How to install
You need only screw driver to install this controller. No soldering is required.
And take a look this video. Thank you, stoic-lemon!

Open case
You have to void warranty from manufacturer to do this mod, of course.
More
Step 1: Void your warranty with getting rid of sticker and unscrew.

Step 2: Crack it open using tool like phone openner or plastic card with care.

Mate/unmate connector
Check image below to know how to mate/unmate connector.
More
I recommend you follow method proposed by manufacturer and this works certainly for me.
You don't need any tool to remove/unmate the connector use just your fingers. Plier and screwdriver likely slip off and make scratch and give cables damage.
To remove/unmate hold many cables as possible with thumb and index finger and wiggle the connector laterally each side within 15deg range.
To insert/mate just push both side edge of the connector parallel with fingers or nails.

How to remap
Keymap Editor
You can use online keymap editor to get prebuilt firmware with your own keymap.
(http://i.imgur.com/KcIdgMh.png)
More
There are two kind of prebuilt firmware. Plain one has very simple keymap and would be useful as start point if you want to define you own keymap from scratch. Emu one emulates FC660C stock behaviour, it would be nice if you like the stock keymap basically and need only small change.
- Plain: http://www.tmk-kbd.com/tmk_keyboard/editor/unimap/?fc660c
- Emu: http://www.tmk-kbd.com/tmk_keyboard/editor/unimap/?fc660c_emu
LED control
CapsLock LED indicates CapsLock state naturally in both Plain and Emu firmware.
Insert LED never light up with Plain firmware, which suits for people who have no plan on the LED or regard it distractive. Emu firmware turns Insert LED on when Layer 1 is activated, you can you can place your keymap there and make it indicator for your keymap state.
Not a fan of these behaviour? You can do anything with the LEDs if you willing to write small code, of course.
Keymap Examples:
- hasu's: spacefn and mousekey(Emu) https://goo.gl/HfpRFd
Share your keymap! Use 'URL shortener' button on keymap editor to get URL of your keymap and post it here.

How to flash
TMK FC660C Alt Controller has ATMega32U4 as a microcontroller. To boot the microcontroller into programming mode push button on bottom of keyboard.
See wiki page on github for detail of flashing tool.
https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/wiki#flash-firmware
Build from source codes
You can also tweak sources if keymap editor is not enough.
https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/tree/master/keyboard/fc660c
See this for detail.
https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/wiki#build-firmware
NOTE
- No plan for USB-C C is a bit too large to plug in USB-mini hole.

- No Bluetooth This controller doesn't support Bluetooth, USB only. https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=88720.msg2397757#msg2397757
- Not for FC980C I guess desinging controller for FC980C is not so difficult but problem is its costs and availability here. I cannot justify the cost to get it so far, I may need to run interest check on geekhack to know how many demand exists.

Hi folks, thanks for your support!
All GB orders were shipped yesterday and you will receive noticing email with tracking number from Japan Post in next few days. The email comes from ems-mypage@ml.post.japanpost.jp and tends to be recognzied as a spam, please look into your junk mail folder too. Email me your paypal email or invoice number if you don't have tracking number until May 24.
In some countries including Canada and Australia you cannot trace your packet unfortunately. I have never had any lost packet though, in Canada I have had long delay on some deliveries these months, in worst case it took two months, really pain :( If you are in Canada you may have to be very patient.

First, this controller doesn't support Bluetooth.
And I'm not sure whether I can make Bluetooth controller for FC660C before very long.

I have no clear plan on Bluetooth controller, I'm not working on it currently at least.
I found some dificulties on Bluetooth controller. One of them is that FC660C controller PCB is much smaller than HHKB and this requires new design and components. It will take longer than what I expected and I'm not sure when I can have enough time to do so.

What about the FC 660M Support ?
You can make (already) *any* USB keyboard programmable using Hasu's USB->USB converter.
You won't be able to change the FN key (if there is one on a FC 660M), but for the rest, you'd have TMK firmware on the converter so it would be completely programmable.

Great work Hasu. I can only speak for myself, but I bought the FC660c only after I paid the invoice for your new controller. ;D I hope you'll open source and post the pcb design for the controller up on Github.

