New Model F Keyboard - Turn Solenoid On and Off
I am trying to turn off the solenoid sound on my new Model F with the key command "Fn+Spacebar+T–>Toggle the Solenoid On/Off”. In the program Via, I am not seeing a way to program “Fn”. I am using “MO(1)" and that is not working (that was a guess to make it work). How can I program “Fn” in Via? Than...

Re: Zenith Z-150 XT Not Working on Mac
Does it work when you plug a different keyboard into the Soarer's and then connect it to the mac? Does it even recognise the Soarer's as a new device at all? There is not easy way for me to try the Soarers with a different keyboard since it is an internal mod that is soldered in. It’s funny that I ...

Well, after reading your posts again, sleep isn’t the issue. MacOS doesn’t have a setting for preventing the USB ports from sleeping like Windows does. Here are a few more things to try: 1.

Re: Zenith Z-150 XT Not Working on Mac
I’ve run into the same issues. For some reason, Apple’s usb drivers are very finicky. Try the following until it works: - Zap the parameter ram - Reset the SMC - There’s a terminal command that forces the USB driver to reset itself: sudo launchctl stop com.apple.usbd sudo launchctl start com.apple....

Re: Zenith Z-150 XT Not Working on Mac
I use Parallels Desktop on my iMac to run Windows 10. In Parallels, if I choose to connect the Zenith "directly" to the virtual machine it works. When I then change that setting to connect back to the iMac, it works in macOS. It even lets me run through the entire Keyboard Setup Assistant. However, ...

Re: Zenith Z-150 XT Not Working on Mac
If you select "change keyboard type" does it take you through the prompts to detect an unrecognized keyboard? I try to do that but it does not move onto the next screen after hitting the key. Thanks for the suggestion though. I have a cheap usb/ps2 adapter that shows the same symptoms with my macbo...

Re: Zenith Z-150 XT Not Working on Mac
I shut down my iMac, turned off the Bluetooth keyboard, and plugged in the Zenith keyboard. I turned the iMac back on and it still doesn’t recognize any keys.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Re: Zenith Z-150 XT Not Working on Mac
Thanks for your response.
It doesn't make sense since the iMac is seeing the keyboard. If I go into System Preferences and try to change the modifier keys, the keyboard shows up.

Re: Cherry MX Keys to Alps SKCC
The Alps SKCC cross mount is actually kinda close to the Cherry MX mount. The thickness of the cross arms is almost on point, all you would need to do is shorten the arms a bit. I tried this once with an SA profile keycap and it worked quite good. So if you are ready to modify your switches this mi...

Cherry MX Keys to Alps SKCC
I bought an IBM Pingmaster recently which has Alps SKCC Green switches. I have some nice key caps I want to use with them but they are for Cherry MX switches.
Are there any adapters available out there?
Thanks!

Are there any other key caps that would fit on these? I want to get this keyboard and put new keys on it. I’ve heard that Cherry MX keys will not fit. You need another keyboard with SKCC caps IIRC. I'm not sure if other vintage cross-mount switches happen to have compatible caps as well. Alps did m...
