Model M Phosphorglow Colossus to QMK?

[fms]

Hello everyone! it's been a while, but I am still rocking my Model M modded by Maxx. I wanted to change the layout to the keyboard and I was wondering if it Would be possible to run QMK on his board? or is it better to get a new controller with QMK on it? any recommendations ?

The controller on mine says Colossus 1.0 and I found colossus repos at github https://github.com/phosphorglow/model_m_colossus

You can definitely run other firmwares on Colossus. I’ve been running mine on Soarer’s Controller ever since I got it! The hardware behaves just like a Teensy 2.

That is great to hear! I have used soarers converter on other devices but I've not tried the controller yet.

Could it be possible for you to share your configuration file?

Sure. Here's my full config for the SSK, in my own preferred Mac layout:

Code: Select all

# Simplified SSK with Phosphor's Controller running Soarer
# For use with Karabiner rather than its own jiggery-pokery
# Now including fn' Fn key on Right Alt for G-mousepad action
