Does anyone know if there was a replacement controller for the Poker II sort of like the HID Liberation for the Filco?
-
Wasn't the Poker II already customizable? If so, it wouldn't even be necessary.
-
I'm not able to move the WIN Key to the FN key. I wanted to have the Right WIN key and use the left WIN key as the FN key.... I guess the only way would be some soldering?
-
No, soldering wouldn't make any difference in this case. I suppose there was some limitations to how "programmable" it is. With that being said, if you really want to do something, perhaps you should just look into a GH60 and sell the Poker II? Or try to wire a Teensy up with it?

No dude, You CAN mod this with soldering.
It's completely straight forward. (http://www.freesmileys.org/emoticons/tuzki-bunnys/tuzki-bunny-emoticon-025.gif)
Dremel a slit into the "current traces for that key, and bridge it to the key you "want it to be".
This is fine for single key and modifier swaps, obviously you wouldn't do the whole board like this...
Although I did do it for a buddy of mine that had to swap 14 of the keys to different places.

You're right. My apologies. I didn't think of that. I just imagined desoldering both of the switches and moving them around. Please continue...
