    • How to install QMK to ...
    -FOR THIS VIDEO-
    If you want to use a .hex file that I (and Zuk) have already created for you, I recommend this one:
    github.com/TaranVH/2nd-keyboa...
    Download, install, and run QMK toolbox: qmk.fm/toolbox/
    Use it to flash the .hex file onto your converter, as shown in this video.
    If that doesn't work for you, try following this alternative guide for flashing your .hex file: github.com/mechmerlin/qmk_set...
    Download the AutoHotKey installer: www.autohotkey.com/download/
    Then, download this AutoHotkey script by clicking RAW, and CTRL S to save. (Delete the little .txt if it appears!)
    github.com/TaranVH/2nd-keyboa...
    Create this folder structure, and save it here:
    C:\AHK\2nd-keyboard\HASU_USB\QMK_F24_macro_keyboard.ahk
    Now, double-click on it to get it running. A friendly icon should appear in your taskbar. Boop!
    Now, try typing into a text document. Instead of text, you should be seeing tooltips. Perfect! Now you can replace those with your own functions, and calls to those functions. It’s all normal AutoHotKey scripting from this point on.

    Every few years, the planets align and The Taran is allowed to exit his den. Upon seeing first light, The Taran is confused - Why so few macros The Taran asks? Why does this creature have only one keyboard? The Taran cannot allow this and plans his attack. The unsuspecting computer user is unaware of the fact that it is possible, or necessary, to use 12 keyboards with his computer. As the computer user types away on his single un-ergonomic keyboard that obviously causes far too much overexertion of their index finger, The Taran strikes. The Taran reveals his secret move: ULTIMATE MACRO and the user is completely overwhelemed by the fact that now he must memorize no fewer than 1400 new key instructions on their new setup, but The Taran has claimed victory, for while the user may need to exert far too much brain power and memory, the user may now save his hands from multiple key presses for the rest of their life.

      @Muhanoid 5 лет назад +36

      Basically, he explains all the options for productivity freaks and games that play simulator games in full simulation mode that need more than 1 keyboard to do things.
      QMK lets you take cheapest keyboard that you can buy (or have laying around) and turn it into productivity panel. For example, you can print icons that tell you what kind of macro is on a key and glue them to every key on keyboard that is connected to computer with QMK.
      Why would you do that? BECAUSE pressing ctrl+alt+shift+F3, down arrow, down arrow, left arrow (or some other combination) would become painful rather quickly, especially if you have tons of such combinations for video editing software, photoshop and similar.
      For example, let's say you need to press up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A
      Imagine that you need to do it all the time to get something done quickly and it repeats 30~40 times a day. And there are other combinations that are also used 30~40 times a day.
      Macro can do it in about 1~2 seconds (depending on how fast your PC works and can, without lagging, accept the inputs to get things done right).
      By hand (manually) it would take a lot more seconds (depends on combination and sequence) to get same result AND you need to remember ALL THE COMBINATIONS in your head. Now imagine that you need to get something done, but instead you try to remember "what is a combination to quickly select tagged items?". Time gets wasted on 'sitting at the desk and staring at the screen'.
      So instead of memorizing combinations you can get a QMKs and a bunch of cheapest keyboards and then print out what each key does.
      Will it take some time to do? Yes, it will.
      Will the time it has taken to set up the workspace help in months and months of mundane work? Yes, it will.
      For games like Arma 3 or War Thunder an additional keyboard is useful. Here, look: ruclips.net/video/b_sOUn8_JAM/видео.html
      Try using Full Real controls in War Thunder without running out of keys to press on single keyboard. That's what this video is about.

    • @marcmil4064
      @marcmil4064 5 лет назад +50

      To be fair though, obtaining the code is not enough. Besides, github allows to download the code from the browser as an archive, so that would be easier.
      However, compiling this thing on pure windows would probably be difficult, since it is probably developed with an linux environment in mind.
      And it isn't really a VM, it's Windows Subsystem for Linux. It's more like what wine is rather than a fully fledged vm.

      Do a quick search for "KSP custom control panel" on Google or RUclips and you will see some excellent examples. People have been making things like this for years for all sorts of games and it's actually pretty simple.
      If you want to get into something like this, pick up an Arduino Uno to start learning. If you want keyboard (AND MOUSE/JOYSTICK!) emulation, you need something like a Teensy or different model of Arduino, but you literally just wire up any button you like and program it to act like a certain key.

I love his AHK content, but like.... you can legit just buy multiple razer boards and your good to go - in fact, by keeping it strictly razer, it makes it easy to import the profiles to keyboards throughout say, a home office, while having 99% of the functions that the Cosair software has (idk if you can set RGB lights based on profile - but probably?).
      If you scoop old razer keyboards off marketplace, it is very easy to keep the costs down.

    Taran, don't listen to the haters. Engineers do this all the time to reduce redundent work. In fact, a good part of an efficient engineers time is spent working on macros to do non value added work like retyping the same commands over and over 3000 times. The rest of their work is spent ACTUALLY figuring out how to solve problem, not the act of solving the problem itself. Just how we now use calculators to add, subtract, divide, multiply, on and on.

      The majority of GOOD engineers are lazy as fuck. That's why a good engineer tends to setup such things, altough it requires some effort. However, after a single tedious setup, it works and in all the time they would need to do brainless clicking, they are now able to some work that actually requires brain or to simply sipp some coffee.
      Or at least any engineer I've met in my life, that was GOOD, was a brutally lazy folk, avoiding work as much they could. That's also how you can tell apart the best students. The best folks in university aren't the ones that are learing non stop without a break, but those who get similar or at least close results, without putting to much effort in.

    You just made the best macro keyboard review around, but none who needs it will ever find it since LTT gave it a stupid title...

      Yeah. They could just add "... and everything about keyboard macros in workflow" to the end.

      They'll change the title in a day or two like they usually do with half their videos.

      They have so many helpful videos. But no way to search for them. So frustrating.
