Title: Are 122 key keyboards that send scan codes, not button combos, still made?
Post by: NickG3 on Sat, 11 October 2014, 11:16:02

Hi all, I'm in the market for a new keyboard and at my university I saw an old 122 key keyboard and that got me wondering if they still make them. I know I could just buy a model M or F, but I kinda want a brand new one ya know? I found unicomp's pc 122, but it looks like it sends shift + f1 for its f13, whereas I know the old school ones used unique codes for f13 ect. Aside from that I haven't had much luck finding new ones. Does any company still make a legit 122 key board, that works with windows and linux, or do I have to bite the bullet and get an old model M or F?

Thanks.

There are three kinds of Unicomp 122s // this thread should help : http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=19024.0

Sounds like you want the Emulator version.

Thank you! That looks to be exactly what I need, sounds like it should work out of the box with linux and windows even.
