    Handedness? Not sure what do you mean by that. I'm using the config.qmk.fm website for the key configuration
  • mouse controls on qmk
    1 project | /r/ErgoMechKeyboards | 3 May 2023
    I'm using https://config.qmk.fm/ to create a firmware for Iris rev.7 including mouse keys, and then use QMK toolbox on MacOs to flash the firmware, but while everything else works in all layers, the mouse keys do not move the cursor at all. Any ideas?

  • Confused about qmk flashing layouts to crkbd
    3 projects | /r/ErgoMechKeyboards | 24 Mar 2023
    I didn't want to really start another thread because the question I have is so similar I think. I was somehow able to use config.qmk.fm to map a really generic colemak-dh keymap, I read the qmk noob section so I looked up how to use github/git completely lost, I have the Corne 3x6 I didn't build it I purchased it secondhand so Ive been doing some research on ergonomic mapping Miryoku generally seems to be a solid choice
  • charybdis prebuild or moonlander?
    1 project | /r/ErgoMechKeyboards | 18 Mar 2023
    I'd recommend you jump on QMK configurator, select the Charybdis of desired size, and start making your layers 😉
  • DZ60 Keyboard not Working After Flashing
    1 project | /r/olkb | 6 Mar 2023
    My keyboard was working fine prior to flashing. I have a solderable dz60 (ATMEGA32U4). I tried to flash it with firmware downloaded from config.qmk.fm (selected dz60 as keyboard). It said successful on qmk toolbox, but my caps lock light is stuck on and no button presses work. The esc + plugin option to reset stopped working, so I had to take the pcb out to press the reset button. Still not working after flashing with default firmware downloaded from config.qmk.fm. I tried flashing it with dz60 via firmware, and it gets recognized in via now, but still not working. After hours of troubleshooting of it not working, I flashed it with dz60rgb_v2 just to see what happens, and then very few of the keys work after a few presses (but they're mismapped), and the caps lock light goes off. I've tried the keyboard on different devices, and on both of them it gets recognized as a keyboard, but the caps lock light is still stuck on and no presses register.
  • Dactyl Manuform with Amoeba King PCBs -- Keypresses not detected
    4 projects | /r/ErgoMechKeyboards | 20 Feb 2023
    Let's suppose that the issue is the diode orientation. I'm a total QMK newbie -- how could I swap between ROW2COL and COL2ROW at the firmware level? On the QMK Github I see instructions for modifying the appropriate headers. But when I generate my config from config.qmk.fm I only get a single .hex file. Thanks again!
  • Can Corne keymap be converted for use with Piantor keyboard?

    Probably the easiest way to do it by clicking buttons is to use config.qmk.fm.

    For non-ez keyboards, a similar tool is the QMK Configurator. See this documentation page or the video tutorial for an overview.
