivers for everything else?

    Is there are no extra keyboard keys in the OS by default, then our 18 keyboard macro keys will be just duplications of other keys?
