HHKB dip mode switching between mac and windows
« on: Fri, 23 August 2013, 11:03:42 »
I just got a HHKB and I really love.  I most work on OSX so I have dip switch 2 on for mac mode.  I have a windows partition I use occasionally I have found that the keyboard is not recognized if it is in Mac mode.  Changing the dip switches every time I switch OSes is a huge pain so I was wondering if anyone knew of any alternatives?  All of the switches off works fine in Windows but then the delete key and modifier key's don't on Mac.

I just plugged my HHKB into my Windows laptop in "Mac" mode, and it works just fine. I typed this message on it.

You can switch the modifier functions on System Preferences on the Mac.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
