Title: Noppoo Choc Mini numlock issues
Post by: dezno on Thu, 11 April 2013, 14:49:01
Hey, just got my Noppoo Choc Mini today shipped from Beijing. It has an american keyboard layout, and since I live in Norway I'm not completely used to it yet. Mainly I play WoW with a Razer Naga, which requires to have numlock on, but on this keyboard numlock activates the blue keys. (U=4, I=5, O=6 etcetc) I don't want to play on the 123 mode on the naga. Having numlock on on my previous keyboard (a razer lycosa) worked just fine. Is there any way I can make so that numlock doesn't enable blue keys? Thx

That would defeat the purpose no? The point of the numlock is to ENABLE the numpad for use... That is the feature of the choc mini and Keycool 84; otherwise you'd have to look into using a KBT race or otherwise.

You might be able to use Autohotkey to remap the numpad positions on the Choc Mini to overcome the Numlock being enabled, but that might affect the Lycosa as well if you're using two keyboards at the same time.

I don't think there's a way around this, unless you change your mouse keys to use normal 1-9 etc. but I doubt that would work?

won't work since the script won't distinguish between the Naga numpad and the noppoo numpad as they send the same messages.

Well, AHK is inferior to MacroHID and such stuff that recognizes different devices.
