Liq's way has advantages, but if all you want is to stop macros dead, you can map a key on the nostromo to macros off (this is the third option from the bottom when you left click on a key in the profile editor).
The nostromo 50/52 is such a perfect keyboard replacement I highly recommend it even if you have ZERO interest in it for macros.

The popularity of the keyboard and mouse for game playing has been recognised by many and in this review I am going to be looking at two peripherals from Belkin designed to build and improve upon the mouse-keyboard combination.
The Nostromo n30 retails at $45.99USD from Belkin.
This SpeedPad is designed to replace your keyboard under your left hand - the conventional keyboard wasn't designed to be used in the way gamers do (with one hand on the WASD keys) and so it seems sensible that a one-handed replacement for this section of your keyboard could be very useful.
