i own a g15 keyboard, and i am very interested in using it to its full capabilities.
i do not have a clue with the technical lexis etc of macros and multiple key assigns and stuff like that.

i would like to be able to cast hunters mark, attack pet and attack by myself in just 1 press of a key.
and also try other combinations such as arcane shot, concussive and sting in 1 press of a key.
any 1 who helps me with this would be such a legend and id be soo thankful so please any one out there with knowledge on how to make this happen please post.

I'd be careful. People have been banned for using that keyboard in the past.. Though WoW officially supports it.

oh? damn sorry for posting then i didnt realise this keyboard wasnt allowed... but then the g15 advertisement is misleading... they say this is the perfect keyboard for WoW... whats the point if we cant even use it for stuff like this what a waste of money :(

First of all Fuuton: Rasenshuriken--->You ;)

Second: you just cant set the keyboard up in a way that it plays FOR you.

Keyboard is allowed etc, but as soon as you are using the "G" keys to which you can assign macros to do several things together it is against the wow-rules.
Making macros in it which also can be made in the wow-macros itself -> it is ok
Making macros with time functions -> Riscing a ban

Exactly. You can bind all the macro functions you like to your keys, but not make it behave like you pressed more buttons. You could do a whole raid with one keypress (auto, steady, auto, auto, steady, arcane, multi, auto, etc.) :-)

It almost always is. Don't trust advertisement. Ever.
Actually, be critical of everything you hear in any kind of media.

The G15 is still a sweet keyboard though. If I wasn't playing on a laptop, I'd consider getting it just for using the display for playing music or watching for IM messages while playing WoW.

Oh and Bleach > Naruto ^^
Still, good stuff that the endless Naruto fillers are finally over.

I'm fairly sure people haven't been banned from using this keyboard unless supplementing the inbuilt functions it supplies with other third party software. First of all the blizzard software scanning for macro's scans for certain dll files that need to be running, the keyboard is different, the macros are in the driver software, and as of right now blizzard has no business in your drivers.

Furthermore, the keyboard, in it's original state, can't be macroed to the extent where you can actually leave your computer. You're still gonna have to sit there and stare at the screen, if not everything bonks up. Not to mention the fact that it's less efficient than normal trickery. It's not all that, nifty tool if you're really lazy though.

I use the keyboard, and I haven't been banned. I use the LCD display and the G buttons. I don't use macros on my G buttons, I only use them for binded spells. I fear using the G key macro capability because I know of a few people who have been banned for it, from the warden picking it up as a 3rd party software, and GM's haven't been any help.

All answered by the tech support panda.
And here's one by Aeus about items like the keyboard in general:

Actually, it seems Aeus might be using the G15 himself, judging from his post here:

something like this?

/targetenemy
/cast hunter's mark
/petattack
/startattack

?

already can do. the rest are better to decide yourself when to use that skill.

oh and i hear hunters already raid with 1 macro button so this keyboard doesnt change that.

Cause the OP still visits his own thread after 4 months.
How would you like if someone digs out your grave after you're dead and tell you that you died 4 months ago?

/castsequence
/cast Hunter's Mark (rank x)
/pet attack or something like that
/attack

You'd have to press the button several times but atleast you'd only have to push one button.

/targetenemy
/cast hunter's mark
/petattack
/startattack

Wont work.. Because it would manually type every letter.. You could try to assign something like <Shift><+></> or something like that to a Gkey, and then make an macro in wow itself, (open up /macro then type that /target /cast blabla) and then place the macro on your gamebars, and then assign the Gkey (wich is now something like <Shift><Alt><X> (just press shift+alt+x not type the whole thingie since that wont work)) to the macro using the key binding interface.

Just do it the way I do it: Get an addon called G15Bar.

Then, make a World of Warcraft profile in the G15 software, and set it up so all the G keys make their own single-key CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+<random> keypress. You can do it with all of them for all three M-settings, if you want (it takes up nearly the whole keyboard combinations of CTRL+SHIFT+ALT, but it works).

Then, you go into Key Bindings and you can bind the actual buttons the G15Bar makes directly to your actual G keys (via those CTRL+SHIFT+ALT combinations they make in WoW, you see).

Bingo. Now your G-keys have their very own button bar, and you can do anything with it you can with a normal button bar, and no fear of contravening the policies whatsoever (as they're all bound to single-key macros, which are just fine). Go ahead and sling some spells or Blizzard macros on them.

I have a bunch I use for raid marking using mostly mouseover, for example, the moon marking most commonly used for "sheep":

---

Q u o t e:
/focus [target=mouseover,exists,harm,nodead] mouseover; [exists,harm,nodead] target;
/stopmacro [target=focus,noexists,noharm,dead]
/script SetRaidTargetIcon("focus",5);

---

And, indeed, my hunter has a simple go-kill-it macro like this:

---

Q u o t e:
/assist [help] target
/target [target=pettarget,exists,harm] pettarget; [target=mouseover,harm,nodead] mouseover
/stopmacro [noexists]
/stopmacro [noharm]
/petattack target
/startattack target
/cast Auto Shot
/script SetRaidTargetIcon("target",8);

---

...though obviously any mob that dies to Auto Shot doesn't deserve to live, and you should at least throw a Serpent Sting in there to show willing, no matter how bored you are at grinding. *grin*

It's probably the best gaming keyboard there is. Definitely the best for WoW. Enjoy.

What you also need to take into account is that the delay functions of the G11/G15 are fine if you have 0 lag. But when you hit a lagspike, the delay of 1500ms to wait for the gcd suddenly isn't enough, and one of your spells won't be casted.
Personally, I've used it for a couple of automated tasks, such as static totem dropping, or an opening shoot sequence while grinding (with delays long enough to compensate for gcd+lag, in an optimized shot rotation, eg. in raid, manually shooting/casting with good timers is superior); if I had a mage, I'd probably use it to automate water/food making because it's just so dull. For most real pve/pvp situations, you need to be moving at some point and ready to adapt, so most automated sequences with delays are useless anyway.
