Title: Poker II Remap Caps/Ctrl
Post by: reziak on Wed, 30 October 2013, 15:45:21: Hey all,

I tried to find other topics about this - because I'm sure it's been talked about - but I was wondering what the best way to switch Caps Lock and Control on my Poker II. If it's a software, are there any that can save and switch profiles? The reason I ask is that I'm thinking of getting an HHKB soon and wanted to be able to switch to my Poker II with reds for some gaming, but would like to retain Ctrl in the HHKB position all the time. Thanks for your help!

Fantastic idea! By the way, can I borrow some cash? ;D

But seriously, it's going to happen at some point....

I wish it were that easy! Thanks for the input though.

There is no DIP switch that does that on the Poker 2.

Oh you're right, I misunderstood something I have read. So yeah I would recommend AHK too then.
