| Did you receive the keyboard? It is built like a tank. I received mine last month and had used their GUI customization app to switch the location of a few keys, but this weekend I cloned their QMK repo, did a branch and created my own layout. I also started to program my macros. I do my own macros for switching Unicode mode (Windows/Linux - I don't use, OSX, but it is possible too), and entering international characters without switching the keyboard layout in the OS or using Mapping or Alternate/Compose key. Actually, my requirement is that my keyboard must work exactly the same in every computer, terminal or VM that I connect to without having to pre-customize the host machine. Typing is responsibility of the keyboard - not the OS. It must be plug and play. I write mostly in English, but also in Spanish. There are characters missing in the regular keyboard that I enter using macros. I did this before with my first QMK enabled keyboard (the Brand New Model F Keyboard, a replica of the IBM Modem F Keyboard). I was using this keyboard for work, but once I got spoiled by the QMK macros I wanted another programmable keyboard for my personal desktop. The Model F keyboard is too big to be carrying around with me. This is why ordered the Launch keyboard. The possibilities are almost limitless once you go down the programming route. However, I noticed that the niceties of this keyboard like the many LED animations are taking almost all the available memory.
My next task will be finding out how to free some of this memory (I don't care for LED animations) and address LEDs directly to use them to get CAPS, NUM and SCROLL lock feedback, as it should be. |
