Programming the Evolution
I’m super happy with my
keyboard and its programmability except that there is no terse
summary of the remap commands and I always wind up hunting through my
desk to find my manual where I wrote out the terse shortcut to the
remap functions. So for my own convenience, here are the remap
sequences for this beast (sclk = scroll lock):
| Function — Description | Sequence | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Reset — reset all programmed settings | SCLK+CTRL+F10 | Hold sequence until lights stop blinking Alternate: hold F7 during reboot |
| Remap — remap some key | SCLK+F12, [src], [dest], SCLK+F12 | |
| Macro — program some macro | SCLK+F11, [trigger], [macro], SCLK+F11 | [trigger] is a single KEY or SHIFT+KEY, ALT+KEY, CTRL+KEY. [macro] is the macro |
| Key repeat speed | SCLK+F9, F1 - F12, SCLK+F9 | F1=1, F12=300 cycles per second (default is somewhere between F7, F8) |
Also - if a single key seems dead: try resetting the macros. Try doing
a macro to remap the key to itself (SCLK+CTRL+F12, [key], [key],
SCLK+CTRL+F12) - if the key is electronically active the keyboard
light flash rate will change during the remap.
My current problem is one I have experienced before. Some key (right
now, ‘d’) seems to stop working. I debug in various ways (remapping,
opening and cleaning the keyboard) until the key starts working. Then
it behaves strangely for a while - right now on successive presses, I
get different numbers of that character, or none at all. Here is a
sequence of d’s separated by hyphens: dd-d–d—d—d-d-d-dd.
Annoying…