First of; Thank you for doing this Hasu really really happy to finally get the chance to have
a fully programable keyboard.. :thumb: :thumb:
i stumbled upon this news watching “Manofinterests” Youtube channel episode “This Week in Keyboard 04112017”.
i also own a FC660M (mx-clear) but i already read that this is only compatible with my FC660C. Who knows perhaps in the future.
For now i’m very happy about the prospect of a pimping my FC660C. Can’t thank you enough mate.
i wil definitely email you ASAP (As Soon As Possible)..
i do have a couple questions in regards to the keymap Editor.
is there a howto for the editor?
i’m using mac and sum CentOS vm’s. i do have an older laptop i can install a different linux version on it to aid.
i’m looking for a step by step guide. like how to flash the firmware with the new layout i made.
i already noticed that the editor doesn’t work on safari but does on Firefox so no issue there.
Don’t have googly chrome.
i did find your main page that points to a wiki, http://www.tmk-kbd.com/tmk_keyboard/
So wil have to have a look.
Also under Action Codes fourth tab from left (Layer Switching and etc.) pointed me to github page
“Keymap framework - how to define your keycap”https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/blob/master/tmk_core/doc/keymap.md#3-layer-switching-example (https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/blob/master/tmk_core/doc/keymap.md#3-layer-switching-example)
That looks promising and complicated / time consuming but i’m going to read true it :-[
Thanks again..

Is there a way to program the controller so I could toggle a different layer where I press C for example and it outputs that macro? If not does somebody have a different solution? I'm that big of a tech guy.
Post by: hking0036 on Thu, 13 April 2017, 14:04:56
I'm thinking about that and don't decide yet. at worst case you can use other layers than layer 1.It'd be great if there was a toggle in the web thing, but I understand that's extra effort for not much change. Personally, I'd say throw up a default map here with it on and then disable it on the web config. Considering you can output in C I can probably just build one, it's just a timesaver not to have to since I don't have a linux box around.

There are some excess controllers from Rev.B and I like to part with them to mitigate development expense. Is any GB participant willing to get the controller? I would appreciate this.
It costs 32USD including shipping, you can save 8 and get controller eariler.
If you are interested email me with subject "FC660C Early Access" and let me know your invoice number. I'll refund 8USD out of 40 you paid. The controllers will be shipped in a week.

Hello Hasu, I just paid the invoice for the controller. Thank you for making this possible. I do have a question. Is it possible to program macro's to keycombinations? Like for example I study medicine and often when writing about cellular physiology I need to type electrolytes and their charges which are superscript. In word, for Ca2+ I would have to press Ca,CTRL,SHIFT,+,2+,CTRL,SHIFT,+
Is there a way to program the controller so I could toggle a different layer where I press C for example and it outputs that macro? If not does somebody have a different solution? I'm that big of a tech guy.
You can define macro in keymap file for that purpose. Macro code looks like this.
https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/blob/master/keyboard/hhkb/unimap_hasu.c#L89-L109
Unfortunately web keymap editor doesn't support macro at this time unfortunately.

to the people who is doing the buy, what sort of changes will you make to your keyboard with the programming? just curious to what changes people do
First of all, replacing Ins and Del by PgUp PgDn, then maybe I'll add some more Fn stuff.
But that's not all about programming:
- I support open-source everywhere, including in my keyboard
- I expect a more solid USB port
- Hasu is amazing for doing that :thumb:

Ahh..yes that would be nice actually. Wonder why leopold decided to give insert/delete their own key. I actually hardly ever use insert/delete so I guess it never really made sense to me. Have you seen what other keys people assigned it to? I could see the hasu being useful for hhkb since they're no windows key on it?

Hasu, I'm completely new to your custom controllers; is it possible to change the capacitance threshold / actuation point?Yes, it is possible. But it won't be supported in default firmware for user safety's sake :D
See this post and first post in the thread.

sent mail as well: my usb connector was getting wonky anyway so this is a great way to get that fixed :P
Could you share pic of it if you have time?
I'm curious about how the connector come off.
Not sure if you can gauge anything from it, but here you go: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zrd3tblcdytbw81/20170418_085657.jpg?dl=0 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/zrd3tblcdytbw81/20170418_085657.jpg?dl=0). From the looks of it, it looks like the connector is just worn out (It looks like maybe there is some slight warping, but I'm not sure since I've never inspected a connector this closely).
And here it is with a cable attached: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nlk3g3nhopschny/20170418_085637.jpg?dl=0 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/nlk3g3nhopschny/20170418_085637.jpg?dl=0). Not really a visible difference, but it's very wobbly and can be disconnected easily: when first inserting, it doesn't have that "click" when it's fully connected - it just sits there.
I bought it second hand with landing pads, and maybe it was just well-used. Not sure how old the board is.

