FAQ (Frequently asked questions) and info
Common
What does the 1% mean? Pearlboards keyboards are very limited, sold years apart and offered with unseen amounts of options and features. The 1% mentality is not at all being about the best/elite/most expensive/rarest/most popular. It's simply the truth that because of unique design, time, availability and price, not everyone will want/own one of these mechs, and the few who do are the without a doubt the 1% of demographics within this huge community
You mentioned an Atlas65 board, but is already an Atlas65 and Atlas keyboard? The original Atlas name was changed to "ATLAS65" by request of NASP (Ortho Atlas designer). "Atlas65" was conceived both in design and in renders AND shared before the Pantheon Labs Atlas65. I am sure there will be no issues distinguishing them as I am branding it as "Atlas65 By Pearlboards"
How do we purchase a ZEUSPAD numpad? It will be ran with the Zeus TKL, and you can purchase it by itself
Which PCB is standard with a purchase? QMK solder PCB is the standard. The QMK hotswap, BT solder and BT hotswap will be extra
Will I be able to choose single case colors during the GB? Yes, that is standard. Two-tone options will be reserved for Special Editions
How long does the smallest 150mah batter last on the Zeus TKL? 5 hours
How does the DAC and audio jack work? When you plug Zeus into a computer, it will recognize the DAC as an audio device. You can then set that as your audio output
How does the internal audio speaker work? In your audio settings, set your DAC as your audio output. Both the speaker and the audio jack will output audio as the speaker piggy backs off the DAC
ZMK
What is ZMK? The firmware equivalent to QMK, used for the wireless Bluetooth PCBs - ZMK How do you flash ZMK? Similarly to QMK, you build the firmware, double tap the physical reset button and flash with a pc
How does ZMK work? Similar to QMK, except you can pair and switch between many devices while wired or unwired
Does ZMK work without a battery? Yes, you never have to use it wirelessly or unwired if you don't want to. Just leave the battery out or turn it off
How is the wireless performance/latency? Excellent, no issues seen on my end
Should I pick a ZMK or QMK PCB? Both are amazing gifts to the keyboard world and it all depends on your lifestyle
QMK
What is Haptic Feedback? A tiny QMK configurable circular motor you solder onto the PCB that vibrates to provide rumble when typing
What is a Piezo Speaker? A tiny QMK configurable device soldered on the PCB that produces audible beeps and can play 8-bit tunes
What can I do with the rear Rotary Encoder? It has 3 (push, rotate clockwise and counterclockwise) programmable functions which can be mapped to any keycodes
What can I do with the OLED Screen? It comes pre-flashed, but can also program that one with QMK or ZMK if you dive into the code
Other
Where do I find a 10U spacebar and stabs? On my website, or you can harvest it off a vintage board
