Can anyone tell me whats the qmk keycode for a right click to show the menu in windows? I tried KC_MENU without success

Try KC_APP

I did tried KC_APPLICATION which is the same - right?

Yes, same thing. If you want an actual right mouse click you have to enable Mouse Keys (if it isn't already enabled) and use the codes in the mousekey section https://github.com/jackhumbert/qmk_firmware/blob/master/tmk_core/common/keycode.h

Are you sure? I mean the keyboard usually have a menu key (at the bottom right, the forleast key) - which is now mapped to a layer...

Hey jisaak, sorry for the late reply. Was busy during the weekend. Anyway, I found a defective PCB with the same issue and I'm not sure why it's happening. If I can't figure it out I'll just send you a replacement PCB.

Hi,

I haven't received my order yet and I haven't received any response from Sentraq (info@sentraq.com). On 11 Jan Brandon told me he would probably ship within a week.
So on 19 Jan I sent another email asking for any progress. No response. I sent another on 23 Jan and still no response.
Can I know the status of my order?
The lack of communication makes me worry.

Thanks

I think a replacement PCB will be needed. Are you able to desolder?

Ctrl should work if everything is correct. Did you check the diode and the soldering on those switches. For programming check out this site: http://qmk.sized.io/

download the hex file. download a program call atmel flip, open it, select usb, then choose the device to atmega32u4, press the reset button on the bottom of your board, open the usb connection in the program, run, the unplug and replug.

Hey, I've been super busy this whole week and am just now catching up. The replacements were delayed by CNY, but have arrived. So your order will ship this weekend. Sorry about the delay...

Tbh, I would buy some new zealios switches and solder them to the new PCB and Just replace it.

You'd still have to desolder the switches to be able to use the plate :/

Menu keys with wasd iirc. PM me what you want on your layout on keyboard-layout-editor and I can make it for you :thumb:

jisaak, I think I know what's wrong with your PCB actually. I think it may be a cold solder joint on the RGB LEDs.

Reflow DIN and DOUT for the LED's starting with 1, and going counter clockwise.

I finally put together my board this week and it looks like I also have 2 bottom RGB led's that flicker on and one RGB led right above it that doesnt turn on. Would this chart apply to me as well?

Use some jumper wires to wire it to one of the split backspace keys, then map that key to backspace and unmap the dead backspace key.

Just remelt the solder on the RGBs DIN and DOUT pins, you may have to add a tiny bit more. Going in the circle the only ones that you should have to do is the one before they start behaving oddly and the one after.

anyone have details of how to flash firmware on this?

very new to building keyboards.

got it soldered together just fine its looking dope though i have no clue how to use this thing. no idea how to change the RGB colors of the underglow nor are my in key LEDs working. to be honest im a little bummed there isnt more info out there about these things.

anyway i have the backspace button issue and would like to atleast flash the firmware to fix that. so any help much appreciated.

1. download and install FLIP (http://www.atmel.com/tools/FLIP.aspx)
2. Device -> Select: choose ATMega32U4
3. Settings -> Communication -> USB, FLIP should show the signature at this point (58 1E 95 87)
4. File -> Load HEX file: choose the hex firmware
5. click "Run"
6. after programming is done, disconnect the device from USB and connect again.

I can't get past step 3. When I select USB, I get a box that has Open, Close (grayed out), and Cancel. Hitting Open brings up a message saying "Could not Open USB device". FLIP also says Communication Off in the corner.

Moving back to before this, after I soldered all the switches in, I noticed that my backspace and bottom right switch (HHKB layout) don't seem to work when I tested them in Keyboard Tester. I desoldered and soldered in new switches for those, but no change. The solder joints look good to me and the pads don't seem lifted, either. Anyone know what the issue may be?

Wow, I am dumb, thank you. I just did the programming and flashing on my LJD61up the other week and I completely forgot about the button on the PCB. Since the board needs QMK, so I need to use something other than EasyKeymap (not that I'm good with that, either...) to create the layout/hex file, or is there something else I need to use?

Thank you very much! I'm not software-savvy when it comes to actually programming boards and thinking up layers, so I greatly appreciate the help! I'll give the QMK configurator a try and see how it goes.

Looks like it's shorting and activating a whole column. Check your soldering. If not, did you mess with any firmware?

