In this page, you will find all the information you need to setup your Dygma Raise.
*The language of this layout is US-English.
Let’s get started
Keycaps and switches
Maintenance
Be careful when removing the keycaps and the switches. Make sure you use the proper tools. But most of all, be extra careful when mounting the switches onto the keyboard.
BE VERY CAREFUL when mounting the switches! If you feel a lot of resistance, don’t continue pushing. If you push too hard, you could break an electronic component and void the warranty.
O-rings dampen the sound your keycaps make when they hit the upper housing of the switch. They also cushion the feeling of your keypress.
Bazecor is officially on 0.2 version but is still under development.
During the upcoming months, there will be frequent software and firmware updates. We will keep you informed through social media and email once they’ve been launched.
We are aware there may be some features that still do not work as intended, but we’re working hard to fix everything as soon as possible.
Don’t hesitate to contact us if you find a bug, have a feature suggestion or have questions.
Bazecor is open-source and our development board is public. You can access our code in Github and you can vote or comment in Trello on the features we will implement.
‘SCAN KEYBOARDS’ is designed for when you have two or more Raise keyboards connected. This lets you choose which one you want to configure.
If you have only one Raise connected to your computer, click ‘CONNECT’ to go to the Layout & Colormap Editor.
Layout & Colormap editor
This is where you can configure your keyboard’s functions and lights.
Firmware Update
The Firmware is the internal software of the keyboard. To implement new features on the keyboard we will need to update it from time to time.
Select Another Keyboard
You can select another Raise keyboard and connect it to Bazecor.
Preferences
Software update – Currently disabled. Once we have an update, you will be notified.
Bazecor Support page – Redirects to Set Up My Raise
Send feedback – Use this form to give feedback or ask questions about Bazecor.
This is where the magic happens. You can create 10 fancy layouts with different color and keymap configurations.
IMPORTANT:
When you make any modification in the Layout & Colormap Editor, the top part of the screen will turn pink. This is to highlight that a change has been done in your layout but hasn’t been saved yet. To save a change, click the round button on the bottom right corner.
Changing the language in Bazecor won’t change your language in your operating system.
If your Windows language is English UK and your Bazecor Language is Spanish, when you press the Ñ’’ key you will write ‘;’.
That’s because the Bazecor language is only a visual aid to make the layout configuration process easier. It doesn’t modify the language options in your operating system.
Be aware that Bazecor only has the languages of the keycaps we offer. If the operating system language and the Bazecor language do not match, the keys that you configure and write won’t match.
There are 10 layers. Each key backlight and each LED of the underglow can be configured individually. You can import and export layer configurations, copy layer configurations to another, and delete layers.
Importing and exporting layers
Copying layers
Deleting layers
WARNING: Once you paste a new layer, the existing one will be deleted. This process cannot be undone. We recommend that you export your custom layers and paste them in a document before making changes.
You can copy the default layers from these links (Default Layer 0 and Default Layer 1) and then select “Paste From Clipboard” to paste it to the layer.
Key config
Most functions on keyboards are self-explanatory. The ones below are the less common functions or are more Raise specific:
Navigation & Misc
TRANS TIP: Imagine you have layer 0 and 1. On layer 0 you have A, and on the same position on layer 1 you have TRANS. On layer 1, pressing that key, will result in A.
Modifiers
LED Effects
IMPORTANT: The LED effects contain a few colors and effects such as rainbow and breathing. When rotating through the LED effects, have in mind that the chosen LED effect will apply to all layers. Until you don’t finish cycling through all the effects you won’t be able to edit your custom LED layer.
Shift to layer & Lock Layer
Shift to Layer and Lock Layer are the keys used to change from one layer to another one.
IMPORTANT: For the LOCK TO LAYER key to work properly, you need to configure TRANS in the same location on the layer you are changing to.
The following sections are under development and their functionalities have not been implemented yet: One Shot Layers, One Shot Modifiers, Leader, Space Cadet, Mouse Configuration Options and Steno.
The key modification options “Layer shift when held, normal key otherwise” and “Modifier when held, normal key otherwise” are currently under development too and don’t work properly.
The UNDERGLOW and BACKLIGHT buttons will allow you to quickly change the colors of your Raise.
If you want to report an issue or have any questions, please send us an email at myraise@dygma.com.
If you have a keyboard connected that has a number pad (laptop keyboard counts too), you will need to press the “numlock” key on the non-Raise keyboard. Once you press it, all number pad keys will be activated for all keyboards connected to your computer
If you don’t have another keyboard plugged in, your number pad keys should function.
First, check if you can match the Bazecor language (bottom left tab) with your operating system language. If it matches, this should solve the problem.
If your operating system language and Bazecor language don’t match, the characters that you configure in Bazecor won’t be the ones you see on your screen when you type.
The reason is that each character is assigned to a code that is assigned to a location on the keyboard.
Press the ‘LEDEFF NEXT’ button to cycle through the LED color options. It’s possible that you selected the next set of default LED colors and are no longer on the default custom LED colors set.
It can also happen that after pressing ‘LEDEFF NEXT’ you pressed ‘LOCK TO 1’ and changed to Layer 1. This means you need to go back to Layer 0 to be able to cycle through the LED colors again.
In this short video, we explain how to go back to Layer 0 and cycle through the different LED colors.
If you have multiple high-frequency keys, you might feel slight pain or soreness in your thumbs. This is because you’ve never used your two thumbs the way you’ve used the rest of the fingers when typing. The soreness should disappear after 1-2 weeks.
Our advice is to not set up multiple high-frequency keys in the same thumb cluster when starting. For example, don’t place backspace and space next to each other when getting used to the thumb keys.
If you have more concerns, contact us so we can advise you on your layout.
While waiting for Bazecor to be verified, you can open it following these steps:
The app is saved as an exception to your security settings, and you can open it in the future by double-clicking it just as you can with any registered app.
If you have purchased a Raise from Dygma.com or an authorized distributor, your keyboard is covered by a two-year warranty for parts replacement and labor repairs from date of purchase.
The act of unscrewing the parts of your Raise, does not void your warranty. Be careful when doing this, as there are sensitive electronics inside. If you tamper with the electronics and damage them, this will void your warranty.
The Raise’s firmware is open source. You are free to modify it and, if you wish, share your changes. If you have any problems updating or modifying the firmware, please drop us a message and we can walk you through recovery procedures.
It is possible that customizing the firmware might destroy your keyboard. If your custom firmware is incorrect and it destroys your keyboard, this voids your warranty.
Any damage that is caused by misuse, abuse or accident, including liquid contact, fire or environmental causes.
If your keyboard stops working, contact us at myraise@dygma.com and we’ll help you figure out the best way to get you back up to speed.