I guess solderig or PCB is problem, not connector itself. if so you can't see what happens until you open case.

thanks.

Thanks for the tip: when I receive the new controller I can try to take a few pics of the old one to see if that's the issue. Either way, shouldn't be a problem when I get yours!

To be honest i don't know if can figure out how to load a new Keymap :confused:
i know RTFM i'm reading the wiki's but the more i read the more questions arise.. :-[
But this controller seems like an awesome way to get my hands on a backup in case my usb port fails.
i'm trying to figure out how to load a layout using Fedora, and perhaps OSX 10.9.5 but i have an older 32bit laptop running Fedora.
Still reading btw; like the issues with mac media keys. personally would be happy with volume up/down.
btw; using Fn letter o raises brightness of my laptop and p dims the screen of my laptop. (both FC660C and FC660M)
i found this strange ScrLk and Pus/Brk for screen brightness. to bad there isn't a strange key combo for volume.
btw if i remember correctly also on Fedora..Just a side note..
Post by: robotmaxtron on Fri, 21 April 2017, 09:33:18
wil you be flashing the default layout on the controller before you ship ?

You'll be able to flash the .hex on Fedora by using dfu-programmer. After you install the package, likely from sudo or root, press the restart button on the Hasu controller then:
Code: [Select]
dfu-programmer atmega32u2 erase --force
dfu-programmer atmega32u2 flash mynewhexfile.hex
dfu-programmer atmega32u2 reset
Post by: hasu on Fri, 21 April 2017, 15:45:06

Yes, the controller will be shipped with default firmware(Emu) so that you can test it out of the box without flashing.

Hi folks,
Thank you all for your support! I already got many many orders, almost 100, it is three times as much as what I expected.
This GB will be closed on end of month. Please place order and make payment till 30th of April(in your time zone) if you are interested.
And possibly final revision PCBs are on the way and production will start soon. I'll post updates here.

Sorry to bother you. Thanks for the group buy! I'm wondering if there is a long-press feature on this controller. For example, I want to set the number row on my 660C so that when I tap the 5 key, 5 is entered. But when I hold (long-press) the 5 key let, F5 is registered.
Is this possible?

Not supported with Keymap editor at least. You will have to wite code and build it yourself.

Should I be nervous cracking open the FC660C case once the controller arrives?
Nah, it's pretty easy. I've taken mine apart like 5 times. The clips are the hardest part.
Post by: nsmechkb on Fri, 12 May 2017, 21:53:59
Should I be nervous cracking open the FC660C case once the controller arrives?
I wondered the same thing. If you're not used to opening plastic cases, just go slowly.
I used two credit cards. I found it easiest to start at the center of the back seam. Use one card to hold the seam open and the other card to release the clip. Once you release all four back clips you can kind of lift the top half of the case so that you have more wiggle room when working on the front seam.
The credit cards didn't leave any marks on the case.
Good luck!

I just opened my case for the first time the other day and it wasn't bad at all. Just go slowly and make sure you don't forget to unscrew the case before you even try pulling it off.

Might be a stupid question, but Is it possible to add ISO-NO characters in Layer 1 for example? Layer 0 would be ANSI, but Layer 1 would have ISO-NO characters instead of [ and ] it would be Æ and Ø?
Thank you!
It is technically possible somehow but it depends on your OS/IME and its settings. If keyboard layout on OS supports those charactors setting keymap will be relatively easier, if not you will have to write keyboard MACRO in keymap source file to use "Unicode input".
https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/wiki/FAQ-Keymap#input-special-charactors-other-than-ascii-like-c%C3%A9dille-%C3%87
EDIT:
It seems you can use "US international" layout which supports those keys, you can input Æ with RightAlt + Shift + z and Ø with RightAlt + Shift + l.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTY#US-International
You can map the keycombos with modified key action ACTION_MODS_KEY().
https://github.com/tmk/tmk_core/blob/master/doc/keymap.md#212-modified-key
You can edit these combo with "Code Edit" tab on TMK Keymap Editor fortunately, see spot of [ and ] on layer 3 in this example keymap. You can type Æ with Shift + Fn(L3) + [ with this keymap and "US international" layout.

