Introduction
Congratulations on successfully building your keyboard!
The Bastard Keyboards come with a range of features, and it’s also easy to customize them. On this page you will find additional information on how to use them and make them your own.
The default firmware requires the USB cable be connected to the right side of the keyboard.
Daily use
Default keymap
You can find pictures of the default keymaps on the default keymaps page.
Alternatively, you can also plug in your keyboard and visualize the keymap using Argos (see Argos section).
Customization
To customize your keyboard, you can use either Argos or QMK.
Using Argos
All Bastard Keyboards come flashed with Argos. Argos is an additional layer that comes on top of QMK, and comes with a handy graphical interface. It enables customization without having to compile any code.
It supports:
- macros
- combos
- pointing device configuration
- multiple languages
- pointer modes configuration
- tap dances
- per-key and per-layer RGB configuration
You can open the Argos Web Interface through argos.bastardkb.com. At the moment, only WebHID-enabled browsers work (eg. Chrome and Chromium-based).
You can read more about Argos here.
