![DQz11N1G-DE Layout Image](https://u.cubeupload.com/ddklg/OPBN5q.jpg)
# Default Layout for DQz11N1G-DE
This is the layout corresponding to what the Maltron keyboard DQz11N1G-DE I
own came with (using the original pre-installed controller). Note that this
differs from German Maltron layout as published on [Maltron's
website](https://www.maltron.com/germany.html). Use the photo above as a
reference for the layout implemented here.
I did not find any official documentation about the the Function Lock key on
the original Maltron keyboards. It seems that it implements some of the
features that are documented for the one-handed Maltron keyboards. Most
keys don't send any keycodes at all when function lock is enabed.
We instead map some of the Quantum keycodes (mouse keys and audio control)
in the middle (keypad) section of the keypad, when Function Lock is enabled.

# DQz11N1G
![DQz11N1G](https://u.cubeupload.com/ddklg/OPBN5q.jpg)
Firmware for a DIY controller replacement for one of the ortholinear contoured
keyboards manufactured by [PCD Maltron Ltd](https://www.maltron.com)
This work here in no way officially associated with PCD Maltron Ltd and comes
with NO WARRANTY. Modifying your Maltron keyboard as described below will
certainly void your warranty and may cause damage to your keyboard. Proceed
at your own risk!
* maintainer: [David Kuehling](https://github.com/dvdkhlng/qmk_firmware_dqz11n1g)
* Hardware Supported: Maltron DQz11N1G with a replacement controller board
assembled as described below. The work here is based on a german version
of the keyboard: DQz11N1G-DE. I assume, but don't know for sure, that
minor or no changes at all are required to make this work on different
language versions of the keyboard.
* Hardware Availability:
* [PCD Maltron Ltd](https://www.maltron.com), for the original keyboard
* 1x [Arduino Pro Micro](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12640)
* 3x [SN74HC165](https://www.ti.com/product/SN74HC165)
* 1x DIL connector 2 rows a 17 pins.
* 19x pull-down resistors (10k Ohm),
* 4 LED current limiting resistors (not sure about the correct resistance,
using 470 Ohm here)
Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
make handwired/dqz11n1g:default
## In Detail
[PCD Maltron Ltd](https://www.maltron.com) manufacturs ergonomic keyboards
that appear to be hand-wired internally. For the Maltron DQz11N1G-DE
keyboard that I happen to own, the keyboard matrix is wired to a 34-pin DIL
connector. This makes it rather easy to replace the proprietary
controller-board with a self-made board based on the QMK firmware.
I don't really like the default layout of my Maltron DQz11N1G-DE keyboard,
and modding it to work with QMK allows me to adapt it to my needs. It
especially allows for the two space keys to assume different roles, thereby
creating an additional easily reachable thumb-key.

### Replacement Keyboard Controller Board
Due to supply chain problems, I decided to base this on an
Arduino-compatible [Pro Micro](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12640)
board which is still easy to source.
Unfortunately pin-count of the DQz11N1G-DE's keyboard matrix is way beyond
the Pro Micro's available I/O pin count. I'm using three 8-bit
shift-registers ([SN74HC165](https://www.ti.com/product/SN74HC165) ) to
connect the 19 colums of the keyboard matrix for readout. Due to diode
direction in DQz11N1G-DE we also need 19 pull-down resistors one for each of
the utilized shift-register inputs.
This is a design sketch of the replacement board this is based on. Note how
we need a custom matrix.c source file to deal with the shift register based
keyboard readout.

This is how the assembled controller board looks like, on the right side you
see the original PIC-based controller the keyboard ships with.

(Not visible in the photo: I drilled hole into the keyboard above the USB
connector for a reset switch to simplify flashing controller firmware)
