Billiam's DZ60 60_2 layout (KBDFANS Layout 2 with split backspace and split right shift)

This layout is optimized for MacOS and is for a Build 2 DZ60 with a 2U left shift, 1.75U right shift and no arrow cluster. Don't use this layout if you didn't get Build 2, you will enter a world of pain Donny.

Settings:

  • The CAPS LOCK key is a function key.
  • The ALT and CMD keys are swapped to replicate the Mac layout.
  • RESET is available as Fn+ ESC
  • Underglow toggle is available as Fn + Q. Yes your keyboard has lights even if you didn't get the LEDs. Bonus!
  • vim-style arrow key bindings H J K L in layer 1

Initial Installation

I found the instructions to be longer than they had to be, and I ended up having to Google some steps anyway. These are the steps I took to get my keyboard setup, in case you are new to the process.

  1. Clone the qmk_firmware repo locally
# Choose one:
git clone git@github.com:qmk/qmk_firmware.git # OR
git clone https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware.git

  1. Customize your layout by starting with a keymap. I copied StephenGrier's and modified it for DZ60 Build 4 and changed a few things, like the grave key, ESC and /.

  2. Build your hex file

make dz60:billiams_layout2 # be in the qmk_firmware directory to do this

A hex file dz60_billiams_layout2.hex will be created in the base qmk_firmware directory

  1. Before plugging in your keyboard into your computer, hold SPACE and B keys down
  2. Holding those keys down, plug the keyboard into your computer, which will put the keyboard in bootlegger mode
  3. If you are using QMK toolbox, upload the .hex file you made above, select it and hit the flash button. For the love of all that is good and holy on Earth, don't hit the load button, that will load the default keymap and that's not what you want! Unless it is, in which case click away.

Note: If you didn't follow my instructions in 4 and accidentally loaded the default keymap, then to RESET the keyboard and kick it into bootleg mode again, hold the down arrow key and \. The default layout is Build 1 and sets the MENU key on that build to Fn. MENU corresponds to down arrow in build 4. Note that you don't have to unplug the keyboard.

Hope this helps!
