This repository contains firmware for my custom splitted keyboard with nordic design. The keyboard I'm using is a Sofle by Josef Adamchik. This firmware is based on the QMK firmware.
This layout consists of multiple layers. The layout have different layer keys that changes the layout to another layer when it's pressed. The layer keys are marked as LAYER on the layer keys in the illustration below.
Layer 1 is almost a standard nordic keyboard layout with a few exceptions. Layer 2 will activate if holding the yellow button on this layer.
Layer 2 has arrow keys at the WASD keys. Layer 3 will activate if the SHIFT key is pressed in this layer. Layer 4 will activate if the F key is pressed in this layer. Layer 5 will activate if the G key is pressed in this layer. This layer does also contain a macro record and macro play key. The layer has backslash at the 7 key.
Layer 3 contains the pipe key at the 7 key.
This layer contains all the function keys.
This layer is a layer dedicated to setting the keyboard in gaming mode. It's only changing one key at the moment, adding an extra spacebar instead of the left return key. This is to prevent moving the wrist during gaming.
The illustration does not show the rotors on the keyboard. The keyboard consists of two rotors. The rotor on the right side controls the volume on the system. When this rotor is pressed, it mutes the audio. The left rotor controls media. You can use this rotor to fast forward / rewind media on the system. When rotor is pressed, it pauses/resumes media on the system.
