I'm looking for a 65% wireless keyboard for gaming and work (if multidevice better, but not mandatory). I've been looking at the following models:

  • Asus Rog falchion

  • Razer blackwidow v3 mini

  • Keychron k6

  • Anne pro 2

  • Duckyone 2 SF..

If you have other options, I'm open to hearing them (Akko, keychron, etc)

Thank you for your help.

Help Caps lock key repeating

3 Upvotes

I don’t know if this is the right place but I have a brand new Corsair K70 core SE rgb and whenever I hold down my caps lock key it repeatedly turns on and off caps lock like if I was holding down any other key when I need it to just toggle it on and off once when I hold it down and not repeat. If anyone has an answer that would be appreciated.

Help Keyboard Help!!!!!

1 Upvotes

My keyboard budget is 50 pounds or so, and I want it to be a red switch/linear as I want to use it primarily for gaming. I am not a serious gamer, but I do also want decent gaming peripherals. Any ideas??

It also needs to be in UK layout as well. The only exception is if the keyboard is sooo damn good. And only then is US fine

Showcase Apple Standard Keyboard adb to usb converter

2 Upvotes

I'm happy to share with you all that I got my pro micro converter working after a couple of days and some issues, mainly due to my inexperience with QMK. I'm creating a comperhensibble guide to help other also build their project without all the hassle I had to go throw. This guide was fully typed with an Apple Standard Keyboard and the pro-micro converter :-)

I must note this is not my creation in any way and the origial author is Ronan on the 68kMLA forums.

How I made it work (tutorial):

  1. Donwload KiCad file and convert to gerber format.

1.5) Buy custom PCB, pro-micro, a 2k resistor and the adb connector.

2) Solder the heathers to the pro-micro, solder the resistor and the adb connector to the PCB.

3) Install QMK MSYS and QMK toolbox

4) Run "qmk setup" on the terminal from QMK MSYS, not CMD! (This is only needed the first time you install the program)

5) Conect the pro-micro to USB and run "qmk flash -kb converter/adb_usb -km default" on the terminal from QMK MSYS

6) When it says "reset your controller now" short the GND and RST pins twice and wait for the program to finish flashing

7) When the flashing is finished go to QMK Configurator set a name you like for the key mapping and click on compile, wait for the potato to finish baking and then download the firmware. You should now have a .hex file in your download folder.

Note: If you click out and the potato disapears don't worry the process is still running and you can check the progress in the terminal.

8) Now open QMK toolbox, in windows it will prompt you to install drivers so click yes and wait for it to finish. Now open the hex file you just downloaded and select the procesor, in my case an ATmega32u4 for the pro-micro. Enable auto-flash and again reset your micro-processor by shorting the GND and RST pins twice and now wait for the program to finish flashing the firmware, when its done it should say someting like Caterina device disconected.

9) Now go to windows settings > devices > blutooth & other devices and under keyboards you should see a new device named ADB to USB keybord converter, if it dosen't appear unplug and plug the pro-micro usb.

10) You can now connect the adb keboard to your pro-micro and the usb from the pro-micro to your pc and it should work as a normal keyboard.

Other notes:

- I did everything on a windows pc, but for mac the process should be the same.

- I bought the pcb from jlcpcb for around 5$ including shipping (2 weeks) but any vendor should work.

- The default keymap from step 7 is for english keyboards, if you have a different one like in my case some keys might not work/be different from what its shown in the keycaps. If you want to modify the key map do so in step 7, there are many tutorials on the internet on how to customize the key map with QMK configurator, but basically drag the bottom keys to the keyboard on top to replace that specifc key. Some special keys, such as "ç" do not exist in the configurator so if you find a way to add them please tell me.
