Recently I got my hands on an IBM 5576 Japanese keyboard. While using a cheap PS2-USB converter, everything works fine.
By "fine", I mean that the characters and punctuation marks are exactly same with the key caps. For example, I can input the " mark with shift+2 with no problem.
However, when I switched to a TMK converter for better flexibility, I ran into trouble really soon. The shift+2 key combination no longer inputs " , it now inputs @ as it is on a 101/102 key English keyboard.
To get the input and the key caps aligned, I have to modify the registry of Windows to force the English input method to use the 106 key layout DLL file. Which can be really annoying because I am hooking up the 5576 with my laptop, which has a 101/102 key English layout.
Is there a way to let the TMK converter just work as the cheap dumb PS2-USB converter, while maintaining the flexibility of TMK?
Thanks in advance!
