Title: Any Dota 2 players with Poker IIs?
Post by: combataran on Mon, 09 June 2014, 00:23:43
I'd like to know how you use your Poker IIs, specifically the lack of the Fn1~12 keys. And the other keys as well when you're not playing.

Although not exactly what you're looking for, I use an HHKB with my right hand when I play.

I've grown accustomed to just using [Fn+toprowkeys] for all my function keys. Ignoring the spectator commands, the only important things I even leave up there are the scoreboard, pause, and console.

For regular computer usage, the only thing that bugs me with these 60% boards sometimes is the lack of a numpad.

I play DotA 2 and I had no idea the function keys did anything.  I'll check it out next time I'm playing :P

If you need the function keys, I recommend the fn lock mode and remap the function layer to that of your choosing.

Don't do it.  Fm+num keys makes the game literally, unplayable.

On my poker F keys are accessed with capslock + 1, 2, 3, 4 etc.

What do you need the numpad for in Dota?

Dota is easier with dedicated F-row.  But you can always remap the camera controls.

I use my 60 for most games but Dota requires the Choc Mini :)

I play dota on my KBT pure. I just change f1 to 1, f2 to 2 and all that cause I don't really use the numbers in the first place.

For pause and unpause i just press fn +9 for F9.
