Read More…A lot of us have mechanical keyboards made by WASD. The WASD CODE v2 keyboard was a really nice model, but used a fixed-function keyboard controller that limits its programmability and compatibility. WASD's answer to this was to end-of-life it and release the v3.
But your CODE v2 is still a perfectly good keyboard! By installing this module, you can make it run the latest programmable keyboard firmware --- either my custom Rust firmware, or QMK*.
*QMK support is not done, but the board should be compatible.
I use a WASD CODE v2 as my daily-driver in my home office, and was frustrated that there was no upgrade path that didn't involve throwing the keyboard away. Once I noticed that the keyboard's control IC is on a riser board ... well, it was clear what I had to do.
Please note: this version of reCODE supports the 84-key ("tenkey-less") version of the CODE v2 only! The 101-key ("full") version is not yet supported, simply because I haven't gotten my hands on one to reverse engineer it. Please drop me a line if you're interested in buying a 101-key version!
I've been using a version of this as my daily-driver since 2020. I'm currently selling the initial batch of v2 boards, which fix the problems with my original prototype. Quantity is limited, but if there's interest I can make more.
I run my Rust firmware, not QMK. The microcontroller I'm using is common in QMK-based keyboards. If you can do anything to help me port QMK, I would welcome the help!

I'll ship orders out about once per week. Tindie's shipping setup is incredibly manual, so if there's an option you don't see here, it's because I haven't done the research to figure out pricing etc. yet. Please ask!
