Blank key between left ctrl and alt

[arda]

I have this keyboard http://www.ebay.com/itm/Advanced-Logic- ... 258bce2aa3 converted into ps2.

I want to program its blank key with Sharpkeys or keyboard layout manager. However I cannot managed to identify the blank key between ctrl and alt. It is not included in model m keyboards i think.

There is no key in the picture. Just blank space, as was typical on PC keyboards before the Windows key came along.

That looks like a Monterey K101, similar to my [wiki]Tulip_ATK_030244[/wiki] (mine's a K102):

That extra key accommodates the fact that most European layouts have one extra key; the US model would simply have a key left blank to save manufacturing two versions of the keyboard. You may find that if you switch to a European layout, that key will do something — a US layout may not be expecting that key to exist, though I would have thought it would still send a code and therefore generate a character.

(The eBay auction on the other hand is an NMB keyboard.)

Looks like a nice keyboard.



Those extra mods are definitely handy. As long as you can access them. If you keep having trouble, I'd try Soarer's converter.

Thank you all. I checked and yes internals are also very similiar with tulip 030244. I don't need usb support yet. I have these 2 "advanced logic research" keyboards one at home one at work.
I just want to assign a windows key and menu key.

I rechecked again and I think they are monterey k104 clone because of the xt at switch

The Monterey K101 is a clone of the Monterey K104 …?

I think K104 is newer version of K101 and it hasn't a/s/x switch.
