Title: Win key on Noppoo choco mini doesn't work sometimes?
Post by: calavera on Wed, 04 May 2011, 23:24:42
I'm not sure if I hit something by accident or not but sometimes the window key doesn't work. Anybody have a clue as to if I have triggered something by accident perhaps?

It's not working right now all of a sudden, it was working earlier..wtf? A reboot or replugging the usb cable usually fixes it but is there an option where you can disable the window key?

There is an option to disable win key. Useful for games like starcraft where accidentally hitting the win key will result in tabbing out and you losing the game.  I think its called switch lock and a combo of the function keys.

No prob, I used it a lot when I had a Noppoo, But now I use the Win key as Fn on my Poker to allow WASD as arrow keys :P

Poker is 6KRO over USB. I don't have a PS/2 adapter to see if it would change.

The keys are labeled. One has a windows logo with a slash through it, that key + Fn disables the windows key.
