keyboards with Caplock/Ctrl dip switches
« on: Fri, 13 January 2012, 01:55:59 »
So far I know (due to my limited knowledge) there are three keyboards on the market that have caplock<>Ctrl dip switches.

What other keyboards on the market that have dip switches for CapLock<>Ctrl swapping do you know and I will put in the list.

1. Topre 87U
2. KBC Poker
3. TBtalking Race 75%.
4. Ducky 9008 Shine

2. Happy Hacking Keyboard Pro 2

The hhkbp pro 2 only has the ctrl key on the right place. I didn't knew it was possible to dip switch it as a capslock

It's actually on the left.

No, you can't. CapsLock is Fn+TAB, except if you're in HHKB mode - then there is none. HHKB mode is weird.

Any programable board like the Kinesis advantage and if they ever keep there promis and release the software TrulyErgonomic should be.
Also northgate omnikey does on some models.

Northgate Omnikey boards and Avant Stellar boards, their rebranded successors, let you move Caps Lock to Alt, Alt to Ctrl and Ctrl to Caps Lock. But it depends on what you mean by "on the market," they're not being made any more.

On the Noppoo Choc Mini you can switch them, but not as a dip switch, it's called "switch lock" and I imagine you have to toggle it on each time you turn on your computer. My brother is using one, I'll try to double check that.

I was doing some research today about this subject, so I'm resurrecting this old thread to keep it authoritative...

The Shine 9087 seems to also have a DIP switch:
http://www.duckychannel.com.tw/en/DK9087_shine2.html

I think possibly Ducky's G2 series 9008 and 9087 as well? Info pages mention DIP switches. Not documented what they do, but given the lineage, it's probably the same as the Shine series with the same model numbers.
http://www.duckychannel.com.tw/en/DK9008_G2Pro.html
http://www.duckychannel.com.tw/en/DK9087_G2pro.html

Of course the CODE keyboard has this feature. I'm sure many of you know that already as CODE has gotten plenty of press.
http://codekeyboards.com/
It looks to me like pretty much all WASD V2s have it. Makes sense. CODE is pretty much a fancified rebranded WASD V2.
http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/media/v2-user-guide.pdf

The Majestouch Minila, discussed in this GH thread, has DIPs:
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40018.0

The Northgate OmniKey is not "on the market" (except maybe used) but apparently its DIP switches supported this swap.
http://deskthority.net/wiki/Northgate_OmniKey_101

Also, not entirely relevant but slightly related the so-called "truly ergonomic" keyboard has a ridiculous array of DIP switches some of which affect ctrl although none of the configurations map it to the position left of the "A" key. lol.

pure pro switches the left Fn key (which is next to left ctrl) with caps lock.

Keycool 108 doesn't have a dip switch, but one of the 4 "extra" keys on the top right swaps Ctrl/Capslock.
