Razer Nostromo PokerStars Hotkey Settings

Out of Scope
Table Ninja
Other Third-Party Software

Note: I am using this on OS X, but it should work similarly in Microsoft Windows. 4-9 tables is the norm.
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/48...build-1227167/

I try to configure the Razer Nostromo in a keyboard ASDF format.

For example, in the picture below. I map keys 07 08 09 10 as I would on a ASDF keyboard, so it is easier to remember F for Fold (10) and C for Call (14). After that foundation is in place, it is easy to remember the rest of the buttons.

I borrowed the pic from:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/16...l#post33521334

Hope it is OK. Nice pic BTW.


PHP Code:
PokerStars Hotkey Settings (Beta)

------ ------ ------ ------ ------
01 | | 02 | | 03 | | 04 | | 05 |
------ ------ ------ ------ ------

01 Bet/Raise 2 Big Blinds >  
02 Bet/Raise 2.5 Big Blinds >
03 Bet/Raise 3 Big Blinds >
04 Bet/Raise 4 Big Blinds >
05 Bet/Raise 5 Big Blinds 
Code:
------ ------ ------ ------ ------
| 06 | | 07 | | 08 | | 09 | | 10 |
------ ------ ------ ------ ------

06 < Bet/Raise 100% of Pot >
07 < Fold to Any Bet >
08 < Check/Call>
09 < Check >
10 < Fold >
PHP Code:
------ ------ ------ ------   ||
11 | | 12 | | 13 | | 14 |   || (Scroll Wheel)
------ ------ ------ ------   ||

11 Bet/Raise 25of Pot >
12 Bet/Raise 33of Pot
13 
Bet/Raise 75of Pot
14 
Call 
Code:
() < Bet/Raise All-In >

North < Activate Next Table >
North-East < Login >
East < Tile Tables >
South-East < Display Instant Hand History >
South < Activate Previous Table >
South-West < Minimize >
West < Go to 'First Action' Table >
North-West < Show Lobby >

15 < Bet/Raise 50% of Pot >

17 (Scroll Wheel) button < Bet/Raise >

Action not used: Enable / Disable Hotkey Toggle & Fold & Watch (Zoom)

Send Hotkeys to: Active Window

Highlight Target Table: Green
The PokerStars Hotkeys work great, although in Beta, and ever improving. Tables pop-up when action is required, you press your hotkey and it brings another another window in focus with a highlighted color. Works fine for 4-9 tables.

I welcome any suggestions or hints from % of Pot optimiz(s)ation to different key mappings to anything related to the PokerStars Hotkeys (Beta) or PokerStars Shortcut Keys.

My goal is to optimiz(s)e the interface for the Razer Nostromo. Or maybe we can come up with a group standard of key mappings if enough critical mass.

Note to self
============
PokerStars Software Improvements - The Scroll Wheel works OOB on the Nostromo, but you need to set focus. I can increment and decrement the Bet Size Amount. Maybe a Hotkey can be added to set focus on Bet box? Will post in Software Improvements.

Re: Razer Nostromo PokerStars Hotkey Settings

I use 03 for check/fold (use the never fold for free function in TN and you don't need a separate button for check), 04 for call, and 05 for raise. Those are the 3 buttons your fingers naturally rest on when you put your hand on the device. Using other keys for your main buttons is wasted movement. It's the order of the buttons on Stars, so it's intuitive to me.

Here's the rest of mine, if you're curious.

01- ctl+R (registered in tourneys)
06- cycle back through tables (I stack)
10- cycle forward
14- down arrow (to use in the lobby)
thumb button- arrr in!!
The four cross buttons next to the thumb I use for bet sizing (2x, 2.5x, etc)

One tip: Use macros for everything and include a key release. I found that occasionally a key would get stuck and it would start misclicking raise or fold on every table until I hit the key again. When I changed from one hotkey (e.g. F1) to a macro (F1, release F1) it solved it.

Re: Razer Nostromo PokerStars Hotkey Settings

Thanks. When I get the opportunity, I will install the PokerStars on the Windows box and try a trial of TN.

Been happy with the Stars Hotkeys on Mac, but open to more robust solutions.

I will try to map to your settings and play around from there.

Yes, the thumb button is great to push. Not as fun as with the Apple Magic Trackpad. I set it to 4 finger push swipe. So with a four finger forward motion, it pushes. Only can play a table or two that way and gets old after awhile.

Cheers

Re: Razer Nostromo PokerStars Hotkey Settings

*Added a macro called Auto-Register

Note: Need a 2 second delay after Cmd-S to work properly. This is Mac Only.

Re: Razer Nostromo PokerStars Hotkey Settings

No worries.

I am pretty conservative in my approach, but CombatCarl has written up some of his hotkeys also:

Re: Razer Nostromo PokerStars Hotkey Settings

I recently discovered how to use keymaps. I then thought of CombatCarl's Hotkeys settings to add additional functionality.

Keymap1 will remain almost the same, but I disabled NE, NW and SW functions to streamline. N will remain 'next table', S will remain 'previous table', W will changed to 'Keymap2' and E will be changed to 'Stack' since I migrated from Tile. SE will be for auto-register SNG.

Keymap2 is a copy of Keymap1, but different X Big Blinds and % Pots. W will be changed to 'Keymap3'.

Keymap3 is for misc such as open browsers, macros, music / video player, non-poker, etc. W will be 'Keymap1'. Main button to launch PokerStars.

The default profile has been deleted since there seems to be a bug if switching profiles and keymaps. Mac-only. Fine in Windoze.

The keymaps work pretty seamlessly with a click of a button.

Disclaimer: I did not do too much thinking into X BB and % Pots at this moment. I will take a break from Poker for half a year, so I just want to put this out there before my break. I will re-evaluate at that time.

Also, I noticed this keyboard. I am not sure if someone has posted this in the past.

http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/wasd-v1...-keyboard.html

I believe you can label your own keys, but again, taking a break, so not paying too much attention at this time.

This is built into Stars already, just click Fold and it'll ask if you want to check or fold, make sure you tick to remember your option
