2 years on still got the same issue can anyone help me sort this out as recently came across this keyboard in my attic and works perfectly and is in amazing condition. I am trying to sort out the issue I have for it but likes like this was still a windows issue a year ago as well. If the fix has been done by now can anyone please lend me a hand and sit on teamviewer and skype with me? Marvin J. McHardy

Microsoft Power Toys app somewhat solves the issue. The old unsigned drivers and side loading of drivers no longer seems to work. With MS Power Toys you can rebind many of the keys on the Zmerc and possibly the Merc and Steelseries. However, the ability to hold down multiple keys appears to be broken if you use Power Toys to rebind the dedicated butterfly keys. What boggles my mind is that no other keyboard manufacturer has bothered to bring these keyboards back, surely there is money to be made by selling dedicated gaming keyboards like this.
