Title: Filco Numpad Linux Solution
Post by: remlap on Fri, 18 March 2016, 12:10:16
I bought a Filco numpad today and discovered it would lock up after few minutes under Ubuntu when pressing the num lock key.

Lucky this system has PS/2 ports so I decided to try it with a passive USB to PS/2 converter I had lying around and worked fine, but for future proofing I then went and dug out a Bluecube PS/2 to USB and it works exactly the same as PS/2.

the = key now acts like a backspace and a the 00 key now is just a 0.

I had a Red ESC Filco key around the place so decided to swap it out and now ordered a Red FILCO key to replace the = key
