So what's going on with the CK Southpaws?
Give me a little time and I can mock up an ISO enter with a GMK set on my end.
Did you try this? I'm only getting this for an iso layout. If the enter is misaligned that's a huge bummer. Quote from: reconsiderit on Fri, 31 January 2020, 21:08:49Give me a little time and I can mock up an ISO enter with a GMK set on my end. I'm not sure if it's the "poorer" quality of the Tai Hao keycapset I have at home. Would be nice to know definetly if you could double check it please @reconsiderit. I wrapped my head around a GMK set and don't want to spend (too) much money on a keyset which could not be fitting
It took you longer to get this done instead of me finding an ISO keycap set from China while Corona is at it's peak - This means something. Again, I don't know your personal situation but don't say you do something and than do nothing and say nothing for 1.5 months. (After everything). Anyways for you guys - I got my hands on a KBD Muted keycap set, this one fits. So far I've tested the original Pok3r keycap set (fits) and the KPRepublic Muted (fits) - Tai Hao Miami does not fit, so maybe be careful with that one. I still don't know why I didn't fit. Here is a pic: https://imgur.com/a/pgvLXUsHope you all get your keyboards soon :/
Cool! Thanks Can you the share the files with me or how does it work? I never programmed a full keyboard, only the layers of my Pok3r so I have no idea. (And no magnet) But a lot of time due to COVID
Thank you! So I could use something like a cable and put in at the same time on those pins? Thanks for the attachement, didn't notice it first.
Southpaw Extended 65% for Dummies01. Install the prerequisites Here: • Driver update using Zadig here. It might be optional but I ended up needing it. Show Image • Install the TKG Chrome App Chrome Extension here.02. Choose a Layer 0 layout from keyboard-layout-editor.com (KLE). Customize your keys with these Available Labels. • Southpaw 65+ Master and All Options (if you are going to edit and use this make sure to switch the Key Colors back to #cccccc) • Layout 103. Make a Layer 1 layout from keyboard-layout-editor.com (KLE). Customize your keys with these Available Labels. • Blank Layout 104. Go to the TKG TMK Keymap Generator page here.05. Set up your General information. • Click Config Show Image • Under Preset change Default to XD85 then click Close. Show Image06. Set up your Layer information. • Go back to keyboard-layout-editor.com (KLE) and copy the info under </> Raw Data tab. Show Image Show Image • From there go back to the TKG TMK Keymap Generator page and paste the info under Layer 0 and Layer 1. Show Image07. Set up the Fn information. (Place Fn1, Fn2, Fn3 and so on keys in your layouts to allow you to different functions such as layers, LEDs, and macros.) • For example, I have 2 layers and LEDs. I have Fn1 set to Layer 1 with Fn2, Fn3, and Fn4 set to LED options. • I have Layer 1 setup set to Fn1 as [Layer action > Momentary] + [layer 1] Show Image • [Others > Built-in function] + [RGB LED] + [Optional] is the RGBs on the back of the board. Show Image 08. Set up your LED info. • LED1 is for your backlighting. Set the binding to None and check only the box that says backlight. • LED2 is for your caps lock LED. • LED3 is for your numlock LED. • LED4 is for your RGB backlight. Set that to active high, set the binding to None, and check only the box that says backlight. Show Image09. Now that you filled out all of the needed info it's time to flash these settings. • Reset the board by moving a magnet over the reset switch or by connecting the two pads if you've opted to snip it off. (It turns out that I can reset mine with it assembled by waving a magnet in between my LAlt and Space keys.) Show Image • On the TKG TMK Keymap Generator page at the bottom [Burn .hex file] will turn all the way green. Click on it to flash these settings. Show Image • Assuming everything went smoothly a bar will pop up with 2 parts letting you know it's complete. Show ImageThis was my 1st build and I found it a bit hard to understand what was what. So I made this to help out the newbs like myself. Note that TKG TMK Keymap Generator page will not compile or flash if there is something that doesn't make sense in the layout. Check if the later box is outlined in red and click it to see any problems that you need to resolve. I would have taken the time to make every possible combination but KLE doesn't let me save as so it keeps overwriting the other layouts I made. If you would like to have you layouts for Layer 0 and Layer 1 under steps 3 and 4 let me know and I will update this post.
@pegasus21 where do I start with this guide and your files? Where do I upload/enter the .c file from you? Could you help me out here again please? EDIT: Wait - These instructions are saying "TKG" but your filename says QMK? Arent those two kind of software to program a keeb?

EDIT: Wait - These instructions are saying "TKG" but your filename says QMK? Arent those two kind of software to program a keeb?Yes they are both to program a kb. The original firmware that is supported by this kb is based on TMK.I made a QMK port for this board.If all you want is to program the kb and don't care about what firmware you're using, then you can follow the instructions you pasted for TMK.If you need help in setting up the QMK build and flashing environment, I suggest reading the QMK documentation. They are quite detailed in how to get you started.https://docs.qmk.fm/#/newbs_getting_startedhttps://docs.qmk.fm/#/newbs_building_firmwarehttps://docs.qmk.fm/#/newbs_flashing
Thank you for the additional information. I already bookmarked the QMK links but I was not sure if I understood that correctly that you did a QMK port. I try it with QMK, documentation looks "better"
Hey guys! We have ordered the leftover screws for this, again... We seem to not be hitting the right sizes. When they come we should not take long to ship things. We are aware after matching further orders, that some ALPS plates and silver plates are not available. We will write people when we know for sure.
The thing is I have absolutely no idea about that, like zero. So I have to read the QMK links in any case cause I dont even know how to flash QMK with the Hex files EDIT: I made it Like you said, I just flashed it onto the board. I am testing right with QMK Config and everything is working - Thank you very much!!
Works like a charm I don't think I have to make any changes tbh - But it was a good to occupy myself a bit with QMK. Would you mind if I do an absolute foolprof (for noobs like me) flash instruction with your file and QMK here for this thread?
Okay You know what would be nice? I think I am going to put the arrow keys on a second layer to WASD, same as I have it with my Pok3r. Would this be useful?
ive got my hands on a bent plate kit atm, was hoping to find some reliable files online for possible printing/laser cutting a high-profile case for this bad boy. if anyone knows of any please let me know!
It would be somewhat cool if the bent case would fit into a certain high-profile case Like a 2 in 1 solution

Update on my end as I've emailed candykeys and they're checking through what items they have on-hand. I'm not sure why this is happening as they should've checked and counted when the keyboards arrived and told me or manu about any missing parts but it seems like that wasn't done. I'm holding off on selling what extras I have as I don't want anyone to be SOL and not have anything in hand after two (almost three) years of waiting. I sent them hardware specs a really long while back and posted them in discord also. Please see below if you need hardware. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pzW35722LaaxbYut-EYNpxquPWcZq40x9o-8dkqCLGo/edit?usp=sharing

Love my bent case but god would I kill for the aluminum case

What is the delay?
Hey @CandyKeys, how about you ship our keyboards to us as they are, and let us source missing hardware on our own?Or, you know, you can keep our keyboards and refund us instead. At this point, I don't really care anymore.
