Title: Model F problem
Post by: 1391406 on Mon, 04 August 2014, 09:17:57
I have two terminal Model F's, and it seems my backup is experiencing a curious issue. My right arrow is registering as both, the right arrow and Numpad 4, resulting in the number 4 being displayed followed by a cursor movement to the right when actuated. Aqua Key Test confirms that it's registering both keys. HID listen displays the following when the right arrow is actuated:

r6B +5C d5C r6A +4F d4F
rF0 r6B -5C u5C rF0 r6A -4F u4F

I've already tried re-seating the key cap multiple times to no avail. I then tried to remap the right arrow to, well, the right arrow, but I don't know how to un-assign Numpad 4 to it.

Any ideas?

Next thing I would do is open it up and clean it.

Though if you're using Soarer's stuff and you don't use the numpad I believe you can map a key to nul.

I'll try that for the heck of it.

Okay that worked, which sucks because I actually do use the Numpad from time to time. Thanks for the suggestion, by the way.

Odd that it should manifest in the 4 and not the 1.

Could you have debris floating around in the underworld?

Quite possibly, as this is the Model F I performed the ANSI mod on.

By the way, what's the best way to clean the PCB? Damp cloth? No alcohol, I assume.

UPDATE:

Okay, so the problem turned out to be that I had both, my F-122 and AEK plugged in simultaneously. Once I unplugged the AEK, the F-122's key registration issues resolved themselves.

It has been my experience that a Teensy does not play well with others, and that only one Teensy is allowed at a time.
