FC660C caps lock light.
« on: Wed, 28 August 2013, 18:49:43 »
I finally got my FC660C. It's my first Topre, and I'm liking it so far.  But I noticed that when you switch Caps Lock to Ctrl, pressing Ctrl doesn't turn on the Caps Lock light. I don't know if this is a defect of if it is intended to work this way. Can anyone tell me if there's does the same thing?

That's the way it should work IIRC.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

It's weird that the alternate Ctrl key has a light thing then. What is that for, the people who like to be rebels but are really used to pressing Ctrl in the corner?

Well one way to tell for sure is to check if there's an LED in the usual CTRL position, if there is then maybe I'm wrong and there is a problem with your board.

No, there is no light down there. I figured it would be like a Ducky, where if you hit the key currently designated as caps lock, it turns the caps lock light on.

My F660C works the same way: no Caps light after flipping the DIP switch setting. I have a feeling that if you use AutoHotkey it will work though, which kinda defeats the whole purpose of that DIP setting.

So, not a defect, but a feature!

lol it does. What a ridiculous switch. I'll use it for work then, but at home I use AutoHotkey anyway.
