About that, let’s see how to create a layout.Ĭreate and export a layout with EasyAVR to USBĮasyAVR (by metalliqaz) is certainly the easiest way to create its firmware (It has a GUI !) If you are a more programmer kind of guy you’ll certainly prefer other firmware (the list is available here) I asked bpiphany about the tools to create layouts and firmwares (according to my personal purpose). Don’t close your case until you have loaded your own firmware. There is a chance that a firmware is already loaded so the keyboard may work immediately. So classy (even if hided in the case after)Īnd here it is ! The ghost squid is the new commander. Keep in mind that you can put it back if you have any problems with your new controller or if you want to restore the keyboard to the original state. The top part removed, you just have to pull the original controller. My 42 school card, an appropriate tool ^^ Take one of your old student card and slide into the gap. Once unscrewed it’s time to open the case, there are 4 clips that maintains the two parts together on the QF-XT. Carefully check that everything works correctly on your keyboard before starting the operation. But no surprise here, it’s the same with almost all electronic devices. So yes, there is a bad side, as you open the keyboard you are canceling the warranty. It’s time to happily void the warranty (the small sticker pointed by my accusing finger). Red circles : screws positions, arrows : clips positions The backside of the printed board contains the circuit and the reed switch (transparent tube just under the mail) to trigger the bootloader, I’ll come back to this later, just remember where it is. The controller comes well protected in bubble wrap and an antistatic bag The guy is super reactive and kindly answered all my questions. It’s detailed and sum up almost everything I’m gonna cover here.įirst I have to say that the shipment of the chip I ordered to bpiphany was really fast (received it 2 days after my payment). This video show the installation of a frosty flake controller on a CM storm quickfire-rapid. You will find all the available controllers and associated keyboards on his website. This means that we can replace it with a programmable controller ! That’s why I ordered a custom controller named ghost squid !īut where does this special controller come from ? Well, it was designed by a swedish guy known under the nickname bpiphany. It’s one of those who have a detachable controller chip (on most models it’s soldered on the PCB). I finally buyed a mechanical keyboard ! The CM storm quick fire XT - cherry MX brown, qwerty US.Ĭherry MX brown switch, classic and efficient
