I decided to prepare an .ahk file for volume up, down and mute keys on my Majestouch, but after trying for an hour, I still couldn't figure out how to execute the file on startup  cry.gif

I basically want to be able to control my volume via my keyboard as long as my PC is turned on with the following shortcuts.

Win + Arrow Up = Volume Up
Win + Arrow Down = Volume Down
NumPad Enter + NumPad Plus = Mute/Unmute

Anyone wiling to lend a hand?  icon_question.gif

Click "Reload This Script" after you edit and save your script.

Btw, do you finish writing the script? for those 3 functions you wanted?

For the code wise, refers to below.

CODE

#Up::Send {Volume_Up}
#Down::Send {Volume_Down}
NumpadAdd & NumpadEnter:: Send {Volume_Mute}


For volume up and down, both Win modifiers works. If you want to specify only Right Win modifiers then you alter both to below code:
For mute, it's a toggle between mute and unmute, so single line of code is needed. As simple as that.

CODE

RWin & Up::Send {Volume_Up}
RWin & Down::Send {Volume_Down}

Just notice this new mechanical keyboard thread from previous one in hardware
(haven't been looking at mechanical for a while icon_idea.gif )

Some feedback on the reliability of 6Gv2,

Bought my 6Gv2 (black switch) in 2010. 3 keys died as of now - no. 6 (number row), full stop and 'd'.
Non-hardcore user, normal home user for documents and some gaming only. doh.gif

Now I have trust issues on Steelseries mechanical keyboard  laugh.gif

On another note, any reliable full-sized mechanical keyboard to intro below RM350 (if possible)?  thumbup.gif

I went through some of the brands and only saw Ducky and Rosewill for that price. Are they reliable? hmm.gif
*
Yup. Ducky and Rosewill absolutely reliable.
There is Filco too. ~RM369.

Btw, why buy a new 1 since you can fix the dead keys switch on your steelseries?

Hmm, I didn't know that this was possible. The alternative you provided is better, I think I'd modify my code for that.

Btw, do you happen to know how to code that between the right Windows key and the right Ctrl on the Majestouch 2 basic? It currently works like a mouse right-click.

Still figuring out how to get these scripts to work automatically on startup. I can't find the 'Reload this script' button...

I'll let you know when I run out of options  tongue.gif
*
Right click the toolbar icon of Autohotkey, and you will see "Reload This Script".

If you want to code work during startup, then you drag the software to startup folder.

That is not mouse right click. That is PC_Application key.
That key is scan code as below.
CODE
SC15D


Edit: Adding example for clearer understanding

Example 1: Remap "PC Application to Right Control Modifier.
CODE
SC15D::RCtrl


Example 2: Remap "(PC Application + Right Cursor) to play music | pause music.
CODE
SC15D & Right::Send {Media_Play_Pause}

Got it! Learnt so much today haha.

Sorry if I'm troubling you but I have one last request for the time being.

I want to set the PC Application key to the British Pound sign. Any ideas?  hmm.gif

Oh, and remember the advice regarding InitialKeyboardIndicators you gave me a few days back? It stopped working after I ran the 'Refresh My PC' tool. Now the settings won't register during startup evemthough I keep changing it back to ''0''.

CODE
SC15D::Send, £

or
CODE
SC15D::£

Ok. If anything feel free to ask again.

2. STATE the parts that you wish to re-use - N/A
3. STATE your purpose - Normal daily usage + bit of gaming
- 3a. If computer gaming - Just Dota2

4. STATE your intended purchase date - Any from today

Please suggest place to buy anywhere near cheras thanks!

You only specify budget and switch (MX Cherry Blue).

How about backlight? Do you need backlit on the keyboard?
How about the layout of the keyboard? Full-size or TKL or 60%?
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Recommendation:
  • Filco Majestouch 2 TKL (~RM369)
  • Ducky Shine Zero TKL <RM300
  • Poker 2 60%

You can refer to the first page of this thread for recommendation too.

how bout cherry mx board 2.0 ? its cheap sold in cycom for 200 bucks

Not recommended as the Caps Lock is not normal layout.
You will have extreme difficulty to get a capslock keycap to replace it.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

From the image, top (black) is Cherry 2.0 board keycap, it's uncommon, so finding replacement keycaps is extremely hard and not much choice.
Middle is standard capslock (widely use) , bottom is stepped capslock (custom keyboard, also common)

So, any other keyboard that you have in your mind?

Most of the new comers to mkb thread also wish to buy a full layout.
Do you really need the tenkey on the right side of the keyboard?

Recommendation:-
- Filco Majestouch 2 (highly recommended, but price > RM300)
- Ducky Zero (Less than RM300, reliable and high quality)

Filco stocked keycaps is the best among all. thumbup.gif
antonio (filco limited edition owner) been typing on 3 years, no shining on filco keycaps. thumbup.gif

But, still I would recommend you to replace the keycaps.
There are so many keycaps profiles, materials, design etc. wub.gif

Loving the layout on my Lightsaber so much right now.

I think I have hit the jackpot for my endgame. Now open for sale; all the keyboards in my signature at discounted price excluding the lightsaber and ergodox (nostalgia, bro).

PM me if you are interested.
