Windows only :/


Anyone tried this out yet? I'll give it a run when I get home, looks to be quite useful.

I saw it, but the requirement to install it via MSI put me off. If it was a standalone EXE (like Aqua's KeyTest) I would have run it once just to see how many bugs I could find within the first five minutes what it did.

It shows debounce time...it's dope in my book. Better than Aqua KeyTest imo.

Here is a solution:
  • Open the installer with 7-Zip. There are four files inside. Extract and rename them as follows:
    • executable -> Switch Hitter.exe
    • Layout105Key -> 105KeyISO.kbl
    • Layout87Key -> 87KeyANSI.kbl
    • Layout88Key -> 88KeyISO.kbl
  • Create two subdirectories, 'layouts' and 'log'
  • Move the KBL files into 'layouts'
  • Fire up Switch Hitter.exe
Enjoy!
