Bootloader

Enter the bootloader in 3 ways:

• Bootmagic reset: Hold down the key at (0,0) in the matrix (usually the top left key or Escape) and plug in the keyboard
• Physical reset button: Briefly press the button on the back of the PCB - some may have pads you must short instead
• Keycode in layout: Press the key mapped to QK_BOOT if it is available

Usecase

As i have not yet configured split keyboard functionality with QMK, it works as two seperate keyboards. From my reading of QMK, it has its limitationts when it comes to bluetooth, hence it is a wired split keyboard. So, i mounted the keyboard to an arm rest with magnetic sheets so that it can be mounted on the table or your chair.

• The first step is to cut the sheet so that it can be glued to the armrest. I used GIMP to trace an image of the armrest and used a CNC router to cut the sheet in desired dimensions.
