Customisation

DK60TP allows some customisations like RGB underglow and caps lock led.

Capslock led

Capslock led can be tuned to :

  • enable internal led
  • disabled it
  • use external led

To do this you need to play with the 3 pins connector placed near the reset button.

Pinout

  • 1 : +Vled
  • 2 : Integrated led
  • 3 : GND

Example

Integrated led

Place a jumper between pin 1 and 2.

External led

Connect your led and resistor between pin 1 and 3.

Disable led

Remove the jumper or place it between pin 2 and 3.

RGB underglow

To add more leds (use WS2812B with capacitor) simply use RGB connector on the mainboard.

⚠️ Do not connect RGB connector if you use the second PCB (those with mouse buttons).

Firmware

DK60TP still in development and for now does not have associate firmware, but it will be supported by QMK firmware.

Used softwares
