Title: Is KBC poker ii compatible with mac?
Post by: vatin on Sun, 05 January 2014, 05:19:41
I carry my kbc poker ii to use at the client's office which happen to use macs. How can I assign command key to my poker ii. I suppose you need to change some settings in os x?

If I'm not allowed to install software, is there any alternatives?

There is no AHK for Macs.

Windows key = command key on Macs.

This can be done without external software just using system preferences. System preferences > keyboards > modifier keys (or something like this... On my phone at the moment.)

You can do it through Mac keyboard software settings.

Go to system preference  ->  keyboard  ->  top right hand corner there should be a scroll down menu pick usb keyboard  ->  then pick modifier key

Now what want is to map:

CMD key -> Alt key
Alt key -> CMD key

Then you're done  :D
