Title: Xarmor keyboard
Post by: bgee on Wed, 24 November 2010, 10:57:29

Hi.
I've bought this keyboard recently and having unbelievable fun with it. But when started my usual work with Visual Studio, I've noticed that all those musical keys, F2-F4 stopped working as usual. Checked them with sourceforge\keyboard tester i saw it sends strange messages to the system - not SHift-F5 but BackMusicTrack or something like this.
So, guys, perhaps u know how can I fix it?
I mean, those additional keys are cool yeah-yeah, groovy, but give me my Shift-F5 back u know... :)

Thank you. So no hope they will upgrade driver or something like this?

BTW after some tweaking with AutoHotKey (thanks to ripster) I get to next code (wrap it as .ahk file) and you'll have your shift+F1-F6 keys back:

+Volume_Mute::+F1
+Volume_Down::+F2
+Volume_Up::+F3
+Media_Play_Pause::+F4
+Media_Prev::+F5
+Media_Next::+F6
 May be it will save time for someone.
