Karabiner-elements: For HHKB Professional JP keyboard, "right-cmd" and "lang" keys are not detected

Created on 1 Feb 2017  ·  8Comments  ·  Source: pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements

I'm using HHKB Professional JP keyboard, but "right_command" and "lang1"&"lang2"(英数&かな) keys are not detected in Karabiner-EventViewer while the other keys are recognized well.

If I removed the check of "HHKB Professional JP" in [Devices]-[Modify events from this device] table, these events are detected by the event viewer. However, if I removed that check, key modifier does not work.

  • OS Locale: English
  • Mac Pro (Mid 2012)
  • keyboard: HHKB Professional JP

    • Latest driver for HHKB provided by PFU is installed.

HHKB Pro JP without PFU driver works fine on my machine.
The PFU driver might be conflicted with Karabiner-Elements.

I uninstalled the PFU driver, but I still find the same problem.
Do you have an idea on possible causes that I can test?

Did you change the DIP switches?
Please try to reset the DIP switches.

Macintosh mode (SW1) and swapping left alt and command (SW5) are on.
Although I turned off these two and restarted my computer, things didn't change. Event-Viewer does not show any responses against "right_command", "lang1", and "lang2".

@hioki-daichi Thanks! I'll try your proposal maybe during next week.

@hioki-daichi Following your advice, I could remap the keys as I intended.
After I reinstalled PFU devices, I remapped the keys as following. Thanks!
