Title: DIP Switches
Post by: nsrexler on Fri, 05 April 2013, 10:08:27

The Ducky Shine II I'm using has a DIP switch that swaps the position of the Alt and Windows keys, which is really convenient for me since it allows me to use it on a Mac without having to remap the keys in software. Are there any other keyboards that include a feature like this? The only other one I know of is the upcoming WASD V2.

The poker allows you to swap the left alt and left windows key. I don't think it lets you do it for the right tho

Further, the HHKB has a 'Mac Mode' selectable via dip switch, which adds media functionality. Mac drivers also available.

Any other full-size or 87% boards with this feature?
