Yes I have a g13 and it works fine for me on my pc and ok on the mac. As far as It appears to me there is no set profile for COH which is unfortunate but it recognizes keystrokes just fine. I have mine set up just as I had my n52 gamepad set up, buttons g1-g5 as numbers 1-5 on the keyboard and the buttons g8-g12 as numbers 6-0. I then had the joystick setup for the standard wasd keys. You have to do this through the profile editor and just input the keystrokes into the appropriate key on the graphic. make sure you save it as a profile as the g13 tends to revert to the default profile at times.
I now have extra keys set up for a map, target nearest enemy, and an auto accept dialog buttons as well. I had to set up the Dialog accept as a macro because there is no default key set for this in the keymapping for the game, But you can just as easily set a key up for that (I believe) in the game. That goes for any of the keys on the g13 for keymapping.
I did it this way so if I ever swap computers form one to another I dont have to reprogram a bunch of keys either in the g13 or the game as the g13 saves it profiles in the gamepad itself. It makes transferring to the mac and back to my pc easy.
My only problem is the mac has an issue with multiple keystrokes with the g13. For instance I cannot get it to accept an "alt+keyinput" (which the pc does just fine), so I ended up making a macro for that.
What exactly is the g13 not doing right for you? Is it not responding at all?
I did manage to get it to respond, but it won't take new key assignments.
For example, I assign a button that is currently assigned "2" to "Space", it changes in the profile editor, but in game, it still only works as "2" (and that's after saving the profile, exiting, reloading the profile, rebooting the game, etc)
Hmm... its not changing the profile on you? get into the key profiler and under
preferences click the profile tab there is two boxes to check enable default profile and enable persistent profiles.
I dont know if you want to enable your profile as a persistent profile if your also playing wow or another game with the g13 but its not too hard to change back if you do. if you have already done this then I'll have to think of what else I did to get mine to work. I hope you get it to work for you as I find this incredibly helpful to my gaming experience .
Well, I just got one of these babies, and it seems to work super-well with any game other than CoH, the one game I really wish it would work with, of course. It recognizes other games when they start up and loads the appropriate files. But with CoH? Nope, nada. Not even when I assign the profile to the CityOfHeroes executable, and NOT the CoHUpdater, and then switch back and forth.
Anyone have any ideas? I love this little programmable keyboard, but for the one thing I really wanted it for, it's not working. Anyone have some suggetions? Yes, I've ran all the updates and stuff.
To help others, first you must be able to help yourself.
I have been using one of these in WoW for a couple months now, just came back to CoH.
There is a an out of the box profile for it, open the key profiler and search for new games.
Hopefully I can get it to work the way I want, will make farming a lot less tedious.
Dark Armor is like that kid you knew in school that didn't know when to shut up, and no matter how bad he got beaten down, he got right back up again and kept on talking.
works like a champ, now I just need a new mouse........

These things rule, but there is no profile ive found that works. go to MENU>options>key binds.
there's two columns there.
go to the second column.
right click on whats there and manually reset them. instead of arrow key forward, push up on left joystick. set your movement, camera,and power trays up. how you like.
its nice to have a bind for reset camera, and face target.
i hope this helps. Ive been doing it for 5 years.
should'nt even need the disk that came with the game pad.
I just changed a few of the binds in the profile that is in the software, i have the newest version, not really a big issue.
I downloaded the software for it, disk that came with it never worked.
You have to search the profiles for Coh/CoV, but they are there.

I do have to say, I just opened one of these G13's up and so far it's working fine for me. I downloaded the currently updated software (Since I run windows 7 64bit) and it loaded fine, auto-discovered that I have CoH installed, and loaded the profile for that. I swapped some keys around and now I'm off and running. Took about 15 minutes, 10 of which was me customizing the profile.
Does anyone use this? I have one, and it works fine in WoW, but for some reason, it simply does not respond in CoH, even with the profiles, etc. set up correctly.
