# DK60TP
Mechanical keyboard with backlit, rgb underglow and Trackpoint support.
:warning: Still in development :warning:
## Features
- Poker case compatible (if you don't use Trackpoint)
- IBM Trackpoint
- Many layouts
- Backlit
- RGB underglow
- Open Hardware
## Supported layouts

## PCB render

## 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.
:warning: 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
I've only used Open Source software to make all parts of this project.
List of used softwares:
* OS: Debian
* Kicad
* QCad
* Freecad
* ...
## Third party
Libraries and footprints are provided by Hasu, /u/techieee, mohitg11 and me.
