I think there might be a misunderstanding. Keyboard shortcuts on macOS always require at least one modifier key AND a normal key (press both simultaneously to record). Maybe you can explain what exactly you are trying to set up. ---

There is a thumb button on the Razer Tartarus Pro that outputs the 'Option/Alt' Modifier. I was trying to use the "Click to Record Shortcut" to record 'Option+x'. When I hold the 'Option' button down it displays the 'Option' key symbol. When then type the 'x' key the 'Option' symbol is then overwritten by the 'x', when I should see 'Option'+'X' in the record shortcut entry field. When I use my keyboard to record the same shortcut, this behaves as expected. It just happens to only behave this way with the Tartarus Pro keypad. Also, I have found that remapping keys on the Razer Tartarus Pro will now also remap the same keys on the main keyboard even though I specified the Razer Tartarus Pro. Both these used to work before I ran the update. ---

are you referring to a macOS update or BetterTouchTool update? (I don't think anything changed in BTT related to this, but maybe macOS changed something?) ---

I was able to get it to work. I had to completely uninstall the BetterTouchTool and install it and then recreated the key mappings. Sorry for the false alarm. Not sure why it got confused
