This is the first time I built a keyboard!
A cheapino!
It took a little bit of time to get everything figured out, but I was able to finish that build relatively easily.
However, I am having trouble customizing the layout… I can’t load it in the qmk.fm tool and when I upload a json file it gives me something that doesn’t match my keyboard.
Also, the encoder currently types ‘y’ when turned right, I got 2 thumb keys working as spaces and I don’t have a modifier key.
As far as I can tell, everything is soldered right, the diodes are in the right direction…
Did I mess up my soldering or is the cheapino firmware buggy?
Any app that can help me flash/customize my keyboard? I’ll keep googling.
Thanks!

    Hmmm, that’s good to know. I’ll check that out with a multimeter.
    I was wondering what type of network cable the keeb supports while building it.
    Networking cables can either be straight or crossover. I believe 2 pairs are affected by this difference, maybe that’s where the issue comes from?
    edit: just checked and I have a straight cable.
