About this repo

• This repository contains the files that are used to customize my keyboards.
• The scripts init_bm40.sh and init_xd75.sh will clone the QMK firmware and symlink these keyboard files on it.
• After installing QMK and running the init script with source init_bm40.sh or source init_xd75.sh, qmk cli should work just fine to compile and flash.

Compatibility

This layout was tested with the keyboards listed below, but can be easily adapted to any ortholinear or column staggered QMK keyboard with at least 32 keys, with 2 of them on each thumb.

• kprepublic/bm40hsrgb
• xiudi/xd75

Some features are not available on all keyboards though. For instance, the BM40 does not support Dynamic Macros, while the XD75 doesn't have per key RGB.

There is a port of this keymap to ZMK, to be released soon.
