Hmmm, something is strange here. I don't know what happend so all I can do is apologize, I should of checked them more thoughtfully. Just checked mine and some of mine aren't doubleshot, enter, caps lock and f5.
Nah, it's okay. It was said that most of the F-keys aren't usually doubleshot. I went in for the matrix layout. Doubleshot keys and NKRO are just bonuses.

I'm a bit concerned, though, because it's not working on my adapter. The light flashes twice, but I get nothing when I type. Also, can you reprogram it across a USB to PS2 adapter, or do I need to install windows on my computer with PS2?

Try and press the top left hand key. On one of the boards I checked if they could be programmed by making one black except the top left key, then forgot which one.
I don't know if it can be programmed with an adapter but it shouldn't be to hard to find a PC with a PS2 port.

I strongly recommend to use real ps/2 port for programming. Adapter will likely cause a problem if it even work at all.
I also bought it for programmable matrix, any other feature is bonus in my eyes too. At the price it was sold for I am amazed it is 100% function, let alone so nice.

HAHA you erased the program, so all key do nothing. I bet thats the one you got dorkvader.

One of mine doesn't work, the other one only works if connected directly to the ps2 port of the motherboard. They don't work through an ps2->usb adapter.

It should work through an ACTIVE adapter after programmed. It won't work with those dumb purple/green ones.

I bought mine for the keys and couldn't get along with the matrix layout so if someone wants another board PM me and you can have mine for however much it costs me to post it.

Try plugging the dead one in to the motherboard and leaving it for around ten minutes.

The blue cube adaptor works on all of my access boards.

I'm using a PS2 to USB adaptor with both a unicomp (was a gift, they got PS2 by mistake) and a WASD through an adapter at once (saves a USB port).

It's not "hard" to find a computer with a PS2 port, I have 4 in my room, just none have windows on them (and only a few technically "work") I'm going to just shut down my windows box and swap the HDD over into one of them and borrow a monitor for the programming :p

I just had to unplug and the replug the adapter from the USB port, no idea why, but it works now.
I like how "cancel" maps as [ and there is a key labelled with period and semicolon. (comes out as "v" and "V" in Dvorak). "clear" seems to be backspace.

Haven't got anything yet.
Apparently shipping is faster from the UK to Canada than to Germany - or my keycaps got lost.

They turned up at my house today as "returned to sender". Don't know why, I will try and send them out again on Wednesday (my next day off work).

I had a sig once but it's gone. It used to display an icon of a Kinesis. Just imagine that.

Got mine yesterday, thanks fossala!

But howtf did they treat these keyboards ಠ_ಠ

I also found nails in them.


That is some kind of new record.

I found a lot of that stuff in keyboards which had been used in boutiques, but this is much more than I've ever seen.

It is not harmful (contrary to Pharmacy keyboards), but be careful with the needles!

I thought shipping to Germany from UK was generally pretty quick? Maybe it's held up in customs.

No I didn't send them with tracking... If it doesn't turn up soon all I can do is refund you and apologies.
