What button would this be?
Freestyler can accept input from MIDI, KEYBOARD or SENDMESSAGE.
xkeys can send keyboard strokes so will work with freestyler.

Here's what I think:
- A programmable keyboard, can "press" keys for you if you press a key on that keyboard.
- Every function in FS that can be mapped to a key, you can program that key to that keyboard and assign it to a key on that keyboard.

I've worked with programmable keyboards before. PS/2 as well as USB. On all models I could assign an key (or key combination) to a key on that keyboard.
And as long as applications were able to be controlled by that key(s)(-combinations) you can control those applications with all kinds of programmable keyboards.
A lot of functions in FS can be controlled by keys, so without any testing I say it will work. I just cant guarantee that.

Cool. Well I ordered the keyboard and will let everyone know how it worked. Just wish I had more control over the one step scenes I created. Doing lights this weekend for a Metallica Tribute band Battery. 20 Scenes in a cue doesn't seem like enough. Was messing around with the Sm's lastnight and trying to run and stop things really fast but wasn't having much luck getting the timing down. I am running these scenes live. Are the override buttons static? Seems my scanners stop moving and my chases dont work when using these buttons. Maybe I have to plan on using the Cue list, SM's and the overide buttons to trigger my scenes. I will post a video of the show next week. Wish me luck on my first LJ gig.

Overide buttons don't play sequences. They just 'start' the first step in a sequence.
