Why does making a custom lighting profile with QMK have to be so hard ;-;
I just want my keyboard to light up like the trans pride flag and I've been pouring over documentation for hours with plenty of trial and error and I'm so close, I can smell it, but I don't know what else I can even do to my code and my brain hurts now. Why can't I have a funny little GUI in VIA that lets me fool around with lights?
damn I should really learn zephyr RTOS, I've been using esp32's so much that I just use their freertos for everything. maybe for the quadcopter project. It seems very sensible.
Looking for a compact mechanical keyboard that’s sleek, sturdy, and feature-loaded? The Epomaker TH96 is a powerful keyboard packed with functionality in a premium design. Thanks to the special structural design, the TH96 feels completely solid due to the stainless steel plate, which adds weight and strength to the board. It is innovatively designed featuring the silicone gasket mount structure, added silicone sound-absorbing foam, poron foam utilization, and a thick silicone damping bottom pad which all provide a responsive and peaceful typing sound.

if you're the type of person who turns caps lock on and off for single letter capitalization - enable sticky keys, but consciously. most people are only familiar with it due to triggering it on accident but it will make the modifier keys (ctrl/alt/winkey/shift) act like the 'shift' on a phone keyboard where you just have to press it and it'll be applied to your next keypress
I designed two original keyboards, the Peridot and Titan. I wrote a bit about the experience here. It was interesting, fun, and occasionally frustrating, and I have entirely too many ideas for more keyboard designs.
would it be possible to make a custom keyboard that has keys specifically designated for emojis? like i want to be able to just press on 💀 with a keyboard
Yeah. Logitech even made one! The Logitech Pop.
But generally any keyboard running a QMK or related firmware (so nearly all mechanical keyboards) can do this.
You can also just install WinCompose and set up a key combination to let you type whatever. I use caps lock for mine, like caps lock a " writes out ä. You could tell it to make caps lock+s to write 💀
random thing i'm annoyed about: companies that don't provide the keymap.c file so i can compile my own fucking firmware for the keyboard i bought and now own using qmk. just let me fuck with it!!!!!!!!!!
my m95 has a botched firmware upgrade, isn't supported by openrgb or any of the open control softwares, got its textured side worn almost-smooth within the first 2-3 months (teen synthia had acidic sweat and rinsed minecraft and skyrim hard for years), and is a little beaten up but still functions perfectly fine.
idk when she'll break but she's been EOL for >5 years and wasn't particularly popular so i doubt i'd find a replacement. nothing else really tickles my fancy either.
if i had a backup i'd try mod it to support QMK or something