I tested this on Xorg/Ubuntu16.04.

They'll be for sale after the GB orders are all fulfilled. So it should be pretty soon-ish since the GB is in production and then shipping soon after.

All GB orders were shipped yesterday and you will receive noticing email with tracking number from Japan Post in next few days. The email comes from ems-mypage@ml.post.japanpost.jp and tends to be recognzied as a spam, please look into your junk mail folder too. Email me your paypal email or invoice number if you don't have tracking number until May 24.
In some countries including Canada and Australia you cannot trace your packet unfortunately. I have never had any lost packet though, in Canada I have had long delay on some deliveries these months, in worst case it took two months, really pain :( If you are in Canada you may have to be very patient.

On windows (and single/few computer(s)): Just install both NO and EN on it and toggle between them with "shift+alt". No need IMO to have that in the keyboard (unless you travel between lots of different computers)

I do hope this is the place for some troubleshooting though. I installed Flip 3.4.7 and selected the ATmega32U4 device. I cannot however 'open the usb device'. I pressed the programming button on the back of the board before trying to open communications. I tried several USB ports and cables to rule these factors out. I did load Zadig and it locates the ATM32u4-something device when I press the programming button on the keyboard. Zadig confirms the WinUSB v6.1 drivers are loaded (had to do this manually with the GH60's I programmed). In Win10 device management I see several HID and USB input devices if the board is connected, nothing particularly strange there.
Any thoughts to get Flip to open comms with the board so I can load my hex?

First off, great GB and super quick turnaround very well done! Also the install was pretty easy (although I'd rather not have to open that case again). I'm typing with the new controller now, so far so good.

HI, what error do you get/what does it say when you hit open?
You need to choose ATMega32U4. Also make sure in device manager you choose the included atmel USB driver as the driver for the controller after hitting the button.
Post by: a clacktical mistake on Fri, 26 May 2017, 17:04:17
When I hit the bootloader button on the keyboard it does lists the ATm32U4DFU device in the Windows device manager. Windows says the most up to date drivers are loaded. I suppose the drivers should be included in win10? Should I download and install these separately, if so, where do I find the driver?
Post by: suparnemo on Fri, 26 May 2017, 17:06:25
Hi, thanks for the quick reply :) I am getting the error 'Could not open USB device' in Flip. /ed: I selected the ATmega32U4 device before opening communications.

I suppose the drivers should be included in win10? Should I download and install these separately, if so, where do I find the driver?
The driver that I had to use to fix that was the one in the Atmel folder. It's in the folder labeled USB.
Post by: a clacktical mistake on Fri, 26 May 2017, 17:44:45
If someone else runs into this, the fix was not that complicated ofcourse but relied on a rather specific combination of options to update the driver in the device manager. I right clicked the device and selected update driver. Then I selected browse computer for driver software as you would. However in the next screen instead of pointing to the location of the driver I selected 'let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer' followed by the button 'Have disk'. And finally windows accepted the drivers in the Flip usb folder and now I can open comms in Flip.

Got mine today and typing on it now! :thumb: Really loving it so far. Only one thing that I'm having trouble with - I'm trying to set FN+LGUI as a toggle for l0/l3 but I can't pin down how to do it exactly. If you have any advice I'd appreciate.
Keymap is here: https://goo.gl/4AAJCk
In TMK higher layer is preceded to other lower layers. When you are on Layer3 you can't access T3 on Layer2 with pressing L2, because LGui on Layer3 conceals the T3 key. Note that L2 just turns on Layer2 but not Layer3 off. To avoid this you can use TRNS(TRANS or transparent) keycode, use TRNS instead of LGui on Layer3. Or just move contents of Layer2 to higher layer than Layer3.
https://github.com/tmk/tmk_core/blob/master/doc/keymap.md#02-layer-precedence-and-transparency

Hi, thanks for the quick reply :) I am getting the error 'Could not open USB device' in Flip. /ed: I selected the ATmega32U4 device before opening communications.
When I hit the bootloader button on the keyboard it does lists the ATm32U4DFU device in the Windows device manager. Windows says the most up to date drivers are loaded. I suppose the drivers should be included in win10? Should I download and install these separately, if so, where do I find the driver?
You need to install driver. See this.

