my buddy and I recently starting reprogramming our IBM keyboard because of the soarers converters, but he has more useless keys than me because he has one of the m122 models where I just have a standard model M and F.
But my Omnikey has a bunch of keys that I will never use, is there a way (easiest way would be preferable) that I could make the Omnikey fully re programmable?
Thanks in advance!
Is it possible to make and omnikey ultra with a detachable ps2 cable fully programable?

Do you have the original omnikey PS/2 cable yet? If so, you'd just need one of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/282575686221
That can be used with any PS/2 keyboard and the existing key rollover will be preserved.

If you can already use it via USB and you don't want to mess a lot with hardware, you may want to try AutoHotkey or something similar to make a macro that would remap your key to whatever you want.consensual-penis wrote: ↑24 Sep 2019, 23:41my buddy and I recently starting reprogramming our IBM keyboard because of the soarers converters, but he has more useless keys than me because he has one of the m122 models where I just have a standard model M and F.

Also, I remember that somebody made with a Teensy a sort of USB stick that you plug first to the computer and then the keyboard to it (via USB). The Teensy would then read your input and transform it to whatever you told it to and then send the converted signal to the PC. This is the commercial version (expensive as hell, better to do it by yourself in my opinion): https://www.1upkeyboards.com/shop/contr ... converter/
Hope it helps!
