Drakware Layout App

Select a device and a keyboard key on the left, then click a USB key or special key to assign it.

Keep in mind that while keys are defined in the USB specification, they may not be recognized by your operating system. For example, Keypad = is not recognized in Windows but does work in Mac OS.

Locking keys and other odd keys (Mac and ADB caps lock, ADB power key, PS/2 pause) may not behave as expected.

Download the layout utility here to upload the layout file to your device. The layout file format is new as of 2021-11-10 so you'll need the new utility to upload it. The editor can load your old file and then re-save it as a new one so you can convert it to the new format.

The locking caps lock key only sends key down when locking and key up when unlocking, so it looks like the key is being held down and doesn't trigger caps lock in a modern OS. The full up/down sequence will send both down+up whenever locking or unlocking the key. MacOS thinks this is a mistake if done too quickly and will ignore it, so the first option adds a delay between key down and key up.
The NeXT-style options let you use Command + AlphaLock and Command + Mute.
Set 3 is position-based and may not behave as expected unless using a 101-key Model M keyboard.