Thanks for the info on that, I'll go and fix those up. :DGot mine today and typing on it now! :thumb: Really loving it so far. Only one thing that I'm having trouble with - I'm trying to set FN+LGUI as a toggle for l0/l3 but I can't pin down how to do it exactly. If you have any advice I'd appreciate.
Keymap is here: https://goo.gl/4AAJCk
In TMK higher layer is preceded to other lower layers. When you are on Layer3 you can't access T3 on Layer2 with pressing L2, because LGui on Layer3 conceals the T3 key. Note that L2 just turns on Layer2 but not Layer3 off. To avoid this you can use TRNS(TRANS or transparent) keycode, use TRNS instead of LGui on Layer3. Or just move contents of Layer2 to higher layer than Layer3.

I usually play a game named Playerunknowns battleground. Well, when I use the original controller, the game captures the SHIFT keystrokes correctly, but when I use TMK controller, the shift key is not correctly read and the keystroke is differently interpreted by the game. Of course I have interchanged the controllers without changing any settings from the game.
Which different can exist between the "shifts keystrokes" from the two controllers?.

Can you explain how different, what's actually the problem? timing?, miss or transpose key strokes?
And how can you reproduce it?
Can plain keymap work with the game? http://www.tmk-kbd.com/tmk_keyboard/editor/unimap/?fc660c
I guess trick on shift key are not acceptable on the game assuming you are using EMU keymap.

I think for some reason it is being read by the logitech input. I am having the same issue as the above person in game, and it seems to trigger another bind I have set. It's randomly another key, but for now I can't recreate it
Post by: suparnemo on Fri, 26 May 2017, 20:23:21
I have recreated an issue with the input.
Hold down W + D the hit shift. W + D will stop registering as held down. In game when walking right + forward, trying to use shift to walk makes you stop moving.
Actually, it seems any combination of keys you hold down, even one single key, hitting shift will cause the key to stop registering being held.
Post by: suparnemo on Fri, 26 May 2017, 20:26:05
This issue does not occur when pressing control. Only shift, or when using FN it resets the buttons.
Is this the same issue you previously mentioned? The issue I am having is that when I am moving in game, and try to use shift to start walking, the input stops registering. Also, if you are holding shift, then walk (Press wasd) when you let go of shift the key will stop registering.
Control + movement works fine.

Yes, I think it is exactly what txepox suffers from.
Pressing Shift key(with ~ trick) of EMU keymap clears other keys(except for modifiers) pressed. This doesn't matter usually in typing but will harm greatly in gaming.
For now use Plain keymap(Plain shift keycode) for gaming.

I changed the emu map to Lshift and Rshift (Without layer) and it fixes this issue.
Tilde can still be used with FN+SHIFT+GRAVE(Esc). It's the easiest instead of remapping FN with the plain map.

It's so great to switch right control with fn key. (This wasn't possible with usb2usb converter)
I don't know the unimap nor actionmap features coming with latest tmk firmware yet so I backported the fc660c sources
to support classic keymap format.
Anyway, this is my keymap https://github.com/xauser/tmk_keyboard/blob/xauser/keyboard/fc660c/keymap_xauser.c (https://github.com/xauser/tmk_keyboard/blob/xauser/keyboard/fc660c/keymap_xauser.c)

I tried to convert your keymap into unimap version, just for reference. In unimap/actionmap how to create special actions is changed as you can see.

I am really new to keyboard firmware. I only recently found out about the existence of TMK. I dug into the documentation but found the info on macros very hard. Then I stumbled on QMK - I only know it is based on TMK and apparently making macros is a bit easier. I searched a bit but it didn't seem like this controller supports it (?). Could somebody enlighten me a bit? I would like to know more about various firmware and get better at configuring keyboards, but if the coding gets too hard I fear to loose interest. A nice intuitive GUI is probably better for me. But still being able to make some half complex macros - if that is even possible. Maybe somebody has some pointers in this regard.
See this.

