Disabling the function layer on a KBC poker II
« on: Fri, 02 August 2013, 10:14:26 »
Is there a way to disable the fn layer altogether on the kbc poker?

what about replacing the holtek chip? does it use a different chip to the kbc poker 1 and would that one have a better fn layer?

is there a programmable chip that i could replace it with and reprogram with usb?

Thanks.

why would you want to disable the fn layer?

this is what I was thinking. but by doing this he would have a empty space because you can not attach a keycap without a switch.

Remove the diode for the switch?

I want to change the PN key to be a "Hyper key", or just reprogram the function layer.

Maybe low profile mx keys would prevent accidently hitting an fn key, but I don't really want to activate a mode by accident, i'm fine with doing fn+another key (which is more purposeful)

but hitting a combo that put's it into a mode I don't have a clue off is a no-no.

maybe i got the wrong keyboard :D

i want to also disable the fn layer so that I can reprogram it in the OS to my liking. so some kind of no thrills replacement chip which just sends a keycode for each key would be cool.
