Title: Pok3r right-shift returns?
Post by: krbuck on Tue, 22 December 2015, 10:01:15
I have a relatively new Pok3 (about 3 months or so) and have just loved it. However, just the last few days, the right-shift key seems to map to return (not line-feed or enter but return to beginning of line).

I've tried resetting to factory defaults, but it still does it. I'm not sure if it is something in the OS (Windows 10) or if it is the keyboard. All the dip switches are off (default) btw.

I get the feeling this is a dumb question, but pretty frustrated.

Thoughts?

Try another keyboard.

You may meant home not return. Have you checked the soldering of that switch?

You may have accidentally reprogrammed the Right Shift key as a Home key. Select whichever FN layer is having the issue and hold FN + R. The LED under the spacebar will flash for five seconds and then that FN layer will be restored to the factory keybindings.

He did say he already restored to factory defaults.

Yes, I may have a problem with it. I wonder if there is a way to reprogram my way out of it though. Got to mess with it. Real hassle using just the left shift key.  :rolleyes:

Ok, it looks like a flash of the new firmware helped! I know because I used the right shift key to create that exclamation point and the cursor didn't return to the beginning of the line.

Odd, but I'm happy. Thanks to you guys that gave it some thought.
