# 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

## Features

DK60TP allows some customisations like RGB underglow, caps lock led or mouse emulation by using trackpoint.

For all pinout above, `pin 1` is represented by the square hole.

### Trackpoint

To use trackpoint you need to connect the `MOUSE PCB` with the `MAIN PCB`. Trackpoint need to be connected to the `MOUSE PCB`.

#### Pinout

1. Vcc
2. GND
3. D2 (data)
4. reset
5. D5 (clock)

### 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 (square pin)
* 2: Integrated led
* 3: GND

#### Example

##### Integrated led
Place a jumper between pin 1 and 2.

##### External led
Connect your led 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).

#### Pinout

* 1: Vcc (square pin)
* 2: GND
* 3: Din

## 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
* ...

## Kicad tips

* Usergrid (for MX placement): 0.09375 inches
* Usergrid (for Led placement): 0.1968504 inches
* Gap between Grid origin and edge cut: 
   - X: 0.53
   - Y: 0.50 mm
