Hi guys,
Well i was able to snatch an original WANG keyboard as sort of a ode to my former employer.
The fun thing about the board is the fact that it has 32 f keys.
And no windows key(very kwl for half-life)
a numpad and a seperate arrow keys pad with a couple dosfuntions like exec and GL.
It has 4 ways to type delete/end pgup/pgdwn/ins etc. unfortunatly i wasn't able to find the drivers.
model no. 724 5vdc/0.1A
The board is plug and play on ps2 but the extra keys aren't recognised.
Is there a way for a newbie like me to make drivers for this bad a$$ piece 'o' hardware?
I know this is a longshot but any idea on how to use this would be great.

thnx BambiX

There should be a keyboard module in your Window's control panel. You should be able to configure it there if that is what you're looking for.

Only very few apps would benefit from the 32 F keys ... not even sure if a driver is available for this dinosaur. A little problem with the Wang keyboard is that there are no indentation on the F and J keys to mark where the fingers should go.
Sorry if this is not much help but I am curious to know which app would use the extra keys.

Well archie, I'm a gamer
and i use a lot of binds in my favorite game, Half-Life
Having 32 f keys would make a lot of things easier.
But the main idea is to bind radio commands to the keys, but before i can do this i need windows to support those buttons.
What i'm looking for is somekind of tool that will let me config my own keys in windows.
any ideas?
I know it's a dinosaur but hey who doesn't like dinosaurs?
