tkk

This is 'tkk', a ten key split keyboard wired as a single "row," ten "column" diode-less numpad. I've been dreaming of my own ten key layout since before discovering ASETIOP, and gboard's Ginny ... but I'm too new to QMK and too rusty with C to figure out how to modify the Ginny's layout / chording engine. So here we are. The tkk layout is built around a vaguely DVORAK-ish letter layout (with some adjustments meant to aid memorization), with "modules" for numbers, movement, modifiers, and even mouse keys.

• Keyboard Maintainer: Joe Fass
• Hardware Supported: hand-wired, ten switch diode-less keyboard, using a Teensy 2.0
• Hardware Availability: (forget where I bought the parts, but easy to find)

Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):

make handwired/tkk:default

Or:

qmk compile -kb handwired/tkk -km default

In my build environment (Ubuntu), I needed to unset quite a few environment variables like CONDA_BACKUP_LDFLAGS that contained hardware options qmk didn't like, before this succeeded.

Flashing example for this keyboard:

make handwired/tkk:default:flash

Bootloader

Enter the bootloader in 3 ways:

• Bootmagic reset: Hold down the key at (0,0) in the matrix (usually the top left key or Escape) and plug in the keyboard
• Physical reset button: Briefly press the button on the back of the PCB - some may have pads you must short instead
• Keycode in layout: Press the key mapped to RESET if it is available
