<h1 class="title">Tips</h1>
<div class="content">
<p>The <span class="tag">Fn</span> key unlocks a lot of the missing keys and other functions.</p>
<p>The key labeled <span class="tag">Alt</span> is actually the <span class="tag">AltGr</span> key. Because the <span class="tag">Alt</span> key is not very useful on Android but the <span class="tag">AltGr</span> key is used heavily in many layouts.</p>
<p>The <span class="tag">AltGr</span> key is also a sticky key. That means that it remains active until the next key is pressed and then it is released. This allows you to type keyboard combinations without pressing more than one key at a time.</p>
<p>This keyboard uses the Esc-Grave option from QMK to combine the <span class="tag">Esc</span> and <span class="tag">`~</span> (<span class="tag">^°</span> in German layout) keys</p>
<p>Useful combinations:</p>
<ul>
<li>Hold left thumb on <span class="tag">Fn</span> and right thumb on <span class="tag">⏎</span> to press <span class="tag">Super</span> (Windows key)</li>
<li>Get <span class="tag">`</span> key by pressing <span class="tag">Fn</span> with left thumb and <span class="tag">'</span> with right thumb</li>
<li>Get <span class="tag">~</span> key by pressing <span class="tag">Shift</span> with right thumb and <span class="tag">Esc</span> with left thumb (This is the mentioned Grave Escape feature of the QMK firmware)</li>
<li>Get <span class="tag">&euro;</span> by tapping <span class="tag">AltGr</span> followed by <span class="tag">5</span> in the English (US) international layout</li>
<li>Get the german umlaut <span class="tag">ä</span> by tapping <span class="tag">AltGr</span> followed by <span class="tag">q</span> in the English (US) international layout</li>
<li>Get the german umlaut <span class="tag">ü</span> by tapping <span class="tag">AltGr</span> followed by <span class="tag">y</span> in the English (US) international layout</li>
<li>Get the german umlaut <span class="tag">ö</span> by tapping <span class="tag">AltGr</span> followed by <span class="tag">p</span> in the English (US) international layout</li>
<li>Cycle through open applications with <span class="tag">Fn</span>+<span class="tag">O</span> and <span class="tag">Fn</span>+<span class="tag">P</span> (macro for <span class="tag">Alt</span>+<span class="tag">Tab</span> and <span class="tag">Alt</span>+<span class="tag">Shift</span>+<span class="tag">Tab</span>)
<li>I'm sorry french typists using the English US International layout:
<ul>
<li>Tapping <span class="tag">AltGr</span> followed by <span class="tag">Fn</span>+<span class="tag">'</span> is the only way to get <span class="tag">`</span> and combine it with the next char</li>
<li>Tapping <span class="tag">AltGr</span> followed by <span class="tag">Shift</span>+<span class="tag">Fn</span>+<span class="tag">'</span> is the only way to get <span class="tag">~</span> and combine it with the next char</li>
</ul>

<p>mkbd65 has the USB Vendor ID 1209 and Product ID 4803. You can find it <a href="https://pid.codes/1209/4803/">here</a>.</p>
<p>The PCB is made with <a href="http://www.kicad.org">KiCAD</a>. You can download the files <a href="https://gitlab.com/mkbd65/pcb">here</a>.</p>
<p>It costs about 7-25€ to produce the PCB in a fab like JLCPCB. The full <abbr title="Bill of materials">BOM</abbr> can be found <a href="https://octopart.com/bom-tool/YlMBpo3w">here</a>.</p>

<h1 class="title">Case</h1>
<p>The CAD files for the case are generated from adaptable file using <a href="https://openscad.org/">OpenSCAD</a>.</p>
<p>The case and keyboard parts can be easily adapted to any phones shape. Some expections are phone with "weird" camera bumps.</p>
<p><i>Imagine some nice pictures of colorful 3D prints here!</i></p>

<h1 class="title">Compatible phones</h1>
<div class="content">
<p>The final PCB will be compatible with any phone that has a USB-C port and fits some minimal size requirements. The CAD files for the case can be easily adapted to most phones. The limiting factor is mostly the shape of the camera bump.</p>
<p>Currently only these models have been tested and are known to work:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/galaxy-s22/">Samsung S22+</a> (primary target)</li>
<li><a href="https://www.motorola.com/us/smartphones-moto-g100/p">Motorola moto g100</a> (planned)</li>
</ul>
<p>Phones that will never end up on this list include the newer Google Pixel phone with the visor camera bump because it doesn't have any space for the keyboard. So don't get your hopes up to use these with it. I hope the Pixel 8 will have a different design.</p>
<p>You want your phone on this list? Open an issue <a href="https://gitlab.com/mkbd65/case/-/issues/new#">here</a> and use the "New phone" template.</p>
