Satan GH60
« on: Fri, 12 December 2014, 10:19:36 »
I actually plan on buying this pcb when I visit armygroup in about 2 days.

Is it proven working? Seems like there is led holes for every switch... which wasn't on the original GH60 without a additional controller.

Help would be much appreciated!

Yeah, since it doesn't look like the actual GH60s are ever going to ship. :'(

I just ordered one from taobao seller loveq. Maybe someone could get in contact with him? He sells Gaterons, GH60 Satan, and stabilizers through taobao, but I'd rather deal with him directly without a taobao agent, if at all possible.

It's a decent 60% PCB. Not as many LED control options as NERDs or b.87 series, but it's good.

Sorry for double posting but I've finally figured out this board.

I'll post an in depth review and programming thread if anyone is interested, but generally this PCB is more than decent for what it does.

Are the users of this keyboard to be known as Satanists henceforth?  :p

Sometimes I wish I never got addicted to matrix boards. Now I can't get involved with these interesting buys. But then again, by being addicted to matrixes, I conveniently excuse myself from buying many things that are 'high quality and awesome' but which I don't actually need.
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

For some reason my keyboard doesn't seem to go past the "waiting for bootloader...." stage with reflash.bat. Do I need additional drivers or something?

Edit: Just installed zadig.exe for the appropriate drivers, this time is wrote to the keyboard but now it won't work!  :(

Edit2: Managed to get it to somewhat work by reflashing the firmware to it (not the same as the one that came with it as it doesn't seem to account for the pinky function). Not really sure what to do as the layout is still less than ideal.

Sorry if this is pretty nooby, never had a keyboard that runs on this firmware before!

Same thing happen for my GH60, eventhough I use GH60_revCH firmware which included in the tool.

Have you managed to get the keyboard working?

I don't think I made it very clear what I was doing in my reply. What I did was I used the firmware found here:
https://github.com/comicchang/tmk_keyboard/tree/master/keyboard/amj60
All the firmwares that came in that tool (tkg-toolkit) are not suitable with my keyboard (the AMJ60). I did flash it with the tool, but I had to use the LUFA_dfu apposed to the ATMEL_dfu, as I tried to use all the tools linked to by Hasu in the TMK thread but none of them found my keyboard (FLIP, Avrdude, etc.).
I am now back on the 'default' keymap for this PCB, which isn't the same one as the one that came on it when it shipped (like I said in my last post the pink fn doesn't work).
When I try to flash a new keymap (using TMK make commands) it always gives me the default keymap, even though I follow Hasu's instructions exactly.

I am hoping that someone with more experience in this area can help me out!

I'm my fault.
I arbitrarily updated the dfu-programmer shipped with tkg-toolkit so it's necessary to update the driver of ATm32U4DFU (NOT GH60) to a WinUSB version by using Zadig.

The keyboard still working, but not the same as when it shipped. The original one have Fn at the Left-Win button while after I flash with GH60_revCH, there is no Fn button at all.

It would be nice to see the final version of the GH60.   Holding the final pcb out of the public domain until the never ending group buy finally delivers or everyone has died of old age is a shame.


I suspect there would be plenty of GH's built if the final board revision was available.

So where did you guys order yours?
Just found this link, but I'm unsure what to make of it: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Satan-GH60-PCB-White-Board-LED-DIY-Mechanical-Keyboard/32266124434.html

Also that one thread linked in the first post talks about slight mounting hole differences - is that fixed currently?
I just think I really need either this or GON now, else I'm going insane waiting for that groupbuy.

That's where everyone got theirs I'm pretty sure (I think more from Taobao before it was on ali). Seems a bit more expensive, not sure though

Is the Satan GH60 still a PITA? I'm suddenly in the market for three PCBs, and would like all three to be the same for simplicity, and for all three to use TMK. Is Satan a good choice, or should I get something more expensive?

I thought it was recommended to keep GH job friendly, this image may not be job friendly in most places I know, religious beliefs apart. Isn't it?

How the hell (!) is that considered job unfriendly? I'd say if someone complained about that at work they'd probably be pretty damn fundamentalist nutjobs :p .

Let's keep the thread on topic: A GH60 PCB version and its characteristics.

... Yes... Is the Satan GH60 even remotely like the normal GH60? Or should I try to get a proper one instead? Either through the second-hand market now that they're shipping (a bit) or through a (hopefully) new round.

You should consider the two (Satan GH60 and the proper GH60) as two different 60% PCBs, that don't have much in common except the form factor (60%) and the same MCU (atmega32u4). Different layout support, different row/col pinout, different backlight support, different quality... It's just plain annoying and the Chinese call their board GH60 for marketing purposes.

That does not mean that Satan GH60 is better or worse than GH60 - it depends on what you want.

Given that you'd probably be using TMK on both, the firmware that they come with does not matter at all. I would consider the quality of Satan GH60 as the same as most "Chinese" things - mostly acceptable/good, but QC sucks, so you may get a defective one. (By the way, the proper GH60s were also manufactured in China I think.)

I've order a different 60% PCB (Red Scarf II) from Taobao, and the quality was OK - everything worked fine, even though the PCB wasn't cleaned from flux.

Good answer! Thank you. Considering the price I think I'll try it, and be happy if they work and not surprised if they don't.

Please report back your experience with the PCB, it may be interesting for other fellows.

I have a problem today. My PCB cant keymap. When i download the EEP from http://tkg.hanchen.me/, and reflash the pcb, mine doesnt accept new one layout, but return to the default layout like this http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/layouts/7d55431c8a8d9f9bf94b6f6af8ce7c12. Something wrong with the website, or with my PCB ??

@toneman77: It seems to me that the online TKG gadget does allow you to select AMJ60 as one of the keyboards (and generate keymap files), the tkg-toolkit does not come with a "base" firmware for AMJ60. Unless you know that AMJ60 is electrically the same as one of the ones for which there *is* a base firmware (see the tkg-toolkit/common/firmware directory), I'm not sure you can use that tool.

@sonwalker: What does "reflash the pcb" mean for you? The EEP file is only one small piece of the whole firmware, and you also need to make sure that the "main" firmware is one of the ones that reads the keymap from eeprom (e.g. the standard TMK does not do that).
