1 # Dactyl Kinesis 2 3 Essentially a Dactyl CC physical key layout with an additional top row, further emulating the Kinesis Advantage (*1|2*) physical key layout. 4 5 * Keyboard Maintainer: [dmik](https://github.com/dmik) 6 * Hardware Supported: Pro Micro controller, or clone of 7 8 Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment): 9 10 make handwired/dactyl_kinesis:default 11 12 Flashing example for this keyboard: 13 14 make handwired/dactyl_kinesis:default:flash 15 16 See the [build environment setup](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_build_tools) and the [make instructions](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_make_guide) for more information.

It is intended for possible extensions. 30 31 ### Keymap 32 33 Main QUERTY layer: 34 ,-------------------------------------------. ,-------------------------------------------. 35 | ESC | F1 | F2 | F3 | F4 | F5 | | F6 | F7 | F8 | F9 | F10 | CAPS | 36 |--------+------+------+------+------+------| |------+------+------+------+------+--------| 37 | = | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 0 | - | 38 |--------+------+------+------+------+------| |------+------+------+------+------+--------| 39 | Tab | Q | W | E | R | T | | Y | U | I | O | P | \ | 40 |--------+------+------+------+------+------| |------+------+------+------+------+--------| 41 | LCtl | A | S | D | F | G | | H | J | K | L | ; | ' | 42 |--------+------+------+------+------+------| |------+------+------+------+------+--------| 43 | LShift | Z | X | C | V | B | | N | M | , | . | / | RShift | 44 `--------+------+------+------+------+------' `------+------+------+------+------+--------' 45 | ` | LOWER| Left | Rght | | Up | Dn | [ | ] | 46 `---------------------------' `---------------------------' 47 ,-------------. ,-------------. 48 | LGui | LAlt | | RCtl | RGui | 49 ,------|------|------| |------+------+------. 50 | | | Home | | PgUp | | | 51 | BkSp | Del |------| |------|Enter |Space | 52 | | | End | | PgDn | | | 53 `--------------------' `--------------------' 54 55 LOWER layer: 56 ,-------------------------------------------. ,-------------------------------------------. 57 | | F11 | F12 | | | | |BriDn |BriUp |VMute |VolDn |VolUp | | 58 |--------+------+------+------+------+------| |------+------+------+------+------+--------| 59 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 60 |--------+------+------+------+------+------| |------+------+------+------+------+--------| 61 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 62 |--------+------+------+------+------+------| |------+------+------+------+------+--------| 63 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 64 |--------+------+------+------+------+------| |------+------+------+------+------+--------| 65 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 66 `--------+------+------+------+------+------' `------+------+------+------+------+--------' 67 | | | | | | | | | | 68 `---------------------------' `---------------------------' 69 ,-------------. ,-------------. 70 | | | | | | 71 ,------|------|------| |------+------+------. 72 | | | | | | | | 73 | | INS |------| |------| | | 74 | | | | | | | | 75 `--------------------' `--------------------' 76 77 ### Key Matrix Wiring 78 79 The below picture shows correspondence between the keys and the row/column wires of the left and 80 right halves: 81 82 ,-------------------------------------------. ,-------------------------------------------. 83 | L00 | L01 | L02 | L03 | L04 | L05 | | R00 | R01 | R02 | R03 | R04 | R05 | 84 |--------+------+------+------+------+------| |------+------+------+------+------+--------| 85 | L10 | L11 | L12 | L13 | L14 | L15 | | R10 | R11 | R12 | R13 | R14 | R15 | 86 |--------+------+------+------+------+------| |------+------+------+------+------+--------| 87 | L20 | L21 | L22 | L23 | L24 | L25 | | R20 | R21 | R22 | R23 | R24 | R25 | 88 |--------+------+------+------+------+------| |------+------+------+------+------+--------| 89 | L30 | L31 | L32 | L33 | L34 | L35 | | R30 | R31 | R32 | R33 | R34 | R35 | 90 |--------+------+------+------+------+------| |------+------+------+------+------+--------| 91 | L40 | L41 | L42 | L43 | L44 | L45 | | R40 | R41 | R42 | R43 | R44 | R45 | 92 `--------+------+------+------+------+------' `------+------+------+------+------+--------' 93 | L50 | L51 | L52 | L53 | | R52 | R53 | R54 | R55 | 94 `---------------------------' `---------------------------' 95 ,-------------. ,-------------. 96 | L64 | L65 | | R60 | R61 | 97 ,------|------|------| |------+------+------. 98 | | | L63 | | R62 | | | 99 | L54 | L55 |------| |------| R50 | R51 | 100 | | | L62 | | R63 | | | 101 `--------------------' `--------------------' 102 103 ## Bootloader 104 105 Enter the bootloader in 3 ways: 106 107 * **Bootmagic reset**: Hold down the key at (0,0) in the matrix (usually the top left key or Escape) and plug in the keyboard 108 * **Physical reset button**: Briefly press the button on the back of the PCB - some may have pads you must short instead 109 * **Keycode in layout**: Press the key mapped to `QK_BOOT` if it is available
