I was in the market for a new keyboard, so I found bought a used Lycosa for $30. I did my research and was aware of all the problems associated with it, however my keyboard worked perfectly. One thing about the keyboard bothered me though, and that was the lack of a mute button. This was a major con for many users and people considering the keyboard. I am so used to having a mute button that it became an annoyance, and so I sought a way to bind it onto the Lycosa.
In the Lycosa configurator, there is no option to bind a mute button onto any of the keys. However, if you have another keyboard with a mute button, it's very easy to do. So here is how to do it.
1. Take out an older keyboard that had a mute button and plug it in. I'm not sure if it works using a ps/2 keyboard, but it worked with a second usb keyboard on Win7 64. In my case I used my old Zboard.
2. Open up the Lycosa configurator. You should have the latest drivers but it may also work on older versions.
3. Press a key you'd like to bind your key to. I used the "Pause Break" key since I've never used it and a quick google search shows that it is near useless for me. Plus it was right next to the touch panel so that was a plus.
4. After choosing a key, go down to the Macro Key Fuction, and hit the Mute button on your older/second keyboard. This should still register as mute even in the configurator. This is how the config looks like for me below:
I knew a lot of people were turned off by the fact that there was no mute button. I hope this helps any one who want a mute button on their Lycosa, because I was so fed up I contemplated about selling the keyboard just because of the lack of a mute button.
