I am having the worst time trying to flash my firmware on this thing.

I want to use VIA, but it doesn't have a lot of capabilities I need for this PCB, and it only has 3 layers on VIA?

Anyways, I keep trying to flash it and I keep getting an error stating "Cannot open DFU device 0483:df11 No DFU capable USB device available."

I have purchased two of these PCBs: One through mechboards and another through NovelKeys, and both are having this issue.

Is there something that I'm missing? I even went to the Keebtalk discussion and went through dfu-util with the posted arguments and still getting this error. I have also attempted flashing through QMK Toolbox as well as the command line. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Are you hitting the button on the back before you flash it?  Either that or hold esc while you plug it in?
Yep, tried just about every combination on this thing. Kept following the instructions to RESET/FLASH by holding Esc while unplugged, then plugging in while holding Esc still to flash the PCB. Also tried holding the physical button on the back to flash, and even used  Fn +] for the RESET mapping from the layout that I can get in VIA. No success on any of those.

The weird thing is that when QMK Toolbox is running, it lists the PCB being in DFU mode. However, dfu-util - - list states that no DFU devices were found. Attempting to flash both ways shows the error above.

Normally, I'm pretty good with this stuff, but this one has me stumped. I've got $200 in PCBs that I can't use

Hey Ryan, try this:
firstly download https://zadig.akeo.ie/
then put the keyboard in flashing mode
esc+usb thing
open zadig
from devices select STM32 BOOTLOADER
from driver select  libusbK
press reinstall driver
let it do its thing
now qmk toolbox should work as expected
This is an issue with windows 10 installing a slightly different variant of the libusb driver, literally by random chance
some pcs work straight away some don't

Brilliant...it works! I have successfully flashed on both PCBs with this solution.

It is always a driver issue for me. I should know this by now, but I greatly appreciate the both of you for reaching out and helping.

Thank you so much for solving my problem!

How can I enable the backlight of capslock as capslock indicator?

I found the option in the qmk firmware documentation but I don't know where to set it.

The only way right now is to hardcode in the zeal60/rgb_backlight.c file.  You can see the way I did it here: https://github.com/stanrc85/qmk_firmware/blob/72252a2051e8a756487419b4aeb6ebaa1edc3299/keyboards/zeal60/rgb_backlight.c#L77

No, I don't believe so.  That version of QMK is a few years out of date anyways. I could send you a bin file of the default keymap with the RGB changes you want and then you can use VIA to adjust the keymap easily.

Any chance of a WKL layout with 2u Backspace and split Right Shift? Basically, an HHKB with 2u Backspace.

Can anyone tell me how I'm supposed to save changes through the VIA configurator and save the keymap? I can change LED settings and save them and then unplug the keyboard and those are saved, but it never saves my keymap changes. All I want to do is set my esc key to actually function like an escape key.

Sounds like the same issue I was having.  You'll need to press the button on the back of the board and flash updated firmware.

The bin files are on this page to get it updated.

I newley use a alu case with the pcb before I used an acrylic case.

When I now screw down the pcb to the case I have the problem that for example the spacebar is not working and also some other keys like 'f' 'g' and 'h'.
Also randomly some hex codes where printed if I use the control key on the left side.

Anyone with the same problem and a fix for me?

You have a hotswap socket hitting one of the screw posts on the case.  Most likely the middle one or the one to the right of the space bar.  Cover those sections with some electrical tape before you screw it down.

I had the same issue when I bought the V2 a while back. I ended up loosening the screws and everything worked perfectly so didn't need to use electrical tape.

Now the y, h, b and space key stopped completely working for me. Even when they are not in a case. I can not find anything on the back of the pcb that looks bad.
Any idea hot to fix this? I have already reset the pcb.

I'm going to guess that it's a bad diode.  Here's what I would try, though:

First, test the sockets. Take the PCB out of the case and connect it to the computer.  Use tweezers or something metal like a bent paper clip and bridge the two pads on the back (Orange 1 in photo).  Make sure you are connecting the flat pads that are on the PCB, and not just the socket arms.  Let us know if that works for any of the switches not functioning.  If that's the case, the hotswap sockets have just become desoldered from the pads under them.

