Title: Topre Realforce 86u/87u key remap problems on Mac?
Post by: kbrint on Mon, 01 November 2010, 13:08:09

Comrades,

I am considering a Topre Realforce keyboard.  I remember reading about someone having problems remapping the Alt and Windows keys on MacOS.  I need the bottom row to be Caps, Alt, Cmd, Space (left to right)...

I know the Caps is not a problem due to the hardware switch.  But, I can't seem to find the article that I saw before, despite considerable googling.

Are there any Topre Mac users that can confirm it's possible?

Thanks!

I'm looking at the 103U, which i think is similar to the 86U ... on the right hand side it has a "menu" key instead of a windows key.  Is this also easily mapped to option?  Is there anywhere I can get replacement keycaps to make it more maclike?  (Also, the 103UW from elitekeyboards.com seems to come with a keypuller but doesn't mention swappable control and caps lock keys.  Does anyone know if they are included, or where one can purchase them?)

For the right "menu" key, I'd recommend KeyRemap4MacBook. It will happily remap that key to any function key you want, along with a boatload of other options.
