  • qmk_firmware

    Open-source keyboard firmware for Atmel AVR and Arm USB families (by Keychron)

    Firmware: To avoid making everything from scratch, you will need to grab a firmware that has everything in it. In this case we will need the Q1, so Right Click on that folder, Copy link address and then paste it here and download, we will need this directory later on.

  • qmk_distro_msys

    A Windows one-click installer for the QMK CLI

    QMK MSYS: In order for you to customize your keyboard, you need to compile your own firmware (don't worry, we will not make a firmware from scratch).

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • Atom

    Discontinued :atom: The hackable text editor

    Text Editor: You will need this to easily edit the files. You can use any text editor you want, I'm using Atom out of preference.

  • qmk_toolbox

    A Toolbox companion for QMK Firmware

    QMK Toolbox: This is the last step, you will need it to flash the firmware into your keyboard.
