 - PCB: Custom designed for the MxSS by kawasaki161, White solder mask and ENIG finish

### Details:

 - 2.9 degrees angle on the case
 - Top mount plate
 - Center USB, Type-B Mini
 - MX and SMK (White and Orange) switch support
 - Holtite support
 - RGB underglow
 - 1.5kg with plate and weight

Keyboard Maintainer: [MxBlue](https://github.com/mxblu)  

Hardware Supported: Custom PCB, ATMega32u4

Hardware Availability: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=94986.0

Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):

    make mxss:default

See [build environment setup](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_build_tools) then the [make instructions](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_make_guide) for more information.

# Front LED Operation

The MxSS PCB has 2 front RGB LEDs which has a separate brightness and mode of operation to the rest of the RGB LEDs. These are controlled through the supplied custom keycodes.

There are 3 modes of operation:

 - FLED_OFF - Front LEDs stay off
 - FLED_RGB - Front LEDs are part of the standard RGB LED modes, only works correctly with rainbow modes (will fix on request)
 - FLED_INDI - Top front LED represents Caps Lock status, bottom LED represents current layer
 
Colors for FLED_INDI mode are hardcoded as hue/saturation values, the caps lock color can be found in mxss_frontled.h, the layer colors are defined in keymap.c (see default/keymap.c for example).

## Custom Keycodes

 - FLED_MOD - Cycle between the 3 modes (FLED_OFF -> FLED_RGB -> FLED_INDI)
 - FLED_VAI - Increase front LED brightness
 - FLED_VAD - Decrease front LED brightness
 
 # Further Notes
 
 As SAFE_RANGE is used for defining the custom keycodes seen above, please use NEW_SAFE_RANGE as the starting value for any custom keycodes in keymap.c, as per the example.
Add MxSS keyboard (#3335) * Added basic MxSS support * Fixed split RSHFT for ISO layouts * Updated readme.md for MxSS * Added initial support for individual control of front RGB LEDs * Changed RGBLED color selection to work using hue and saturation rather than RGB Added code for LED state change on layer change * Avoid needing an entire 8 bits to store the brightness value * Added custom keycodes, along with their handlers * Added EEPROM storage for front LED config * Fixed up ability to use QMK Configurator and updated readme.md * Applied suggested changes from pull request: https://github.com/standard/standard/issues/452 Updated name in license descriptions Updated layouts to snake case Corrected mistakes in info.json Updated layer_colors to a weak attributed array in mxss.c * Defined a new safe range for custom keycodes in keymap.c 2018-07-08 04:33:36 +02:00			`# MxSS - Polycarb 65% Kit for MX/SMK`
