Title: Gigabyte Osmium Aivia - Win Lock to Menu key
Post by: maudio33 on Mon, 11 February 2013, 10:44:45

Hi all,
I am new in mech keyboards.

Today I bought Osmium Aivia with cherry red mx and it is just perfect, much more better than my Microsoft Natural 4000 and my Thinkpad keyboard.

But I have one problem, I tried to google, but without success.
I bought this keyboard not for gaming, but for programming and office and sometimes I use menu key on my other keyboards.

It is possible somehow change function of Osmium "Win Lock" key to standard menu command?

Thanks,
Tomas

NO

well... to be sure, if it's "not" in their "macro" software...

That.. means it's hardware based.. which means "no changing"

HOWEVER, you can sacrifice one of your unused keys and just wire that up, then using the scan-code changer, alter it to map for context menu key..

Did you try it?

I am thinking about some WIN8 registry hack or something...

The key lock "doesn't" send anything to the computer.. it's likely hardware.

Too bad, besides this, keyboard is perfect...so maybe I will map Menu key to some other unused button like you said. Thanks for your insight

(And what about Fn key? It will be the same hardware stuff right?)
