Sun Keyboard Driver Windows 7
- 19 Comments!
I would like to know how I can install the drivers for a generic USB keyboard in Windows 7 Pro 64 SP1. I know this is possible because, for my desktop computer, my keyboard worked out of the box. But when I plug the same keyboard into my laptop, it doesn't work. The keyboard is a Sun type 7 keyboard with a Microsoft mouse plugged in.
Geom graphic bold font. When I'm running Windows on my desktop computer (Lenovo M???), I see a 'Sun USB Keyboard' in my device list. When I look at the hardware and driver details, I see this: • Generic USB Hub: usbhub.sys • HID Keyboard Device: kbdclass.sys, kbdhid.sys • USB Input Device: hidclass.sys, hidparse.sys, hidusb.sys When I plug the same keyboard and mouse combo in my laptop (Dell E7440) running the very same version of Windows 7, it tells me it is an 'Unknown Device' for which it is unable to find drivers, even though I can see the six.sys files mentioned above under C: Windows system32 drivers.
Questions for anyone who has used Sun Type 7 keyboards [closed] Ask Question 1. So I noticed that Oracle is still selling Sun Type 7 keyboard and mouse packages. I was thinking of buying one for a Linux box at my house so I had easy access to some of the extra keys such as Compose and Alt-GR. I have some questions though before I do for anyone.
I've tried plugging in the keyboard without the mouse and got the same result. (The mouse alone obviously works without problems.) If that helps, my Sun keyboard works flawlessly in the BIOS.
The converter built as a PIC18F4550 based prototype setup. After hearing positive things about Sun's old keyboards, and the Type 5 in particular, I decided to try and hook it up to a PC.
Linux supports them via the serial port and there's a hard to build PS/2 and a half finished USB converter out there; for all compatibility, features and fun I decided to build my own USB converter. The converter should work with Type 4 keyboards too.
The converter offers the following features: • Sun keyboard works as a standard USB (HID) keyboard. • Keyboard is supported in the BIOS and DOS. • Acts like a Type 6 USB keyboard.
•.but the Sun specific keys can be remapped for use in Windows. • Keyboard layout can be changed: caps lock/control and escape/tilde can be switched so both PC and Unix style Type 5 keyboards can be set to your preferred layout. • Modifier keys such as alt, meta and compose can be individually switched to their PC keyboard counterparts (ie meta becomes alt). • Keyboard's power key can wake up PC over USB. Unfortunately the converter has one big disadvantage: the volume and power keys aren't directly recognized as such (this would require implementing a composite USB device).

Unix should be able to map commands to their keycodes though, and when put into their secondary mode they do send codes that Windows recognizes. An application such as can then be used to assign functions to them. See below for more information.
