ISB issue with G510/Windows 8

Currently I am having the following problem.

Running 4 instances with a G510 keyboard on my laptop (windows 8).

Using F1 - F5 for my keymaps, which are constantly spamming keystrokes 1 - 5 to different instances.

Also made four hotkeys on my G1-G4 with ctrl-alt-1, ctrl-alt-2, etc. to switch easily between my instances.

What happends every once in a while is that when moving and using the right mouse button to change view, the view goes directly down and its hard to get it back to normal. Almost impossible to do it with the mouse itself and mostly I have to use the HOME key to get my view back in order.

Also what happends from time to time is that when switching between instances using my G1-G4 keys they get stuck and my keystrokes aren't sending correctly anymore.

Could it be the constant spamming of the F1-F5 keys? Windows 8? Mouse sofware? Or a mix of those?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Is this with WoW? I can't say I've heard of this happening, so I'm not sure what to suggest

Oh sorry, it's happening in EQ1.

I changed my keymaps to numeric keypad and that doesn't change it.

Might be some windows shortkeys?

Since I am spamming keymaps like hell and also switch instances a lot, there is a high chance I am pressing a certain shortkey without realising it.

Sometimes I even get the search file screen, when switching instances.

Anyone else have problems with this or know how to turnoff/adjust certain shortkeys in windows 8?

Firescue17 on these forums probably knows something about this. I remember in one of his videos on is virtualization menu for his G15 keyboard he actually had POV buttons for resetting camera views. I know that's not an actual answer but its a clue. Firescue17 is very open to teaching and you can probably PM him here or even catch him in game on the ISBoxer:ISBoxer chat serverwide.

Thanks for the advice ;)

I am starting to think it has nothing to do with ISBoxer or the G15 though, I am starting to think it's a mouse thing.

You can try turning off mouselook under Options -> Keyboard -> Camera -> Toggle mouse look. I turned it off on all my boxes except the tank and puller (I fiddle with their cameras to look around corners), then removed the keybind so it can't get turned back on.
