Suggestions for Custom Boards #185

Hi!

I have suggestions for your custom boards.

The first suggestion is that you'd have suitable hardware for a telephony device if you added the TRRS port (from v8) to the v5 (or really anything that has a USB input as well). My idea is that the keyboard could be programmed to send telephony button presses (like your "Mute" button for Google Meets), and the TRRS port could act as an autio device.

The second idea is that maybe you're at the point where the naming convention needs to expand. My suggestions would be:

Current Suggested Output Input
v1 HRM-1C-1A 1 USB C 1 USB A
v2 HRM-1S-1S 1 USB, Soldered 1 USB, Soldered
v3 HRM-1A-1A 1 USB A 1 USB A
v4 HRM-1C-1A8B 1 USB C 1 USB A, 8 buttons
v5 HRM-1C-4A 1 USB C 4 USB A
v6 HRM-1C-4A18B 1 USB C 4 USB A, 18 Buttons
v7 HRM-1C-4A4N10B 1 USB C 4 Analogue, 10 buttons
v8 HRM-1C-1Ta 1 USB C 1 TRRS analogue

HRM stands for HID remapper.

I thought that the naming convention I suggested, while a little more verbose, was also more semantically useful, since the IDs tell you what ports the device has. The one I'm least sure about is my suggestion for the v8.

Anyway, hope this helps.
