Unique keyboard issue.
« on: Mon, 06 February 2012, 19:25:11 »
I recently purchased the Thermaltake Meka G1 keyboard and have had one problem with it. Now I've never heard of something like this happening but, I've had the keyboard for a couple weeks, and have only used it at home. (I frequent a LAN center and bring my own peripherals.) After bringing it to the LAN this weekend for a tournament, I noticed that when multiple keyboards are plugged in, I can control my caps key with my keyboard (peripherals are plugged in VIA extra USB slots, while the house peripherals remained plugged in), however, my numlock key is controlled VIA the other keyboard, and is unresponsive otherwise. Now this was not a problem before bringing it to the LAN center. Since the tournament, I've obviously used my keyboard on my home computer, and my numlock key remains unresponsive. Has anyone encountered this type of problem before, and if so, how do I solve it?

Numlock states are weird, you'll have to toggle the other keyboard's numlock first.

It may possible that your numlock key's switch is broken. Is all the other keys fine?

@daemon: I'm pretty sure that both keyboards numlock should work. I frequently bring my noppoo choc to uni and both the numlock on my board and the pc's original keyboard both work.

Did your Numlock work before the tournament?

hazeluff, the Noppoo Choc Mini is a special case, it presents itself as multiple keyboards already.

I had similar things happen when I had my SSK and Rosewill attached at the same time. Where the SSK's numlock had no effect on itself or the Rosewill, but the Rosewill's numlock worked fine.
