This is for K8 RGB v2 ANSI.
Here is the template keymap : https://imgur.com/a/rZqxYul
-FN+{
F1 = F13,
F2 = F14,
F3 = F15,
F4 = F16,
Print key = F17,
MIc key = F18,
appkey/option = F19,
Light_bulb_key = toogle RGB,
minus key = less light from leds,
plus key = more light from leds,
right key = change rgb mode,
Left key = change rgb mode,
Up/down key = more/less saturation,
Ins/Del key = change the Ritme of the RBG FX,
}
Option key = App key/contextual menu
#Comand to compile it qmk compile -kb keychron/k8/rgb/ansi -km via
All media keys work like it should
#about the rgb FX
if someone happen to know how to put that one pale desaturated after the white solid from the keychron, let me know.
In case that you mess things up, relax you can always put in DFU mode and flash stock firmware from the keychron web site
This fork is intended to bring QMK to the Keychron K8.
If you have never touched QMK before: https://beta.docs.qmk.fm/tutorial/newbs_getting_started
Progress:
- QMK custom keymaps are working properly
- RGB works properly, no more flickering
- Bluetooth does not work, currently waiting for QMK to release an official Bluetooth API
- VIA does not work, currently no EEPROM support
Setup repo + dependencies
- Clone this repository: https://github.com/SonixQMK/qmk_firmware (Use the most recent branch)
- In the root of the
qmk_firmware
directory, run these commands:git submodule add https://github.com/SonixQMK/ChibiOS-Contrib.git
make git-submodule
- You should be able to compile firmwares now:
- Open QMK_MSYS, cd to the qmk_firmware directory root, then run
make keychron/k8:ansi
- Open QMK_MSYS, cd to the qmk_firmware directory root, then run
Instructions on how to flash QMK to the K8:
- Customize your keymap and compile your firmware
- Keymaps can be found under
keyboards/keychron/k8
- For example, if you want a firmware for the Keychron K8 ANSI, edit the
keymap.c
underkeyboards/keychron/k8/keymaps/ansi
- Then run
qmk compile -kb keychron/k8/rgb/ansi -km via
in QMK_MSYS
- Keymaps can be found under
- Download this flashing tool and run it: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/files/5862715/SONiX_USB_MCU_ISP_Tool_V2.3.1.7-.zip
- Click 'Load File' and select
SN32F24xB
on the right, then choose your *.hex QMK firmware file - VID -
0C45
, PID -7040
, safe option "leave the standart" - Put your K8 into DFU/bootloader mode:
- Remove the spacebar and short the
BOOT
pin toP7
pin - Note: There are 5 pins on the left of the spacebar switch,
BOOT
andP7
are the two rightmost pins, turn off, put the clip and turn on again(You can use a paper clip)
- Remove the spacebar and short the
- Connect your K8 to your computer
- Click 'Flash' in the Sonix flashing tool
- Enjoy
- Ability to safely flash bootloader
- Ability to revert to factory firmware
- Confirm Chibios functionality
- Get QMK Working
- Get RGB working
- Get VIA working (currently no EEPROM support, which is required for VIA)
- (For some people it will work, for some it wont, I'm using windows 11, so it dont for people using windows 10 or less it may, but just in windows)
- Bluetooth functionality (currently waiting on official Bluetooth support from QMK)
- Main MCU - HFD2201KBA - appears to be based on/clone of SONIX SN32F24xB
- Bt module CYPRESS CYW20730A2KFBG
- Charge IC - TPU5000