In case someone is wondering, Win 7 64 Bit was saying that the "Device was not installed correctly" when the keyboard was in bootloader mode. All you have to do is search the USB driver in the Flip installation folder and install the driver manually.
I am typing on it as we speak and I am really happy with the result ;D
;D I finally have volume controls on the FC660C !!! ;D
I have 2 questions though:
1. Is there a way to get the LED under Insert LED to light up when I am in Layer 1 (I keep the FN key pressed to use L1 functions)
2. Can I get the Right Ctrl+FN to display the context menu?

i'm on 10.9.5 (Mavericks)
Reading the simple install manual that came with dfu-programmer the first thing i saw was that i needed tools like autoconf and automate.
so i installed Xcode. And proceeded with the install.
sudo ./bootstrap.sh
./bootstrap.sh: line 2: aclocal: command not found
./bootstrap.sh: line 3: autoheader: command not found
./bootstrap.sh: line 4: automake: command not found
./bootstrap.sh: line 5: autoconf: command not found
a find / -iname "aclocal" gave me this.
/opt/X11/share/aclocal
that's ok i can check my path.
But i assumed i had everything else.
Alas no result with find / -iname auto header
i guess i need to do this on a linux box or try doing it in a windows vm ??
Anyone got it working on osx ??
am i missing something??
i'm new to this so forgive my ignorance..

NKRO keyboard expects that BISO/UEFI send 'set_protocol' request to turn into 6KRO(boot protocol) automatially. But this doesn't work with some hardwares I don't know whether problem is located on the hardwares or TMK at this point.

Firmware on keymap editor supports NKRO by default, it causes problem in some situations. You can change rollover mode between NKRO and 6KRO by pressing both shifts and 'n'. Try the key combo in BIOS adn GRUB.
Perfect, works like a charm!

I have not done anything fancy yet, just flashed this (http://www.tmk-kbd.com/tmk_keyboard/editor/unimap/?fc660c_emu#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) since I am too busy with my finals.
I installed it with sudo dfu-programmer atmega32u4 erase --force && sudo dfu-programmer atmega32u4 flash unimap.hex && sudo dfu-programmer atmega32u4 reset
Grub version: grub 2:2.02-1, installed with arch linux. It doesn't work in vanilla grub nor with grub-customizer.
My motherboard is a P8Z68-V Pro/Gen3, bios version: 3802
Funny thing is it actually detects the keyboard, because if I don't have any it throws a warning.
So if anyone knows a workaround or something it would be much appreciated, thanks!
just tried it with an old laptop i have but different os/ and hardware stil linux and grubby.
Fedora was able to go in to bios. and able to stop boot and go in to grub exit . boot up and try all functions i had programmed in.
volume up/down l2.
this is my map https://goo.gl/1MnCfM but i like your F15,16,17,18 location could be useful ..
Sorry i'm no help, only thing my try shows is that the keyboard is works in certain grub versions or hardware type.
only thing i could think of is trying to boot from a life distro something like ubuntu and seeing if you can do everything there. that would eliminate your hardware as being the problem.
hope you find a solution let us know i'm curios to know. Certainly because it's linux ;-)

i'm doing my best finding my way and trying to understand what i'm doing instead of blindly copying a map.
one thing i'm trying to understand is they layers. Perhaps a dum question but why are my charters under the numbers row working?
isn't that Layer1? accessible by "LM1 L" (left shift) and "Lm1 R" (right shift)..My layer 1 is empty so how come it works fine ..???
can someone tell me what i'm missing?
this is my map currently https://goo.gl/1MnCfM
thanks guys.

Hi guys,TRNS looks to the first layer below it to find the key. In this case, since every key but esc is TRNS, it will just look back at Layer0 and use that key instead of having it's own. If you set it to NO it wouldn't do anything. Esc is set to ` so if you do shift+esc instead of registering shift+esc it will read it as shift+` and make a ~. Similarly, if you hit FN and then Z, since it has transparency on layer 2, it will look down to layer one, and since it has transparency on layer 1, it will look at layer 0, then it should output the letter 'z' normally.

And I'm happy to announce fix for long-pending the biggest problem "Modifier/Layer stuck" finally. I updated source code repository on github and keymap editor for FC660C controller the other day, the fix is alreadly available.Very cool! Thanks a ton, and congrats on the fix.

