Title: Can you swap Ctrl and Caps-Lock on the Poker II?
Post by: ViciousWhiskers on Sat, 15 November 2014, 00:07:11
I'm thinking of getting a Poker II, but was wondering if you can do that. I've searched around and have seen people say that they're "fully programmable," but in this context what does fully programmable mean?

Nope. Perhaps with some software you could.

You can use software like the guy above me said. Try SharpKeys, it writes changes to the registry, and is not some dinky little program like AutoHotkey ;)

On a mac you can change it in system preferences but I don't know about windows. I can try the programmable layer tomorrow.

The third dip switch on the poker swaps the left ctrl and the caps lock, hope that helps.

i just use the programming layer to swap them, but you have to turn on the pn layer whenever you startup your computer (fn+right shift). ive gotten used to it so it isnt too bad...but it gets annoying haha
