Just got myself a Filco Majestouch 2 brown switch from Viewnet for RM389...my first mech. Been waiting for make the switch for more than two years, glad I finally did =)

Still figuring out how to turn off NumLock as a default when I boot my machine. Anyone for ideas?

Thanks for the replies guys!

I bought my keyboard in such a hurry, forgot to check if all the contents are in the box. In the end, it's missing both the keycap puller and the WASD alternative caps =/

Thanks for clarifying. Cos before I bought my normal majestouch, I remember I saw someone on Youtube reviewing a Camo version and it came with the puller and WASD (I think) included. But yeah, no big deal. I guess...
Haha I went there yesterday as well. And yeah, they stocked up quite a bit. But their Filcos most of their stock gone d. Was aiming to have to look at the Majestouch AI blue I saw a month back but its gone d, along with every other Majestouch 2 browns except the last unit which I ended up buying.

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

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?

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

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?

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''.

Ahhh..I see. I was trying SC15D::!156

Thanks again!

Alt+156 (how to type £ in US keyboard layout)

Cos I remember reading the AHK guide saying ! is code for alt, so I thought that that method would work haha.

Bought my Filco Majestouch only a week ago and the keycaps quite smooth d

Too slippery =/

Anyone got rough-ish keycaps for sale ah? The more it looks like stock Filco, the better

Hmm...never researched alternative keycaps before actually.

I'm looking for something like my Filco's Spacebar. Duno why it's the only keycap that's rough.

In terms of colour (white on black) and fonts. I want it to look like a regular keyboard essentially and not stand out too much.

Any shops I can go to find keycaps? I don't feel comfortable with making purchases online as I'm buying with the touch and feel of my purchase.

Got a link for it? can't find on Google...


So I would assume that only blank caps and side-printed caps are rough?

Sorry, if my questions sound stupid but I'm still learning

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Keycool-Print-Whit...rds=pbt+keycaps

Is this the ones you were talking about? And how to determine if the keycaps are really matte/rough. And what are the thick PBTs I keep seeing? Got different grades?
I bought my Majestouch with numpad browns from Viewnet Lowyat last week. I don't think got any more blue switches, but there were a few reds. Not sure about the Ninja and Camo versions though.

Thanks for the link. I'll consider it but most likely I might be ordering it from a UK site as I'll be studying in the UK soon. can save on the hassle and the shipping costs =)

Went to Lowyat again, C-Zone got quite a nice collection of MKBs in stock. First time I saw a Deck. And full-size Majestouch for RM360...quite a bargain. Got pink edition Ducky also.

Thanks for introducing me to Massdrop
I didn't know got such sales here wan haha.

Btw, I'm trying to figure out how to open Windows Media Player and straight away shuffle songs with AHK. Will let you know if I (don't) make it

Anybody can assist me to create a script on AutoHotkey to open up Windows Media Player and shuffle music?

I want to program it to Windows key + F5 (#F5).

I'd really appreciate the help!

Sure

Basically when I press Win + F5

1. Windows Media Player to opens up.
2. Windows Media Player starts playing my entire collection.
3. Windows Media Player forwards to the next song. (by default, it always starts with the same song on the top of the playlist. Only when you forward to the next song will it truely shuffle music)

Shuffle toggle is always turned on. But everything i press the play button, it always starts with the same song...
I've got this script based on your advice...but it doesn't seem to work.


Sorry, for a total beginner, AHK has a rather steep learning curve

You could consider the Filco MiniLa Air
