Is it possible to assign Shift, Ctrl, Tab or any other keyboard key to number buttons?

You can't exactly assign shift to the number buttons on the side, but you can to any of the buttons on top.

Keys like tab,ctrl,shift use 1 key stroke to set them on and one keystroke to release them.If you wanted to display" HELLO you" the key strokes would be- shift(on),h,e,l,l,o,shift(off),y,o,u,The unit is easy to set up and program (you can have several different programs just download the one you want to the unit). The key caps are clear and removable and can have legends underneath (software included for printing). The unit has worked faultlessly, it is robust and well made.

The included software is pretty handy when it comes to assigning buttons. The programmable buttons can be assigned to keyboard keys (not sure about NUM pad). Macros are also part of the included software and several profiles can be set up for simultaneous use. Hope that helps.

You can adjust the "G" keys to do pretty much anything. Just download the software for the keyboard at Corsairs site. From there you can adjust each "G" key to do anything as in adding text to using macros, pretty much anything.

The Num lock key only works for the numeric keypad on the right side of the keyboard. It does not work for the number keys above the QWERTY portion of the keyboard.

Yes you can. But still have the option to use letter and numbers keys and sometimes it makes it easier. For example, when you want to give someone $250, you would have to click the up arrow 250 times unless you type in "250". This is the only time I really used the keyboard rather than the mouse.

Yes. All of the buttons are programmable and can also be set to customize automatically based on the active program being used. Download the Mouse and Keyboard Center software here to make changes: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/downloads/mouse-keyboard-center

I agree. I am positive there are programs which will let you customize hot keys. :)

Yes, there is a Windows button left of Space and between Alt and Ctrl buttons. I can't tell about functionality because I use Linux OS.

No. This is a standard keyboard 10 Key with minimal extras when used as a standard stand-alone calculator. (Memory/Clear, %, +\-, backspace).

Yes, there are software programs such as 'keytweak' that allow you to re-map your keys. I frequently re-map home/end & page up/down so that home and end can be pressed without using the FN key

If you press the star key on the top of the keyboard below the silver 3 key you may find some info. The 5 silver keys 1-5 are programmable, I believe. The sliding black key between letters G and H enlarges or shrinks items on the screen. The others that have icons on them are straight forward. I don't know what the silver arrows by the wrist rest do. I was very unhappy that it came without a manual.

Yep! You can program the G keys do do virtually anything you want, including relatively long snippets of text. I believe there's an upper limit but I don't know what it is.

Yes, you can map shortcut keys to specific buttons and have multiple programs setup with different profiles. Works really well for any repetitive processes.

suggestions would include trying the function keys, ctrl +Num and Fn +Num. I have no problems. Did you check online on the eHow and others? Geek type computer sites for others with this keyboard? Good luck.

The only way to do it is to set a macro and just set to a key on your keyboard and set the action to that key in game. Windows doesn't seem to recognize the button.

Yes all of the home/end. Arrow keys, etc are on the number pad, you have to press nmu lock to switch them. And the F keys require no activation that I've noticed, I'm always able to use them without any other key toggling them.
