Interesting Finds

Intresting finds (Miscellaneous)

Things I've come across I haven't figured out where they belong yet

• If you're using capslock as ctrl, because of the size of the key and the fact it's un-stablized, it can wear into the anodization on the board. I don't see this as a quality control issue, just something to be aware of. Might be worth putting some vinyl or adhesive backed felt on the board around where the capslock key hits the plate
• You can set what key lights up for capslock or scroll lock via this line . This is useful if you have capslock and l_ctrl swapped and you want l_ctrl to light up when you toggle. The scancode is mapped above this line. You need to know the physical location of the LEDs (id) to use the scancode See LED Map. 255 means "not used". I have not tried to see if this is possible at a keymap level.
• When removing all of the switches from the board, the supplied tool can become hard to use due to fatique. There's a way to wedge it inbetween the jaws of a pair of Tongue-and-groove pliers (you know, the ones that start with "channel" and end in....something or other 😉 ) and that makes re-switching a board much easier. Will get a picture of this sooner than later. I might even see if I can find a 3d printed tool for this.
• Even though the LED's are RGB, there seems to be only a few recognizable colors it can do. I tried making some pale blues, and they just ended up looking white (although switches and keycaps will probably play a huge part in this)
• When using the GUI (or QMK for that matter) make sure that the key you are using to toggle layers MO(1), etc, is marked as trns on the target layer. Without this, you will get "locked" into the target layer and you will get annoyed.
