Construction worked fine, had to bend the pegs in the spacebar hole a little to make the stabiliser fit and I found out I have not picked the brightest leds (mood lighting at most).

Even started on my personal layout, which I typed on yesterday, and it worked. Today however, the backspace is instead typing '\' and escape is typing '`'. It's on a mac. SO I figured I'd put the default layout back, but that has the same issue, anybody know what's going on?

THijsWow, looks amazing. Love those multilegend keycaps? Mind sharing where did you obtain them? Would love to have it color coordinated with upper/lower keys.

whtwhtwhtI got a bunch of relegendables from pmk. I'm assuming I'll have a lot of different layouts, but I don't assume I'll be very quick at knowing them by hart. This way I can just change them and print an A4 with some new legends.

THijsWhat template with the key edges/design do you use to create your legends and print them out? I have a bunch of relegendable keycaps I got from a MD drop awhile ago and I just write the letter/char by hand that I place in the key lol. They don't look nearly as nice and decorated as yours. I love the coloring of the legends there. How do you make them.

goldenThat was a load of work. I started of with http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/ then I tried to continue with an SVG, but that was too "experimental" (nice keys but no text), then I think I managed to download the full page as PDF probably through wkhtmltopdf somehow (couldn't manage anymore last time). Continued editting in Illustrator, then printed through Photoshop. So no really easy template or anything. I think I'm just going to start anew in Illustrator and create one proper key tile where I have all the letter positions properly set up (right align, left aling, properly spaced, etc.) then copy that across all the positions and edit all the values. More likely is that I edit the values in SVG. Selecting the text in Illustrator I tend to find annoying. The size of the tiles for my keys is 1.1cm x 1.1cm.

THijsIt seems it's not a firmware issue maybe OS keymapping issue. But I'm not sure since I'm not a mac user, sorry I can help you. Check out your OS keyboard layout until someone can help you out.
I've got a plan to buy some relegendable keycaps, they were a little expensive for me to buy but I have no choice, I think. How does it feel when you type on them? Are they slippery or not?
By the way, your planck looks amazing with your own made printed legends, thank you very much for sharing your pics!
(Oh, you posted this 2 years ago, I googled the image and it brought me here. I appologize I thought this is a new post. I hope you understand and have a great weekend.)

VinSHey, no problem, it’s always nice to hear someone likes your board. The relegendables are a bit slippers, though that never bothered me. The problem is something to do with the print plate, I’ve got a rev2 Planck that works fine with this layout. For the rev4 Planck I’ve made shortcuts to switch the key definitions. I’ve found my preferred layout now so I don’t flash it very often anymore, and it works just fine 😁

THijsThank you very much for your kind answer, and happy to hear you solved your problem. I think I'm gonna buy them if I got some spare money. (I want to buy SA profile relegendale keycaps, too.)
Honestly I really like your board!, I googled it and saved the image. Hope you have a great weekend, and enjoy your keyboarding, sir.
