ROG Keybot Switch

[jeronbernal1]

hey everyone, so i've finally figured out how to get my ROG Keybot to work.. took a reinstall of my drivers... but other than that...

is there some type of keyboard command to switch Keybot on and off? or do i always have to go to the notification area/press the hard keybot button on mobo to turn it on off?

i was hoping there was a simple way to go about having it turn on and off

thank you!

Hi jeronbernal1 and Welcome to ROG

Have you read this article: http://rog.asus.com/319112014/maximus-motherboards/what-is-rog-keybot/

Hope this helps.

Thanks, MeanMachine. That's a nice read.

It does raise the original question, though. It appears that only F1 through F10 are customizable in Keybot and F11/F12 are dedicated to wake-up. What happens when we run across software that has conflicting assignments for some of the function keys? How easily can we accommodate other software? I'd also like to customize game macro keys on the Logitech G710 without the Logitech bloatware, but that's asking much.

I have started to use it, without the hardware SWITCH: I have no boot options. That is fine for me. DEsktop macros do work withoput switch.
Asus keybot occupies 15 MB process. Opensource HotKeyP uses 1 MB.

After testing Keybot, I must say:
it has ROG functions, but in MS Word it cannot udr a customized setting for F1 and F2 (which I configed as Undo and Redo)

But HotKeyP is able to use them the way I like.

I also miss setting a text to a key, although login helper button is similar.

Do we know if Asus will improve this excellent, nice looking but early version? I hope so.