If i’m correct one can only have four modifiers at the most.
so looking at my Key-map i wondered why i had two
Action_Layer_Mods ; Layer 1 ; R-shift
And the same for the left shift.
instead i experimented OneShot Modifiers .
Action_Mods_Oneshot ; L-shift.
Why would one use this i thought to my self?
i could save one of those modifer actions and give me the ease of quick switching.
i’m trying to optimise layer switching without and looking at the options available
and understand how to use them.
What do you guys think of this approach?
Also added switch layer 3 on right alt. Where i tested sysSleep (doesn’t work on a macbook). And SysPower that does put my mbp to sleep. Also added M as mute to test if i’m in the correct layer ..
btw if your asking your self why i placed Pause and ScrolLock on layer2 i use those to function to dim my screen on my laptop.
that was be four i noticed F14 and F15 had the same function.
Just trying to learn more about the options :thumb:
here's my latest map..

What do you guys think of this approach?
If you want quick access to your function layer I would really recommend trying out SpaceFN. You can do so by setting your spacebar to be ACTION_LAYER_TAP_KEY with space and the function layer you want to change to. By tapping space you get a space, but if you hold it down it acts as a function shifter. The one shot seems like a neat idea for capitalising words, but I feel confident in my ability to hold down the shift for that ;)
Also, I'm a big noob when it comes to TMK, could someone explain to me how to program the LED on the insert key? I have come from a HHKB with hasu controller, where I didn't need to bother with LEDs at all ^-^

WOW. Only just tried it - but WOW. Seems SO useful.Thanks alot! Any more tips? I have got the caps lock as backspace. Also been trying out oneshotting the shift keys - but not holding down the shift keys for capital letters will be a tough habit to break.

Awsome works out great thanks.. :thumb: :thumb:
playing around with it, just thought to look at my hand movement's and what takes to most hand acrobatics and reduce that.
without complicating things to much hahaha...
Added this to layer4 accessible with spacebar..
w,a,s,d = wheelUP,wheelLeft,wheelDown,wheelRight
i,j,k,l = mouseUp,mouseLeft,mouseDown,mouseRight
1,2,3,4,5 = mousebuton,1,2,3,4,5
f=backspace,g=enter
cool !!!
only one thing missing , i wanted to do but stil havent figured it out yet..
Perhaps someone knows if it's possible ??
what i tried to do with the backspace and enter key was move as much of those harder to reach keys when your hand are on the home row to the center. now i want to do the same with LGui and spacebar. So if i wanted to move those two keys to for example say e and r how would i do that?? if even possible perhaps i'm going about this the wrong way??

yes you can place GUI and spacebar on layer 4. with the latest firmware it should be no problem.
Do i need to flash my board or do i have the latest firmware . to be honest havent looked in to that yet. :D
btw; loving my controller best thing since sliced bread..i can't stop mentioning it to friends and on the interweb..hahaha

I recently updated Keymap Editor for this controller, so you are using the latest firmware if you get it from there.
Before the update you couldn't place modifier on alpha area due to this limitation.

Might just be me screwing up somehow, but when placing "mail" (using TMK) on any key chrome opens up. No other hiccups. It works GREAT :)
Confirmed it sends correct keycode for "Mail" key. I guess it depends on configuration of your OS.

i often use the pipe sign | above the backslash in Linux and wanted to experiment with putting often used keys more in the middle of my keyboard.
Currently i have the backslash under layer4 H but i need to add shift to it.
Would be awesome if i could put that in a layer without needing to add a shift to it.
Don't know how to do it or if it's possible at al ;)
Thanks guys

oh 100 euro is generous. good to know, didn't know France have such laxer customs than uk. I thought EU countries have similar tight rules.
100e is very generous, the cutoff in Portugal is just under 25 euro - electronics like this usually fly under the radar though if they are marked around that, they have no idea what they are and usually they're too lazy to check.

On Windows10 the key seems to start 'Photo viewer' for unknown reason, totally weird lol. 'Email' key of my Realforce RGB also suffers from same behaviour, I don't think it is bug of TMK.
You can configure this behaviour at Settings>System>Apps for websites>Photo viewer.

Installed, tested. Works perfectly. I'm curious about playing with leds. Do you tips? I saw this https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/blob/master/keyboard/fc660c/unimap_emu.c#L59-L63
Right, that code controls Inser led.
Insert and Capslock led are connected to PB5 and PB6 pin respectively. Leds light up when the pins are low(0).
Capslock led indicates capslock state normally here. If you use Capslock led for other purpose you will want to remove these code.

Thanks. For the moment the only way I found to put the insert led on is by setting one keycap to layer1 (insert in my case: https://goo.gl/B8mAvr) but I succeed only when using tmk website. I'm probably tired and skipped a part or a keycap for L1.

