Razer Nostromo Problems

I have used a Razer Nostromo for all my MMO gaming here recently and I have finally ran into a problem with it in a game. I normally use the side dpad for movement along with my mouse but unless I go in and manually tell my Nostromo thumb pad to act like wasd my character will not move. I have nerve ran into this problem before in a game. I also normally set the wheel bar to act as tab for targeting but when I am in game it will not tab. I tried setting the wheel bar to 1 for testing to see if maybe it was broken but it is not. It replicates 1 just fine but it will not do tab. It will also recognize that it is tab when I clear the key in game and used it to reset the key but it will still not actually tab like it should. This is the first time I have had this issue and I have tested my device in other games to ensure it is still working correctly. Is there something in FFXIV I need to do to help solve these issues?

I don't think FF14 can recognize those keycodes for your device. If Razor provides software to rebind those to actual keyboard keys you might be able to get away with that. Eitherway though this is a usability issue and SE should definitely take a look at providing support for custom devices for handi-capable individuals.

That is what I had to do for the Dpad. I had to use Razers software to rebind them as wasd. The wheel scroll I normally have to set that to tab using their software and it works great in game but FFXIV will not allow it to tab. It does see that button as tab though when I clear the targeting button and use the wheel in the keybinding screen it pops up as tab but when I try to use it to target mobs, nothing.

Interesting; I bet it's because they haven't disassociated tab from the form. Anyhow Tilde (`) (~) looks like an unused key and you could just rebind your tab target to tilde and then tell your Razor software to use tilde.

I am having the issue with the dpad also. I tried to find a work around for this issue online but have come up with nothing. Rebinding it works as a temporary fix but it still does not have the capability to walk diagonally as in most games. Please Square add a fix in for this :) If someone has been able to figure out a fix for all directions that would be super helpful...
