Title: uTRON on Windows 8 x64
Post by: goose114 on Mon, 21 January 2013, 09:35:39

So I just installed my shiny new uTRON (http://xahlee.info/kbd/uTRON_keyboard.html (http://xahlee.info/kbd/uTRON_keyboard.html)) keyboard, but I'm having some trouble getting it to work properly. The keyboard comes with a driver disk, but the drivers are x86 only. As a result, I can't install the drivers, and the keyboard doesn't work exactly right -- the layout is still recognized as a normal English layout so the symbol locations are all wrong. I've changed the language input setting to Japanese in control panel, but that seems to have had no effect.

I realize not many people are using this board, but has anyone gotten one working fully on Windows 8 x64?

Following the instructions here (http://www.edmartechguide.com/2010/10/japanese-keyboard-not-functioning.html) got most things working. The symbols are all in the right places now at least. I'd still like to hear if anyone has the keyboard fully working (TRON mode, kana).
