Some infos for the thread since i been playing with this thing.
Programing the Royal Kludge RC930 - 104 / 87
Pick the software specific to your board. http://www.rkgaming.com/downloads.php
So the Board needs to be in write mode for your programing to work. You can program the board and close the software, but the board itself needs to stay in programing mode to use your new programed keys ;p
On the 104 key to enter program mode you press FN + Pause and hold it for about 5 seconds or so and it will toggle into programmable state and your white led by the Rk logo will illuminate. Fear it's incandescence. It's brighter than a 1000 suns.
On the 87 key the programing toggle is a switch on the back of the board and the indicator led is under the esc key.
Some stuff about the software:
When you load the software, first press "ReadAll". This will propagate the display with the commands that your keys are currently programed to.
You basically have two layers, one is single key, the other is your FN layer . Meaning FN+ any other key = your command. You toggle programing of the FN layer by toggling it in the upper right of the software. (LevelUp main layer- LevelDn FN layer) Orange keys mean something has been assigned to that key. White keys are empty functions on that layer.
To change a single keys function:
Note: You enter a keys new function by pressing the actual key that is currently programed with that function. So before you "Overwrite" a keys function, make sure it's function exists elsewhere on any layer first - it can even be on the function layer. In other words you can "lose" a function and it will throw up an error.
To get that lost key function back you will need a secondary hardware keyboard, or probably virtual keyboard will work as well to get it back. I used my ps/2 board and the software accepts it's inputs.
When you have programed all your keys that you want, press "WriteKeys". The software will then write your programed keys to your keyboard memory. You can also save a profile to disk to later upload it with the software. The Board holds only a single profile.
To check that your programing has worked press "Read All" again . This re-reads the keyboards config and if it worked your new programed keys will be revealed. If it didn't work, they will revert to what they were prior.
Other stuff:
Within the software under "Function" - Key Function: You can assign keys to: Set your mouse DPI - if your mouse supports it. :o Scan Delay Regulate - The time delay before a key will repeat itself when held down. Recommend leaving to default. Report Rate Regulate - USB report rate. I recommend leaving this at default.
F9. F9 actually regulates the key press travel distance needed for a key to activate. It's something like between 2mm, to 3mm. It's slight, but for people who bottom out when they type and like having the key actuate more towards the bottom, this does give it more of that type of feel.
Of interesting note, I found that when you re program scoll lock to another function, the white led no longer comes on in a toggle state - i have mine reprogrammed to volume mute. I also have numlock re-programed to calculator and Fn+L for numlock. The white indicator led is not tied to the physical button, but rather to the function. So when i press numlock ( which is actually calculator now) the light does not come on. However when i toggle FN+L for Numlock the light comes on.
If i find anything new wrong or contrary i will update.
