Hello all.

I was recently gifted a steelSeries 6Gv2 keyboard. I have looked for a good mechanical keyboard for a long while, and I love this. Except for one thing.

It's extend "L" shaped Enter key drops the \ key down to the zxc row. It shortens the right shift key to fit the \ key in. The order is /\(shift). I find this a bit annoying, as when I want to type a question mark, on my previous mac board I had trained myself to hit shift with my right pinkie and trail down the pinkie with my ring finger. On this board, I get a vertical bar (|) instead. This is slightly annoying.

What I would like to do is make my keys go \/(shift).

I have no idea how to do this in Mac OS X. Any suggestions?

Use Ukelele to create your own custom layout. You can start off with the regular English one and then just edit the two keys you need. Put the layout file in the right folder, log out and back in, and it should appear in your keyboard layouts menu.

(I’ve been using my own custom keyboard layout for years—it always bugged me that typographical quotes were such a pain to type on a regular Danish keyboard, so now they each have a dedicated key; plus, I can easily type ṫẖỉǹģŝ łɪǩę ṯḣĭṣ, as well)
