I have two Windows 10 laptops and one ErgoDox keyboard. After designing a custom key layout in the Massdrop ErgoDox Layout configurator, the same key(s) have different results on both computers.
When connected to a Lenovo T450, pressing a key produces an "equals" character ("="), as configured in the configurator. However, when connected to a Surface Pro 4, the same key produces a "close square bracket" symbol ("]"). Pressing the key configured for "close square bracket" produces an "equals" sign. They're switched.
This only happens with a few symbols, not letters, or numbers. Similarly mixed up symbols include dash, slash, backslash, tilde, question mark, and a few others.
It seems to be related to my default keyboard layout in Windows 10 (US Dvorak, and ErgoDox configured with a corresponding Dvorak layout). Does anyone have any idea of what might be going on? It's just a bit strange that the keyboard reacts different when on different systems. Both systems are configured with UK English as the input language with US Dvorak as the keyboard layout.
