Sun Keyboard Driver Windows 7
Just thought I`d post this in case anyone else is having this problem. I just got a HHKB Pro JP today and had a devil of a time setting up the keyboard to use the Japanese layout that is printed on the keys - which was annoying when I couldn't find little things like the pipe key. Just installing the Japanese keyboard input was not sufficient - the bindings were still standard US 101. After some trials and tribulations, I figured out the solution by piecing together various posts and some trial and error.
Home > Sun System Parts > Keyboards, Mice and Pads > Sun USB Keyboards > Sun Type-7 Keyboard, 2M Cable, USB, US/PC, RoHS (p/n 320-1366-YLW) Description This 320-1366-YLW is a Refurbishedd Sun / Oracle original part. However, given your stated purpose, the answer is easy: buy one of the new (type 7) USB. I remember seeing a keyboard driver for Sun. Sun keyboard to USB converter. Acts like a Type 6 USB keyboard.but the Sun specific keys can be remapped for use in Windows. Keyboard layout can be changed. Sun Microsystems Type 6 Keyboard.
First install the Japanese keyboard (not IME) using the regional settings. Igri dlya ritmix rzx 50 plus. Then go to Devices and Printers - not Device Manager - and right click on the HHKB entry and select Keyboard Settings.
From here, select the Hardware tab. Highlight the Standard PS/2 entry and click Properties. In the General tab, click Change Settings.
In the window that opens, choose the Driver tab. Hit Update Driver and in the wizard dialog that comes up, choose Browse my computer for driver software. [EDIT: As per below, faster solution: Go to Device Manager, Select Keyboards, Select the Standard PS/2 device and continue as above.] In the next window, hit Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
Now uncheck the Show compatible hardware. On the left side of the next window, choose (Standard keyboards) - which should be the default focus. On the right side scroll up to Japanese PS/2 keyboard (106/109 Key Ctrl + Eisuu), click that entry and then Next. Click Yes on the Update Driver Warning dialog. You will then be prompted to reboot. It`s probably not strictly needed, but do so anyway. When Windows restarts, use Alt+Shift to switch to JP input.
The HHKB should now function as the key labels indicate. Sorry if this was common knowledge, but I googled quite a bit for this and I still needed to figure this out on my own. Hope this helps someone as many posts here have helped me over the years.
