| 9 | \section{Introduction}
|
|---|
| 10 | When I finally got my TECK, I was left a bit puzzled.
|
|---|
| 11 |
|
|---|
| 12 | Thus I decided to write this guide to ease the entry for future buyers
|
|---|
| 13 | and let them enjoy their new keyboard quickly.
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | Adapting to the Truly layout can take a couple of days in the beginning.
|
|---|
| 16 | That is just natural. Let's not be bothered by it and make Neo more usable.
|
|---|
| 17 | \section{Running Neo}
|
|---|
| 18 | At the backside of your keyboard, you find a few switches that are ON by default.
|
|---|
| 19 | Set the DIP switch \#5 to OFF to make your keyboard reprogrammable.
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 | Now Neo should run on the Truly Ergonomic keyboard when running on your machine.
|
|---|
| 22 | \subsection{Linux xmodmap}
|
|---|
| 23 | If using an xmodmap under Linux, you need to re-run it using:
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | \definecolor{blue}{HTML}{DCEEEE}
|
|---|
| 26 | \fcolorbox{black}{blue}{setxkbmap lv \&\&
|
|---|
| 27 | xset -r 51 \&\&
|
|---|
| 28 | xmodmap /path/foo.xmodmap}
|
|---|
| 29 | \section{Adapting for Neo}
|
|---|
| 30 | Writing with Neo, you will want to get a custom layout for comfortable access to all layers.
|
|---|
| 31 | Look at the suggested layouts in the \href{http://wiki.neo-layout.org/wiki/Hardwareentwicklung/Truly}{wiki article.}
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | The matrix layout alters the position of a few keys and therefore will feel inconvenient while typing.
|
|---|
| 34 | View the diagram at the top of the wiki article for full reference.
|
|---|
| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 | For further editing a suggested layout or testing a completely different design, use the \href{https://www.trulyergonomic.com/store/layout-designer--configurator--reprogrammable--truly-ergonomic-mechanical-keyboard}{Layout designer}.
|
|---|
| 37 |
|
|---|
| 38 | \textbf{There are two things you should know:}
|
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 | When moving around letters, you are referring to \textbf{positions only}, not specific keys!
|
|---|
| 41 | Thus, remapping the \textbf{F} key in the designer changes the position of \textbf{E} in Neo.
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | \textbf{Mod4 left} is adressed by \textit{ISO2} (you can find this key by
|
|---|
| 44 | selecting the ISO — International layout), \textbf{Mod4 right} corresponds to \textit{RAlt}.
|
|---|
| 45 | This is important when your driver hits on problems with left Mod4 (which is the case at all Linux xmodmaps).
|
|---|
| 46 | \section{Firmware Upgrade}
|
|---|
| 47 | \begin{flushleft}
|
|---|
| 48 | Download the latest firmware \href{http://www.trulyergonomic.com/TrulyErgonomic\_Firmware\_Upgrade\_v3\_40.zip}{here}.\linebreak
|
|---|
| 49 | Unzip it.\linebreak
|
|---|
| 50 | Execute TrulyErgonomic\_Device\_Firmware\_Upgrade.exe\linebreak
|
|---|
| 51 | Click on 'Load' and select your hexfile.\linebreak
|
|---|
| 52 | Click 'Update'.
|
|---|
| 53 | \end{flushleft}
|
|---|
| 54 | Congratulations, your keyboard should work now.
|
|---|
| 55 |
|
|---|
| 56 | The full process is also described in more detail \href{https://www.trulyergonomic.com/store/firmware-upgrade--truly-ergonomic-mechanical-keyboard}{here} on the company's website.
