I started using the WoW interface bar modification “Bartender3″ with my Belkin Nostromo n52. This should explain how I efficiently map my buttons to achieve 46 actions on one 14-key pad. I will be adding to this post as I take screenshots, and I may be able to provide a .lua file to ease the setup process for others.

In array, I map the following for non-shift:

(1) (2) (u) (3) (4)
(5) (l) (d) (r) (6)
(7) (8) (9) (0)

Bartender does NOT support modifier+direction keys, so I bound red shift (left on dpad for me) to this:

(s-1) (s-2) (unb) (s-3) (s-4)
(s-5) (s-,) (unb) (s-.) (s-6)
(s-7) (s-8) (s-9) (s-0)

That way I see the light coming on. It’s the same for the other two shift states. (ctrl/alt)

I’ve set my bars up as 12 buttons over three rows. The four (!) bars i use for this are mapped to the directions of the d-pad, so my ui looks like an inverted “T” I bound everything in this form:

1 2 3 4
5 , . 6
7 8 9 0

I substituted the appropriate modifiers as needed. This gives me 46 buttons (two are directional when unshifted for “strafing”) under my left hand.