Hey, thanks for the reply!

My soldering looks okay, but I'll give it a once over. I've not messed with the firmware yet, but it's on my to-do list.

Also, what is the button on the underside of the PCB for?

It puts it into programming mode so that you can put a new firmware on it

Ah, cool, thanks. I just flashed a new hex onto it using the guide at http://qmk.fm/keyboards/s60-x/ It's all over the place now. For example, if I press space, I get Alt. If I press 1, I get Windows Key. If I press 5, I get Ctrl, Alt and Shift simultaneously. Really not sure what to do tbh.

Ah, cool, thanks. I just flashed a new hex onto it using the guide at http://qmk.fm/keyboards/s60-x/ It's all over the place now. For example, if I press space, I get Alt. If I press 1, I get Windows Key. If I press 5, I get Ctrl, Alt and Shift simultaneously. Really not sure what to do tbh.

I wasn't able to find anything wrong from the pictures. Make sure there are no shorts on your board (two different areas connected by solder), and try wiping it with alcohol. If nothing works, I can send you a replacement.

Thanks! Sorry if this is a noobish question: what type of alcohol? I'm sure I can't just wipe it down with vodka!  ;D

Isopropyl alcohol, I believe 99% is what you should use.

Finished up my build today (first build) everything seems to be in working order, however, when the in-switch LEDs are in the lower two brightness settings they seem to flicker but in the higher two brightness settings they do not flicker.

 Did I mess up soldering something?

I'm having a similar issue, but only when a key is held down. The flickering is more intense the more to the right the key being pressed is. \ blinks the leds rapidly and LCTRL does only a very subtle dimming.

Does anyone have ideas what I should check for?

I have this as well and it seems to just be the power delivery.

Hey,

I haven't gotten my order yet.
I sent an email on the 23rd asking for any progress.
Can I know the status of my order?

Thanks!

^^ Same deal.

Received the delay email a while back, sent an email on the 22nd, haven't heard back yet.

Any info would be great, thanks.

My keyboard was working fine for a couple weeks. Now on the firmware I was running (deductivemonkee's) my LCTRL and CAPS are switched. I have tried flashing a few different hex files to it and they all have similar but different results (for example: LALT and CAPS swapped, CAPS in right place but cycles the in-switch LEDs). I have checked the PCB for shorts and cleaned it with alcohol -- no help.

Is this a PCB issue? There seem to have been some similar problems reported in this thread to what I am experiencing.

Unplug it. Hold down Space+Backspace while plugging it back in.

Perfect, thanks mate. I'll be sure to check out the rest of those options!

jisaak, I think I know what's wrong with your PCB actually. I think it may be a cold solder joint on the RGB LEDs.

Reflow DIN and DOUT for the LED's starting with 1, and going counter clockwise.

Can you explain me what to do? What you mean with Reflow? Im not familiar with PCB hardware - just barely able to solder....

Just remelt the solder on the RGBs DIN and DOUT pins, you may have to add a tiny bit more. Going in the circle the only ones that you should have to do is the one before they start behaving oddly and the one after.

Thanks for the explanation. Unfortunately, I was not able to fix it, instead I broke a diode which made my "O" stop working. I brought the board to a friend who was able to remove the broken diode and attached a new one. Now the keys are working again but the LED issue still exists :-(

Alright, well the replacement PCB's will be coming in this week.

Didn't received anything yet - any update?

The replacement PCB? Anyone who needed one should've had one shipped to them by now. Email me if you haven;t yet.

So I've tried numerous time to flah my new build with a S60-X RGB PCB & haven't had good results at all. I've tried using Flip & QMK with the DFU programmer. I either lose all functionality of the KB & under lighting with the switch LEDs being stuck on or have the KB itself functional but lose the under glow lighting & switch LEDs. What in the world do I need to do to get it functional & still be able to use the back lighting & switch LEDs? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am become extremely frustrated with this & am pretty mad about losing all the lighting functionality. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies!

Edit: So I'm a big idiot & didn't take enough time to really figure out how to use QMK + DFU programmer. I went back & read through ALL of the instructions & now have my board fully working with a custom Fn layer. Boy do I feel dumb, but  I am very happy now that I figured it out. :-[
