MechMerlin’s DZ60 Keymap
The purpose of this keymap is to provide examples on how to do some common QMK features.
Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
make dz60:mechmerlin## Merlin’s DZ60 Hardware Info
The DZ60 is a 60% pcb produced by KBDFans. It comes in two variants, USB Mini B and USB C. It supports many many layouts. It also supports both backlight and RGB underglow. The USB C variant does not have a hardware reset switch. USB C to C is not supported.
Merlin’s DZ60 uses - Layout B, in QMK this is LAYOUT_60_b_ansi. - USB C - 50g Zilents - Arrows are 78g Zilents - KPRepublic XD64 Case
## Layers
Merlin’s keymap has three different layers. To switch layers you can
use the MO(X) keycode, where X is the layer
you want to switch to.
_BL
This is the base layer also known as layer 0. It is a standard QWERTY
layout. It has the _FL layer switch key.
_FL
This is the function layer also known as layer 1. It utiizes the
following: - Function Keys - Navigation Keys - Audio keys such as Mute,
Volume Down and Volume Up. - _CL layer switch key
_CL
This is the control layer also known as layer 2. It utilizes the
following: - RGB Controls - RESET key
## Non Standard Keycodes
RESET
As long BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE is set to yes in
rules.mk, the DZ60 can be put into bootloader mode by
holding the space key and the b key while
plugging in. However sometmes this doesn’t work or is troublesome to do,
might as well use the RESET keycode to accomplish this.
RSFT_T(KC_SLSH)
Layout B is missing the ? key and is instead replaced
with a right shift. This keycode makes it so that the key
can be tapped for ? and held for
right shift.
LCTL_T(KC_CAPS)
Caps Lock is only ever used by tapping, why not use it
as a control key when held? This keycode makes it so that
the key can be tapped for caps lock and held for
control.
## RGB Lighting
RGBLIGHT_SLEEP
This is set in mechmerlin/config.h so that when the
computer goes to sleep, the RGB lights will also go to sleep on the
keyboard. They will turn back on when the computer wakes.
RGB Underglow Color: Yellow
This is set in mechmerlin/keymap.c in the
matrix_init_user function. The list of available colors can
be found in quantum/rgblight_list.h.
