Re: [WTB] G80-11900 cable
USB or dual PS/2? I think I have a dual PS/2 cable (I have a G80-11900 and a replacement PCB so I don't need the original cable). I also have a USB G81-1900 which might have a compatible cable. I'm not sure cause the connector was cut off, but I would guess dual PS/2 because it terminated in two se...

Re: Great/Interesting Finds
FLS is overrated as fuck, [...] the switches aren't even that good and have a weird force curve and weighting. Mind you, there were three generations of them. The Wiki lists all three as "very smooth" which is not true . Yeah they aren't any smoother than any other decent linear, and they are as se...

[WTB] G80-11900 cable
Need a G80-11900 cable. Black preferred (don't remember if there are other colours or not). Not looking to buy one outside of NA (Canada preferred) unless you can ship for cheap. Thanks.

Re: How to improve MX Blacks?
Too much work to make them worth using. Spring swap at minimum, very likely lube, probably film while you have them taken apart. If they're muh muh vint blacks I'd just sell them to some dumbass on Reddit. Box Navy is awesome, I've heard good things about Jade but never used them. If you want a good...

QMK, if there was such a thing as Deskthority Gold, I'd send some your way. Question that's probably an obvious answer, but I want to make sure, anyway: a VirtualBox Linux VM is OK to use, right?

Re: Handwired + Teensy + QMK = Confused
Good news: your PCB is quite easily traceable and has 8x15 matrix with diodes (ROW2COL direction in terms of QMK). Bad news: you need 15+8=23 IO pins to drive it. Pro Micro has only 18 and Teensy 2.0 has 21 (AFAIR). The good choise for this project would be WeAct STM32F401. It's supported by QMK, h...

Teensy 2.0. 32u4-based so it'll be super easy to get QMK on it, and it has all the IO you need. It's o...

Re: Handwired + Teensy + QMK = Confused
That is almost the perfect board for replacing the controller in given it is mostly single sided and also has diodes so you will not have the keypress limit and also should have a fairly logical order. What i find helpful is to draw the layout of the board itself and the connections to the old cont...

OK. Here's a continuity map. All those black circles and ovals are feeding off that first pin on the controller marked in blue.

Re: Handwired + Teensy + QMK = Confused
Oh this is a really easy one. Rows are red, columns are blue. Remove all components on the board except for jumpers and diodes and then solder your Teensy in so that all the rows and columns go to io pins (making sure you note which row/column goes to which io pin). You will also have to map matrix ...

Re: Handwired + Teensy + QMK = Confused
I will give more info tomorrow but you'd likely end up using 20-25 IO pins as the 40 on the main controller are not all used. Only a few will be for IO. But you've mapped those two columns correctly. I can suggest some faster methods tomorrow morning. I could also help with QMK once you're at that s...
