keyswitches.pretty VS qmk_configurator

Search github for the right footprint libraries, if you are using KiCAD here are the footprints I use for Kailh Choc style switches: https://github.com/daprice/keyswitches.pretty

I guess the term you are looking for is footprint. That refers to the features which allow for your part to correctly connect to your PCB. There is this repository for a broad selection of switches https://github.com/daprice/keyswitches.pretty I'm not 100% where I got the spacing between keys from, but just use one of the many open source keyboard projects as a reference. Or if you already have the key caps and switch on hand, measure their dimensions.

Does anybody know of any kicad projects on Github using https://github.com/daprice/keyswitches.pretty, preferably the choc hot swap footprint ("Kailh_socket_PG1350")? I'm getting close to ordering my (first) PCB and the previous (non hotswap footprints I was using had the pins numbered the opposite way ([1 2] rather than [2 1]) which has thrown me a little since this is my first project so just want to sense check my matrix against one using the same footprint.

I think it was this one: https://github.com/daprice/keyswitches.pretty, I went with Kailh_socket_PG1350 and it fits perfectly.

I use these https://github.com/daprice/keyswitches.pretty

I can't find a footprint comparison right now for Gateron low profile switches, but it appears BM40 kb's are Cherry MX compatible, so as long as it has the same footprint as MX, it fits. If you have time and tools, check this Github repository, it might have the switch's footprint you're looking for !

I found this library, the Kailh_socket_MX_optional_reversible footprint seems to be what I want, but it says it doesn't support PCB mounting, which I'm not sure what it means.

Handedness? Not sure what do you mean by that. I'm using the config.qmk.fm website for the key configuration

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?

How can I use https://config.qmk.fm/ to map certain specific keys such as € or @, that are not direct or available in the framework ?

"documentation": "\"This file is a QMK Configurator export. You can import this at . It can also be used directly with QMK's source code.\n\nTo setup your QMK environment check out the tutorial: \n\nYou can convert this file to a keymap.c using this command: `qmk json2c {keymap}`\n\nYou can compile this keymap using this command: `qmk compile {keymap}`\"\n",

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

I'd recommend you jump on QMK configurator, select the Charybdis of desired size, and start making your layers 😉

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.

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!

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.
