Can you swap Ctrl and Caps-Lock on the Poker II?
« on: Sat, 15 November 2014, 00:07:11 »
I'm thinking of getting a Poker II, but was wondering if you can do that. I've searched around and have seen people say that they're "fully programmable," but in this context what does fully programmable mean?
Knock Knock.
Race Condition.
Who's there?

Nope. Perhaps with some software you could.

You can use software like the guy above me said. Try SharpKeys, it writes changes to the registry, and is not some dinky little program like AutoHotkey ;)

On a mac you can change it in system preferences but I don't know about windows. I can try the programmable layer tomorrow.
People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

The dumber the reason the more it must be done

The third dip switch on the poker swaps the left ctrl and the caps lock, hope that helps.

You're right, I messed that one up.

i just use the programming layer to swap them, but you have to turn on the pn layer whenever you startup your computer (fn+right shift). ive gotten used to it so it isnt too bad...but it gets annoying haha
