Get started with M60 Keyboard

M60 is a compact keyboard. It has a keymap composed of multiple layers, which is similar to TMK Keyboard. By default, No.0 layer is used:

Keymap

As the 60% keyboard lacks a lot of keys such as F1~F12 and arrow keys, Fn is used to activate a new layer. When holding Fn down, the following keys are activated.

  • Fn + M triggers No.0 macro
  • Fn + P suspends the keyboard when only powered by battery.
  • Fn + B enters its bootloader (only for upgrade)

Except Fn, a normal key can be used as a Tap-key, which is holding a key down to activate an alternate function.

Using B to configure Bluetooth and USB

B is used as a Tap-key to configure Bluetooth and USB. Taping B outputs b (press & release quickly). Holding B down activates another new layer. With the layer, the following functions are available:

  • B + Esc toggles Bluetooth
  • B + 0 ~ 9 changes Bluetooth ID to switch between multiple computers and phones
  • B + U toggles USB

Using D for Navigation

D is also used as a Tap key for navigation functions.

  • D + H → ←
  • D + J → ↓
  • D + K → ↑
  • D + L → →
  • D + U → PgUp
  • D + N → PgDn

Using ; as Ctrl

; is another type of Tap-key. Taping ; outputs ;. However, holding ; down outputs Ctrl instead of activating a layer.

  • ; + c = Ctrl + c
  • ; + v = Ctrl + v
  • ; + x = Ctrl + x
  • ; + a = Ctrl + a

Using Pair-keys

Simultaneously pressing two keys (interval less than 10ms) activates an alternate function. By default, J K are used as a pair-keys. When simultaneously pressing J and K in a text editor, it will output a pre-defined string.

Setup Bluetooth

First, we press B + 1 to start Bluetooth advertising, and then we will see the blue LED under 1 is in breathing mode：

On Windows

Open Settings / Device and then click Add Bluetooth or other device:

Choose Bluetooth in the Add a device dialog, then you will see the device PYKB 1. Click PYKB 1 to connect the keyboard.

When to connect the keyboard to a second computer, just use B + 2 to start connecting. From 0 to 9, the keyboard can connect to 10 bluetooth devices.
