Poker II Multimedia Controls
« on: Fri, 13 March 2015, 21:52:41 »
Is it possible to set something on the Programmable Layer to Multimedia controls?

Especially for: Pause/Play, Next and Previous?

Or would this require a key remapping program?

Programming a Poker II involves two steps:

1) Press the key you wish to program
2) Press the key(s) that you wish to have emitted by the key in step 1

As such, you cannot program it to do anything that it doesn't already have a key for: you can only shuffle existing keys around or compose macros of existing keys. This could be solved by allowing a key to be programmed to a scancode instead of a macro, but they didn't think of that. For a 60% keyboard, that is quite an unfortunate limitation.
