Affirmative 1225T
« on: Wed, 13 November 2019, 20:36:22 »
So, I recently purchased an Affirmative 1225T on Ebay for 14.99 plus shipping, practically drooling over all the extra keys. But I didn't do enough research before hand, and discovered that getting it to work is elusive.

Has anyone succeeded in getting F13-F24, and all the left hand function keys to work on Windows 10? I know there's a driver, (I found it on this site, actually, which is why I registered for an account here, because you all seem so helpful.) But I don't know how to make it work with the PS2 USB adapter. The keyboard acts like a normal keyboard with the adapter, but that's not the point of having a 122 key keyboard, now is it?

Any help is appreciated!

What kind of PS/2 to USB adapter are you using?

I find that most of them end up simply dropping the extra scancodes that these keyboards generate. Your best bet is to use a Soarer's converter. Or you could try doing what I'm doing and write your own keyboard support (in my case for X11).
