Title: Question about Poker II programming.
Post by: czarek on Wed, 16 October 2013, 16:07:34

I never liked Poker for its layout of the modifier keys around space bar. Recently I found out Poker II allows hardware programming and this actually rang the bell. Question to Poker II owners: Does it allow reprogramming bottom row of the keys? I'd like to totally change the positions of Win, Alt, PM and FN keys.

You can't change FN key without harware modding.

Nor the Pn key.

Thanks for your quick replies guys. It makes this keyboard just as useless as the Poker I or Pure to me then :)

You can turn the WIN key to a FN key, but that's about it. And in order to run any of the hardware programs, you have to hold down the PN key + the trigger. :(

What I ended up doing was map all the WIN-key shortcuts and moved the WIN key to the PN key that way. It's ugly... but it works. For some reason, why I use the keyboard at home instead of at work, the bindings don't work.
