I’ll update when I can check if mapping Alt to the Q0 works, but I don’t have any reason to suspect that it wouldn’t yet. Type the code of the symbol you want in the numpad (the numbers on the top will not work) For a list of some Alt key codes go. Hopefully this post helps anyone with similar concerns. Definitely is not a problem with either the K2 or Q0. It seems to me like this is a weird Windows quirk. Q0 numpad, laptop numpad, laptop number row, K2 number row, numpad/normal inputs mapped to mouseĪs a result, it seems like mixing Alt + inputs from different devices does not work, but regular inputs do. If I map a numpad input to my mouse or the laptops built-in numpad, nothing happens again.Īlt key on K2, Alt key on laptop built-in keyboard But Alt on the K2 + inputs from other devices seems to work fine… for most inputs. I thought that maybe holding Alt on the K2 was making it wait for inputs from the K2, and ignoring other devices. I’m guessing that’ll probably be my solution going forward. I’ll also try mapping Alt to a Q0 button and see if that works. When I get home, I’ll test this on my personal machine.

I can get it to work by activating the on-screen keyboard and holding down Alt in that, then giving Q0 inputs. Which I’m happy to find, as I’ve had this be an issue with other products. It properly corresponds to “Numpad 1”, for example. I checked for this by using the Q0 to create a shortcut in a program. Usually, I’ve found the cause of this with external numpads to come from the keys registering as generic number inputs, instead of numpad-specific inputs.

doesn’t activate the “turn on Autosave” shortcut in Excel). It also does not act as Alt + 1 would (e.g. It does not produce the numbers themselves. I’ll detail what I’ve tried so far below.įor reference, I’m holding the alt key (either side) on my K2, then pressing the number sequence on the Q0. I wanted to see if anyone else has had a similar experience yet or figured out a solution. One issue I’ve run into with my workflow is that I can’t seem to get Windows 10 Alt Codes to work (e.g. My Q0 just arrived and I’m loving it so far.
