68keys

A 68-key keyboard with per-key RGB, Kailh hotswap sockets, and USB-C. Uses Blue Pill.

History

This keyboard was inspired by the 68keys.io keyboard. The 68keys keyboard has a similar layout to the MagicForce 68. di0ib did a replacement PCB for the Magicforce 68.

I love the Magicforce 68, but wanted a few changes. As a colossally disproportionate response to this challenge, I created a utility that generates PCBs from arbitrary KLE JSON files, and used it to create this keyboard.

A note about backlighting

I wanted my per-key RGB keyboard to have a dim backlight on all keys, but didn't want to sacrifice cool RGB matrix effects to have it. So I wrote up a QMK patch that treats RGB(0, 0, 0) as eligible for backlighting. Unfortunately the QMK maintainers weren't interested (actually, now that I look back, I didn't submit a pull request, but rather discussed it in a chat room), so it's not upstreamed. Thus you'll have to add that patch (and this) to your copy of QMK and then enable it in config.h and rules.mk.
