Annoying keyboard
« on: September 17, 2007, 03:43:22 pm »
Hey fellas!
I've just bought this slim mini keyboard and it looks really great and I write kinda slow at the moment, I'm getting used to it (So confusing).
I thought that it would be great for Soldat but I was a little wrong. Well, there's this dang Fn key before the Ctrl (Like it's taking Ctrl's place-at the bottom left corner)
And I use Ctrl in Soldat to crouch. It's really frustrating because both Fn and Ctrl are small and it's impossible to hit it in-game.
My question is: What software should I use to switch the keys' functions?

It's a Compatitable slimlink, 88 keys, KL-668D keyboard. 
The key arrangement of the Fn and Ctrl are exactly like in this picture.

Already tried that one. It won't work...
The Fn key can't be recognized by ANY key changing program I've tried so far.
Soldat can't recognize it either - no matter how much you press it, nothing happens...
It's such a tumor that I might return this keyboard tomorrow and get a bigger one because my hands are huge and now they started to hurt and I realized I can't operate on this tiny one :(

:O
I returned to my old big unflat one and it's FANTASTCIC for Soldat!
Well... Except it's one year old and most of the letters are already missing so I kind of memorized them and I'm like infront of a piano right now - blank keys @_@
(The keyboard's chinese, I play Soldat and the paint came off)

I wanna buy a big keyboard like the one I'm using now, but flat.
I just wonder if it's gonna be suitable for Soldat :O

just don't buy a shitty keyboard thats all. Go for a logitech one, they make keyboards specifically for gamers you know.

Aren't keyboards with Fn keys for laptops?

You should return it and get a normal one if you find it annouing.

Yeah I know, it's so tiny too (Exactly a laptop-like) :S
Never buy one with Fn before Ctrl, people are complaining all the time that they can never get used to that.
Not only that's annoying - I'm also used with my backspace button being in the right corner. It's not on that other keyboard :S
It was really confusing because the buttons were hard to push. Space is so impotent. Jumping in Soldat was impossible - the space button is like a broken one - sunken so you can't actually press it. And that keyboard frame passes infront of it. That blocks my finger :O
The Escape button is also impotent.
Overall: Gypsish keyboard

Since we started measuring dic... clicks :)

http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/1661/lulmh7.png - New one. Compare my hand to it @_@
I told my dad to buy a flat one for me but he bought this tiny one :O It's not much of a deal, it costed about 10 levs (5-6 dollars)
Sorry for the bad quality, the pictures got sooo dark.

Ma mouse is also optical. Both are wired. The cable iz so long I can hang someone from Poland from here.

You can get a decent keyboard for 10-15 levs in Bulgaria which is about 5-7 dollars.
I'd say that's cheap, chinese therefore, but there are all sorts of keyboards like ones for 20-30 dollars.

No flat keyboards are suitable for Soldat. I hate flat keyboards. I need to FEEL the keys when i touch them! Yarrr!
