RealForce 87U keymapping unrecognized when logging into Windows 7?
« on: Sun, 09 November 2014, 00:04:25 »
I am using my RealForce 87U on my Windows 7 laptop, however something strange happens when it boots up. For some reason when I type in my password it, incorrect, yet when I type it in from my laptop keyboard I login just fine. What gives?

I double check the key mapping once I am logged in and it's fine (everything typed is as expected), and I also tried locking/unlocking the laptop and it works there as well. Only noticing this strange behavior on boot up.  :blank:

Can it be the wrong key mapping is being loaded at startup?  :(

Figured it out, it's the Numlock key that's activated during start up which causes some keys to map as the numpad. Turning the numlock key off;  everything worked as intended and was able to login.

Duh...  :thumb:

I was going to suggest that some Windows machines do a lazy USB initialisation, and continue to boot the OS even if the USB devices have not come up.

But if you've already resolved it - great!

And thank you for posting the results - it might help someone else with a similar problem.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Yeah it was odd as I dual boot my Windows laptop to Ubuntu 14.04 and Windows 7; the Ubuntu login doesn't turn on the numlock key during the login screen, but the Windows 7 does. <shrugs>
