Dygma Bazecor
Dygma Bazecor is a free configurator for Dygma’s programmable keyboards, available for Linux, macOS and Windows. It lets users remap keys and build up to 10 layers, including layouts that place frequently used keys in the thumb cluster. Keys can combine modifiers with other keys for shortcuts, perform different actions when tapped or held, or trigger macros. Macros can replay keystrokes, mouse clicks and delays; assigned mouse actions include movement, clicks and wheel controls. Bazecor also supports per-key RGB lighting that can differ by layer. Superkeys, marked beta, allow up to five functions on one key, chosen through different tap and hold patterns. Users can download the software and explore a virtual keyboard without owning a Dygma keyboard. The software and keyboard firmware are described as open source. Dygma says its keyboards can be programmed over RF or Bluetooth. The product page lists version 1.10.0, while GitHub lists version 1.11.0 as a pre-release. Layer Lens in version 1.10.0 was initially restricted to Sonsei with English US layouts and required firmware version 1.1.0.
