Filco MiniLa swap Alt and Win key. Teensy my best bet? Custom controller?

[alfa147x]

I have a Filco MiniLa on the way and I would like to swap the Alt and Win keys. I would just remap them using an application but I don't have admin permissions on some machines that it will be used with. Also eventually I would like to further customize the layout.

I wonder if I could somehow rewire it to work with the Filco tenkeyless custom ATmega32u4 controller?

Here is what the board on the Filco MiniLa looks like:



I'm hoping if this works out I could make a similar plug in play board like the Filco tenkeyless custom ATmega32u4 controller.

Any ideas?

You could short some traces and rewire them but wire alt to win and win to alt. Not that sophisticated but it works.

Yeah I kinda wanted a cleaner job than that Ended up getting a Teensy from a friend and looks like I'll be mapping out the matrix soon.

Flip over the controller for us would you?

I was planning on taking a picture of the other side of the controller when I got the board. It should be delivered today. I just found that image online.

Aha, thanks. If we can see what microcontroller the MiniLA uses, we may have a place to start when seeing if we can use the 32u4.

Yeah. I wish we could make a drop in replacement controller but it doesn't seem like this keyboard is popular enough for a project like that.

Tried to take a panorama to show more detail.
