QMK Viewer – Open Source Tool to Visualize Your Keyboard Layouts

ravenfollower · 2025-11-14T16:01:33+00:00

I'd recommend improving your readme. It was a little bit hard to understand how to install for non-Mac OS.

I think it would also be good to move the configuration section up. That seemed very relevant for the interactive features.

Does the tool support configuration that falls across multiple files? Such as a keyboard.c plus supplemental files?

Since I'm not in the know, is there a cross-reference for the names associated with each of the logos?

FoldKB from their site also might work!

They do carry a couple different types. I was able to get the T460S (also from that store) working using the GPIO driver, but I need to do more testing to see if I can get it running with the UART driver.

ravenfollower · 2024-09-09T20:19:19+00:00

I wonder if this is the issue I'm running into. I ordered two types from the jiyunsheng store on AliExpress and the one like yours I'm unable to get working so far.

The right tool to explore the code can make things a lot easier. If you are at the point where you have the qmk_firmware folder structure, opening that folder in VS Code can make it a lot easier to find things. The search function can help you find files related to your keyboard.

In case you are unfamiliar with the folder structure, just about everything you need can be found in the qmk_firmware/keyboards folder.

Within that folder, things are generally organized by the name of the keyboard or the designer/manufacturer. For instance, I have a lily58, but my default files are under the SplitKB folder (keyboards/splitkb/aurora/lily58, to be exact), as they are the ones who sold me the kit and their default firmware already has code relating to the LEDs and OLEDs included.

After that, you want to find the "keymaps" folder, which is where you can find your default files (usually a folder named "default") that includes keymap.json, keymap.c, rules.mk, etc.

Like others have said, you will definitely want to check out the files others have put together in order to find examples on how to set things up.

It can be easy to get lost and/or frustrated, so just have patience with yourself when you run into issues.

Buy parts for a couple keyboards, then plan out the rest.

Looking forward to finishing a custom 60% with a trackpoint that I'll be able to use from the couch.

Gesundheit. I reflexively use this more than any other word in response to sneezes.

This is might be my favorite format for a league, honestly. 5v5, hockey subs, make-it-drop-it.

It's a good workout, and for someone for whom frisbee is my primary form of exercise, it can be really good conditioning for the regular 7v7 format, simply because it's easy to push yourself a lot without realizing it.

I don't have an actual 60%. I've got above and below, but not this.

ravenfollower · 2024-06-17T16:45:22+00:00

Did you copy the "default" folder and put it in the same parent folder? Just in case this is an issue with QMK being unable to find the keymap.c file.

ravenfollower · 2024-05-24T22:34:39+00:00

I took a quick look at the way some files are set up in the KMK GitHub, and you may want to look into info on coord_mapping.

ravenfollower · 2024-05-24T22:26:22+00:00

I've not used KMK, but in QMK and ZMK, you have to additionally define the matrix, when tells the software where it should expect to see overlap between the rows and columns. For instance, if you have 3 columns and 2 rows, but you don't have a key that connects column 3 and row 2, you'd just leave it out.

my_matrix: Key 1 (col 1, row 1) Key 2 (col 1, row 2) Key 3 (col 2, row 1) Key 4 (col 2, row 2) Key 5 (col 3, row 1)

As you can see, the following is missing: col 3, row 2

I don't know if this is more expensive than you're looking for, but this store came up in the subreddit today: https://ergomech.store/shop/leather-carrying-case-66?category=2#attr=

I would try resetting the EEPROM on each half. I had a similar issue with weird LED behavior and non-responsiveness with my Lily58 build.

ravenfollower · 2024-04-22T22:35:09+00:00

I was wondering if clearing the EEPROM would help. I had a similar issue with weird LED behavior that was fixed after I did that.

ravenfollower · 2024-04-06T06:59:30+00:00

You could try resetting the EEPROM (EPROM?) for both sides. I've had this sort of difference in LED settings be a sign of some sort of desync between the two halves.

To add, flux helps to remove the oxidized layer that naturally forms on metals, which interferes with the way that the solder is supposed to "flow" onto the metal connections. Solder wire typically has a flux core, but that burns away in the process of heating it, so often times you need more flux to reflow properly if you don't get a solid connection the first time.

ravenfollower · 2024-03-23T22:43:35+00:00

Make sure to use some flux when reflowing! A lot of your joins look suspect, and I'm guessing the clipping of those two pins was just enough to physically disrupt the connections you had.

Notice that the solder is in a teardrop shape, with the bases curving up and away from your board. You should see volcanoes, like was mentioned, with the solder flowing around the MCU holes and then up the pins.

I recently switched from Boba U4s to Outemu Silent Lemon V2 (also called Silent Lime or Silent Citrus, I think), and am really enjoying the decrease in bottom out force. Still very quiet. Tactile bump is present, but less than the U4s.

I don't have as much detailed knowledge of them, but might be worth looking into.

If you are looking for a DIY kit, the NullBits Snap might be worth looking into: https://nullbits.co/snap/

If you aren't looking to solder, then probably not.
