Kailh vs Gateron Hot Swap Sockets

I was able to get my hands on a Gateron sockets. Product listing states that its part number is CPG151101S11 which is the same as Kailh's sockets. Initial inspection shows that the measurements sure looks identical and should fit on any PCB design for the later. Placing the sockets on PCB, shows that Kailh seems to be more thin. Photo above show Kailh on the left and Gateron on the right. There's a small hole on Gateron's fin(?) making bigger solder contact. Clips for switch pins also seems bigger compared to Kailh's. These seems to be a nice improvement but only time will tell. One P9 released in the wild have these sockets on. If you happen to receive it, let me know. Cheers!

How to _____ in VIA?

This post is a work in progress. I will keep on updating this post as soon as I have time. Thanks VIA is a third party remapping software for QMK powered keyboards - this includes Pabile Keyboards. VIA allows remapping of keys on the fly and save it on the keyboard's memory. As of writing, Pabile Keyboards are not yet fully supported by VIA. For VIA to detect these keyboards, one (file) needs to be uploaded to the software. Please follow the instruction specific for your kit. This FAQ page might also be of great help: https://pabileonline.blogspot.com/p/faq-for-pabile-keyboards.html . I use VIA on my personal keyboards so my approach here might differ from some. Please leave a comment should you have/know the proper way to do these things. LAYERS Understanding layers: https://docs.qmk.fm/#/feature_layers?id=layers For this article, we will just use the commonly used togles: TG(layer) and LT(layer,kc) TG(layer) Assigned key toggles a layer, activating it if it’s inac

Introduction to P18: An 18-key DIY Macropad Kit

IMPORTANT! Adafruit Feather 32U4 Bluefruit LE will not work with this PCB. Please use Pro Micro only. So...this new do-it-yourself kit is an 18-key macro-pad with hotswap-pability and uses cheap pro micro OR a not so cheap Bluefruit LE of Adafruit micro-controllers . This macro-pad is intended for those who are new to mechanical keyboards, still searching for the perfect switch, and or, those that want wireless connectivity. By design, the grid is a 4x4 plus 2 (+1 only if Bluefruit will be used) . Two of these keys can accommodate EC11 Rotary Encoders. A render with Bluefruit controller. Bottom view/render with Kailh sockets installed. The PCB Aside from the Pro Micro, this PCB accepts Adafruit's 32U4 Bluefruit LE as its alternate controller. This will enable the PCB to be accessed via Bluetooth if paired with a Lithium Polymer (LiPo) battery. The casing I am currently designing can accommodate a battery with dimension 29mm x 36mm x 4.75mm (LxWxH). This s
