Title: HHKB dip mode switching between mac and windows
Post by: jophde on Fri, 23 August 2013, 11:03:42

I just got a HHKB and I really love.  I most work on OSX so I have dip switch 2 on for mac mode.  I have a windows partition I use occasionally I have found that the keyboard is not recognized if it is in Mac mode.  Changing the dip switches every time I switch OSes is a huge pain so I was wondering if anyone knew of any alternatives?  All of the switches off works fine in Windows but then the delete key and modifier key's don't on Mac.

I just plugged my HHKB into my Windows laptop in "Mac" mode, and it works just fine. I typed this message on it.

Weird I will check out Windows update or something.

You can switch the modifier functions on System Preferences on the Mac.