Next, I would check the diodes on the board.  Connect the Cathode to the lower hotswap arm like the blue #2 in the photo.  Does it register?  Not sure of the diode polarity, so try a working switch and see what you get.  Might need to connect the other end.

Lastly... what is that green 3 pointing to?  It looks like it could be a screw that's very close to the processor.  Traces run out of that Atmel chip to the board.  Could have shorted/scratched something down there??

Start with these and see what you get.

Hey all.

Production is ongoing. It was expected to arrive to me around now but we're still a couple weeks away from a delivery. They'll arrive very early in the new year. Sorry about the delays.

Something is wrong with my caps lock. Its moved 1-2 mm to the left of the other keys. Its bumping the edge of the case as you can see in the image. Also the left shift and the <> key is hitting each other. Anyone else who have this problem with ISO PCB?

Posting this in case it helps someone with the same problem
I got a HS60 v3 and fried it after less than 3 days because I was using a metal case without proper insulation between standoffs and PCB. The whole 6/Y/H/B/spacebar column was dead. Resetting the board did not help.

I revived it using the following method

Image: https://imgur.com/a/EyW89hc

- Take a multimeter. Looking at the pcb on the bottom side, make sure there is continuity between the RIGHT socket of each key in the dead column and the old pin (3rd pin on the top left of the chip, see image). If there is continuity, it means the pin is fried. If there is no continuity, you have a different issue, like a scratched trace somewhere.
- Solder a short wire from the RIGHT pad of the spacebar socket to the exposed A6 pin hole (see image). Check with the multimeter for continuity between all the RIGHT socket of each key in the dead column to the new pin.
- Using a very sharp xacto cutter VERY CAREFULLY cut the trace from the column to the old pin. This took me a while to find, and I think the best place to cut is (see image) right after the via hole near the spacebar socket. Scratch on top of the trace and expose some of the copper, then test for continuity with the old pin, just to make sure you're cutting the right trace. Then keep going with the cutter until there is no more continuity to the old pin.
- Download the qmk_firmware repo and open this file -> keyboards/hs60/v2/ansi/config.h
- change the line
Code: [Select]
#define MATRIX_COL_PINS { A13, A10, A9, A14, A15, B8, B9, C13, C14, C15, A0, A1, A2, A3 }and change B9 to A6.
- Flash firmware on the board. FYI this is done from the root of the qmk_firmware directory and executing "make hs60/v2/ansi:via:dfu-util"

Btw I have the v3 ANSI version. The traces might be different on ISO and HHKB versions

Hey guys, I am having a weird problem but I don't know what causes it. HS60 V3. I flashed it on my Macbook with QMK ToolBox and it worked flawlessly on MacOS. When the keyboard it connected to my PC, it doesn't even show up in the device manager. (USB cable directly to the back of the motherboard).
After flashing it on PC with QMK ToolBox it worked, keyboard showed up in device manager as HID device (also after rebooting), as long as I don't pull out the cable and reconnect it, because once the cable is disconnected, it totally disappeared, even booting the PC with the keyboard connected doesn't work.
I think the problem is in windows, but I have no idea what it is.

You're going directly into the computer?  No usb hub or monitor pass through?  I can't tell you how many times I thought I fried a PCB only to find out it was windows deciding not to pass data through one of my hubs.  Sometimes they work fine.  Sometimes they don't.

Also, have you programmed it with VIA.  It's super easy and intuitive.  It's my favorite feature of the HS60:

flash the firmware from here with QMK toolbox:

Look for your HS60 on the list.  I don't know if you use HHKB, ANSI or ISO

Certainly appears to.  But I'm only going of render photos shown here:

Couldn't figure out how to flash my board with QMK like I have done in the past so I downloaded and used VIA for the first time. It's pretty great! A lot simpler to use than QMK. However is it not possible to use  the LT() keycode in VIA? Eg. I want my delete key to be delete when tapped but open layer 2 when held. Is that possible in VIA? I can't seem to figure it out.

Go to the "Special" tab and select the "Any" key.  This allows you to type in any qmk function on that key.

After you choose "Any" for the delete, you'll have to click on that key in the VIA GUI and type in:
LT(2, KC_DELETE)

You can see I use it for going to layer 1 on hold or caps lock on tap for my layout.
