Using a Razer keyboard's WinKey as the Command key for a Mac

Question

I recently bought a MacBook and I'm trying to use it with my Razer Lycosa keyboard. OS X doesn't seem to be able to map — or even detect — the Windows key at all. I'd like to use it as the Command key. Is this possible?

Sometimes the "gaming mode" gets activated on the Lycosa, which locks Windows Key (command key on Macs).

Instructions on how to disable gaming mode are available on the Razer site

You can activate the gaming mode for Razer Lycosa by pressing and holding the Razer Logo at the TouchPanel and then pressing the Windows key. This will deactivate the Windows key. To reactivate the Windows key you just need to press and hold the Razer Logo at the TouchPanel and then press the Windows key again.

All you need to change the alt key to command and windows key to option like this. It may not feel right at the start but they are taking the positions of the command and option keys of a magic keyboard

Have you tried changing the "Modifier keys" in Keyboard prefs->Keyboard tab?
