What makes the grid 100 Encoder & Joystick Modules unique?

The grid 100 Encoder & Joystick Modules are designed with high versatility and customization in mind. They feature interchangeable magnetic caps, an ARGB LED ring, and a standalone signal processor for enhanced performance. The joystick module even uses the same analog unit found in the Xbox One Elite Controller, offering adjustable tension for a personalized feel.

Can I use multiple CYCLE-JOYSTICK modules on one grid 100 setup?

Due to software limitations, the grid 100 currently supports only one CYCLE-JOYSTICK module per configuration. This ensures optimal performance and prevents potential conflicts within the system.

How do I customize the lighting on the grid 100 Encoder module?

The ARGB LED ring on the grid 100 Encoder module can be controlled and customized using QMK firmware, with adjustments made through VIA or Vial software. This allows you to tailor the lighting effects to your personal preference.

What’s the difference between the smooth and detented encoder options?

The smooth encoder provides a continuous rotation without detents, ideal for tasks like volume adjustment or scrolling. The detented encoder, on the other hand, offers tactile steps, making it perfect for precision tasks such as selecting exact frames in editing software.

How do I adjust the tension of the joystick on the grid 100?

To adjust the joystick tension, simply unscrew the joystick cap by rotating it counterclockwise. Inside, you’ll find an M3 hex screw, which can be adjusted using a 2mm hex drive to achieve your desired tension level.

Are the magnetic caps interchangeable on the grid 100 modules?

Yes, the magnetic caps on both the encoder and joystick modules are interchangeable. This allows for easy customization and personalization of the look and feel of your setup.

How does the standalone processor enhance the grid 100 Encoder module's performance?

The standalone processor in the grid 100 Encoder module processes rotation signals approximately five times faster than a standard key press. This rapid response time is particularly beneficial for tasks that require quick input, similar to gaming scenarios where speed is crucial.

What are the compatibility options for the CYCLE-JOYSTICK module?

The CYCLE-JOYSTICK module is compatible with a variety of devices, including PCs, Macs, iOS devices, and Android devices. However, it is not supported by some systems like the Son.

What should I do if the joystick experiences drift over time?

Joystick drift is a common issue with analog joysticks. For the grid 100, replacement PCBs are available, and the joystick unit can be ordered from various suppliers, ensuring continued performance and longevity.

Product Description

The grid 100 Encoder & Joystick Modules are input devices designed for users who want precise control and customizable input on the grid 100 keyboard system. These modules suit hobbyists and professionals who need fast, tactile rotary input or analog joystick control for tasks like editing, gaming, or creative workflows. They offer modularity with interchangeable caps and adjustable features to fit different preferences.

Key Features

The Encoder module provides a 20-step rotary input with a pushable button and a standalone processor that speeds up signal response, making rotation inputs register about five times faster than key presses.
It comes in two versions: detented (with tactile steps) for precise control, and smooth (continuous rotation with friction) better suited for volume or scrolling adjustments.
The Joystick module uses the same analog unit as the Xbox Elite Controller, offering tension adjustment for a customizable feel and a pushable stick for additional input.
Both modules include ARGB LED rings with 20 LEDs, adjustable via QMK firmware through VIA or Vial software, allowing visual feedback and lighting customization.
Caps for both modules are interchangeable and magnetic or screw-on, enabling user customization of appearance and grip.

Compatibility

Joystick module supports PC, Mac, iOS, iPadOS, and Android devices but is not compatible with Sony PlayStation, Microsoft Xbox, or Nintendo Switch.
Only one Joystick module can be used per grid 100 configuration due to software limitations.

Trade-offs

Joystick drifting is an inherent issue with analog sticks, though replacement PCBs and joystick units are available separately.
The thicker PCB design for LED brightness can complicate installation and vendor assembly.
The connector between the core board and modules is rated for about 200 swaps, which may limit frequent module changes over time.
