AltLeft / MetaLeft inverted

On my Code V2B I have the problem that the AltLeft and MetaLeft keys are recognised as AltRight and MetaRight. The keyboard is connected to an M1 Macbook Air.

For example, if I go to https://w3c.github.io/uievents/tools/key-event-viewer.html and I press the left Meta it shows up as MetaRight (keyCode=93). When I press the right Meta it shows up as MetaLeft (keycode=91). Same for the Alt key. Others such as Ctrl or Shift are fine.

The only dip switch that is turned on is SW6 (so I'm not using the native Mac Mode).

Also when using the Macbook keyboard the keys show up correctly.

This is especially annoying in the terminal where I use iTerm2 and have the left Option (Alt) key configured as Esc+.

Grateful for any ideas on how to solve this problem.

  I understand your concern with the AltLeft and MetaLeft keys being recognized incorrectly on your Code V2B keyboard when connected to an M1 MacBook Air. It seems like a specific configuration issue.

  Firstly, you may want to check if there are any firmware updates available for your Code V2B keyboard. Manufacturers often release updates to address compatibility issues and improve performance.

  If the issue persists after ensuring the firmware is up-to-date, you could try the following steps:

  1. Reconfigure DIP Switches: Double-check the DIP switch settings on your Code V2B. Ensure that no switches are inadvertently set in a way that might cause this behavior. If necessary, you can refer to the keyboard's manual for guidance on the correct DIP switch settings for your desired configuration.

  2. Reset Keyboard Settings: Some keyboards allow you to reset their settings to default. Check if your Code V2B has such an option. If so, try resetting the keyboard to its default settings and then reconfigure it.

  3. Contact Manufacturer Support: If the issue persists and you've exhausted troubleshooting options, it may be helpful to reach out to the manufacturer's customer support. They might have specific insights or solutions for compatibility issues with M1 Mac systems.

  4. Community Forums: Check if there are any user forums or communities related to your keyboard model. Other users may have faced similar issues and could provide guidance or solutions based on their experiences.

  Remember to back up any custom configurations you have on your keyboard before performing any resets. I hope one of these suggestions helps you resolve the AltLeft and MetaLeft key recognition problem on your Code V2B keyboard.
