Keyboard

Feb 26, 2025

I love my keyboard! It’s a split mechanical keyboard built from the Keeb.io Viterbi (rev2) kit. It’s 5x7 on each half; I like having a lot of keys. I have a full number row (doubling as function keys) and arrow keys (doubling as media keys).

It has a custom layout built with QMK. This page is primarily docs for my own reference.

My layout configuration is here. Fun stuff that I have:

  • Media controls
  • A mouse click key
  • En- and em-dashes
  • A numpad

Flashing

For reasons I don’t really remember, but probably involve saving $10, I got one Pro Micro (Arduino-compatible ATmega32U4) and one Elite-C V4 instead of two Elite-Cs. Which unfortunately means that flashing the two halves of my keyboard takes separate commands.

To flash the left (primary) half, which owns the Elite-C:

make keebio/viterbi/rev2:terrynsun:dfu
# or
qmk flash -bl dfu

For the right half:

make keebio/viterbi/rev2:terrynsun:avrdude
# or
qmk flash -bl avrdude

QMK setup

yay qmk
qmk setup terrynsun/qmk_firmware -b main -H ~/src/qmk_firmware
qmk config user.keyboard=keebio/viterbi/rev2
qmk config user.keymap=terrynsun

These config commands create this file at ~/.config/qmk/qmk.ini:

[user]
keyboard = keebio/viterbi/rev2
keymap = terrynsun

Switches

Most of my switches are Gateron Silent Browns. A few modifier keys (enter, special, click) have Outemu Silent Sky Switches. My left enter is a Zilent V2 (Silent Tactile).
