𝑥MK: Use programmable keyboard firmware with any keyboard.

• xmk

  13 123 1.5 Python

  Use programmable keyboard firmware with any keyboard.

Yeah I'm not sure what it'll end up being useful for, if anything! Maybe something I haven't considered yet... You can use it like KMonad but with extra steps. You can also use it for testing timing issues. Soon I'll be adding an extra utility to combine multiple keyboards into a single device, so then you could e.g. use a pair of numpads or your laptop keyboard plus a regular keyboard as a split.

• qmk_firmware

  1,587 17,033 10.0 C

  Open-source keyboard firmware for Atmel AVR and Arm USB families

  

For native you'd need an internal mod. But just to use Dvorak you could use 𝑥MK, KMonad, or a QMK USB to USB converter. See the Related Projects section for the differences.

• InfluxDB

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• kmonad

  199 3,512 7.6 Haskell

  An advanced keyboard manager

  

For those looking for alternative solutions, check out kmonad

• keymap-editor

  15 832 5.2 JavaScript

  A web based graphical editor of ZMK keymaps.

I think the closest thing at the moment is https://github.com/nickcoutsos/keymap-editor.

• keyd

  136 2,272 7.9 C

  A key remapping daemon for linux.

Another alternative is keyd that can run either on host machine or on SBC connected to host machine in USB gadget mode.

• nanoCH32V203

  8 50 10.0

Speaking of hardware there is very nice $3 RISC-V board that would fit well USB to USB converter use case. No keyboard firmware is ported to it yet.

• kanata

  62 1,159 9.5 Rust

  Improve keyboard comfort and usability with advanced customization

There are many other software tools such as https://github.com/jtroo/kanata and https://github.com/KarsMulder/evsieve. The main difference with 𝑥MK is that you can use native QMK and ZMK.

• WorkOS

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• evsieve

  17 190 8.2 Rust

  A utility for mapping events from Linux event devices.

There are many other software tools such as https://github.com/jtroo/kanata and https://github.com/KarsMulder/evsieve. The main difference with 𝑥MK is that you can use native QMK and ZMK.

• qmk_kernel_module

  3 45 10.0 C

  Discontinued An experiment with a Raspberry Pi running QMK

  

With QMK Kernel Module one could skip MCU altogether and just use one Linux SBC. But sadly that module is not maintained.

• qmk_firmware

  71 279 0.0 C

  See the "forkreadme" branch or the following link for a description of branches maintained in this fork. (by manna-harbour)

I have a separate system for that as part of this old unreleased project. They're orthogonal so could be used together, but it'd be nicer if they were integrated. If you just want to remap buttons or map buttons to keys you can do that in the OS.