I'm loving my Alt Controller everything is working great.
Here is my latest keymapping on OSX 10.9 (old don't want to update) running on my late 2012 Macbook Pro.
https://goo.gl/XgQiqL
on Level 3, accessed via right alt key s= Sys sleep; P=system Power both seem to do the same put my MBP connected to external monitor go to sleep.
Got my ` and ~ signs working well under level 1 just how i want them no issues there.
Only would be nice , and never got it to work options are.
- Ctrl+Shift+Eject to put your Mac's displays to sleep
- Opt+Cmd+Eject to instantly put your Mac to sleep
Also nice would be start screen saver but that would probably involve using automator service and mapping a key to it.
i would love to know if anyone has these options working. For now i'm using hot corners but that sucks because of accidental activation..
@Hasu please feel free to use my email / contact if you ever make / start a new group buy for a different controller ahhaha.
i'm really impressed with this controller and think every non programmable keyboard should come with it..
Post by: hasu on Mon, 16 October 2017, 21:22:26
Thanks for sharing your ideas and configuration. Good to look.
hm, I guess Eject on Mac is different from standard HID eject key and apple specific.
Post by: tuxkey on Fri, 17 November 2017, 02:53:00
you can make insert LED light with FN+q and caps one with FN+Tab.
Hi Hasu,
Don't know if this post is still active but after looking to all the posts i could find in regards to a question i have before asking.
i could not find the answer except this one i quote.
i really did my best to understand this explanation but can't figure it out.. sorry ..
i would love it if i can get the insert light to turn on when i have CapsLock on so both light turn on.
i have bin messing around with bash scripting and mysql statements so i put CapsLock back on my base level as i now use it often but forget that it's on because my hands cover the key. To see if it's on i have to lift my hands up ..but the insert light sits there doing nothing would be AWESOME if i could use that please please if any one knows the answer..
btw on a side note.. tried out the k-type with that programing and i might not utilize TMK to it's fullest potential but i already prefer it above the input Club features hahaha..also i returned it because of a bunch of problems.. so now i'm back om my FC660C with Awsome Hasu controller nothing better in life :thumb:

that quatation is valid only when you use default firmware with "Emu" keymap downloaded from keymap editor(same as initial firmaware shipped with controller). With the firmware you can test the two LEDs with those key strokes; FN+q and FN+Tab.
With default firmware(Emu or Plain) the LEDs are controlled as decribed in first post. You have to write code when you want to control them different way than this.
Quote
LED control
CapsLock LED indicates CapsLock state naturally in both Plain and Emu firmware.
Insert LED never light up with Plain firmware, which suits for people who have no plan on the LED or regard it distractive. Emu firmware turns Insert LED on when Layer 1 is activated, you can you can place your keymap there and make it indicator for your keymap state.
Not a fan of these behaviour? You can do anything with the LEDs if you willing to write small code, of course.
Insert and Capslock LED are connected to PB5
https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/blob/master/keyboard/fc660c/fc660c.c#L129-L136
Like this? I didn't test though. Just 'make' to test.
Code: [Select]
void led_set(uint8_t usb_led)
{
if (usb_led & (1<<USB_LED_CAPS_LOCK)) {
PORTB &= ~(1<<5 | 1<<6);
} else {
PORTB |= (1<<5 | 1<<6);
}
}

With the Christmas around the corner and the end of the year is almost upon us.
i wanted to thank you for your awesome work on the FC660C controller. Couple of days ago i was looking around on mechmarket and found a couple of HHKB.
The first thing that came to mind was Hasu controller and the HHKB is truly a happy hacking keyboard...but without Hasu controller it's just a good topre board nothing special about it.. :thumb: :thumb:
in the world of keyboards your controller is changed and added to my keyboard enjoyment everyday in 2017.
wish you and your loved ones all the best for 2018.
Hope to see more of your awesome projects in the new year.
take care ..

I recently ordered 2x of these great controllers from you and I just wanted to respond here and say thank you so much! I already loved my FC660Cs, but now, I love them even more!
I was able to do most everything with your webtool, until I wanted to get the light to turn on. Thanks to all the history in this thread, I was able to figure out how to download the source from your github and fine tune the lights using the firmware generated via C. Thanks so much for your board and for the brave souls who figured out the lights in the previous comments.
Cheers,
