Enter Key: Replace ANSI Enter+Pipe(above that) to ISO-like Enter!?
« on: Tue, 05 January 2016, 10:33:20 »
Hello.

Just thinking about replacing the Enter Key+Pipe(the key above) to a ISO-like Enter key (in ISO ist inverted L-shaped).

Would that be possible? To remap the key I would use AutoHotkey, so no problems there.

Where can I get such a Key??

With ancient IBM iron it can be done because they allowed for it. What keyboard and switches do you have?

There need to be switches in the proper places and you may have to rig up "custom" stabilizers.

Meaning the so called "big ass enter"?


As stated, depends on switches and keyboard.
Also that key usually needs two stabilizers. Might be not worth the effort.

I would assume Phenix means the ISO enter, not the BAE.

Phenix, the switches are in different locations so this won't work. Some PCBs and plates support multiple layouts, so in those you would be able to rearrange the switches to an ISO layout, but in stock keyboards, this feature isn't generally included.

Keys are readily available. The question is whether the switches are in the correct locations to accommodate them.

I don't really know anything about Cherry gear, or where to buy it.

This was in my junk box, and looks like strange placement and configuration to me.
