my y key is broken till i send it back id like to map "gaming a" to letter y

Ah, okay.
There is a hidden file within your home directory... it's called .pndxmodmap (or similar). You can edit that one.
The gaming buttons are mapped to PG UP, PG DOWN, PRIOR and NEXT.
You shouldn't change that, otherwise your games won't work. BUT you can set it up so that SHIFT + a gaming button does an Y.
The first mapping in that file is always without shift, the second one with shift.

I was under the impression that the games and emulators would bind to raw keycodes directly rather than the mapped keysyms.EvilDragon said:

That depends on the developers, and I guess most use the SDL and therefore the keymap.

Trust the recursion...
Sorry to hi-jack, but it's kind of relevant...how exactly do I set up xfce to use L for left-lick and R for right-click (and preferably permanently; my nubs don't work so well...)?

Anubber question please (sorry could not resist)
+1 .. Althought I love the fact you can use the right nub for these functions .. I too would prefer to map these to either R and L or perhaps the AYB keys (A left click / Y double click left / B right click)

I'd like to hear a solution on this as well. Both for triggers and ABXY buttons.

I would like to map like thus..
R for shift (it's pretty useless on the left for me)
B for Enter
X for right click
A for left click
Any way to do that?

As said: Yes, it is possible by editing the hidden .pndxmodmap file. However, games won't recognize the buttons then anymore...
Should I create a quick keyboard switcher script?

Doesn't that depend on the software?
If they read the raw scancodes or if they read via X or whataver

A warning for those who start playing with modifying the keymaps. Be careful with mapping symbols onto shift+key as they can shadow the shift+symbol combination.
An example on the Pandora keyboard is shift+backspace being mapped onto del. This shadows the shift+del key combination (which prevents one from deleting without use of the trash bin).
It would have been safer to map del onto Fn+backspace and insert onto e.g. Fn+Enter.
