Key mapping
« on: Wed, 01 February 2012, 23:40:04 »
Hi guys, I am wanting to map my left windows key on my Poker to a Fn Key. What would be the best method?
Also I have noticed my left shift has a squishy feeling, is this caused by the stabilizer? And how can I make the key feel more crisp?
Cheers.

For the key mapping, I think autohotkey will do the trick. For the squishy key, I dunno.. but other people here do!

Thanks, Is there an alternative to Autohotkey? I would prefer the simplest method so I don't have to run a program constantly.

Hi Vortex, thanks for the kind offer but unfortunately I do not have a skype account :c.
About remapping the Windows key to the FN key can I do this manually using regedit? And if so what values do I need to change?

Hmm does anyone have any idea as to why when I tried to remap my Caps lock to escape by editing the registry it did nothing?
I navigated to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout
and created a binary value named Scancode Map
I then input the correct numbers in the correct format and rebooted. But it didn't change a thing :c

I think the easiest way to do this in poker is via the dip switch..
dip switch 4 if I'm not mistaken
remember to unplug first before changing the DIP switch. If that still wont work, try restarting before re-plugging the keyboard

Edit: here's my poker manual

+1 for forcefollows suggestion. Although the DIP switch for it is 1 :D. Easy peasy!
Also switching ctrl and caps is highly recomended, DIP for that is 2.

ahaha..my mistake.. no wonder I got confused when I first try the switch I must've gotten myself the wrong manual...sorry
EDIT: look into the manual and read the dip switch setting in reverse order ,e.g., dip switch 4 to 1, 3 to 2 ...
the link is on my post above

Key Tweak works pretty well most of the time, although you have to restart to get it to take effect.

There is also a reset to original that puts it all back, if you want or need that.
