Title: Question to Poker II users
Post by: spiceBar on Mon, 27 January 2014, 08:48:04

This is a question about the programmability of the Poker II.

I have a KBT Pure Pro and I suspect it works exactly like the Poker II, but I would like to be sure.

I want to program a number of Fn+key combinations so that they generate navigation actions.

To be specific, I want:

  Fn+P  does  Home
  Fn+[  does  Up arrow
  Fn+]  does  End
  Fn+;  does  Left arrow
  Fn+'  does  Down arrow
  Fn+Backspace  does  Page Up
  Fn+\  does  Page Down

On the Pure Pro, I program for example Fn+P this way:
- Press Fn+Ctrl (enter programming mode)
- The Pn key lights up
- Press Fn and P (the key combination I want to program)
- Press Fn and Left arrow (this key combination is what produces Home in normal mode)
- Press Pn to say that this is all this key should do
- Press Fn+Ctrl to exit programming mode

Now if I want Fn+P to do Home, I need to toggle the Pn mode on by pressing Fn+RightShift (the Fn key lights up).

Does it work the same way on the Poker II?

Additionally, I would like to change the behavior of the CapsLock key. I want CapsLock to produce some character (for example "<") and Fn+CapsLock to do the normal Caps Lock. Is it possible?

Please note that I will always be in Pn mode on (by using Fn+RightShift) if it's required (as I believe).

Thank you in advance for trying this out on your Poker II and reporting back!

Yeah, you need to be in Fn+RightShift for it to work unless you do Pn+P. Just tested on my Poker II.

I thought you would have to do Fn+Pn+P if you were not in the "Toggle mode" (Fn+RightShift) and just Fn+P if the "Toggle mode" was on.

Correct?

Have you been able to remap CapsLock and Fn+CapsLock to do different things?
