With full QMK and VIA support, you can program and remap each key on the keyboard with ease. The open-source firmware means endless possibilities for keyboard layouts, shortcuts, backlight effects, even the knob and more.

First

You can open QMK configurator, and select the web page that matches your keyboard model:
X-bows Nature: https://config.qmk.fm/#/xbows/nature/LAYOUT
X-bows Knight: https://config.qmk.fm/#/xbows/knight/LAYOUT
X-bows Knight-Plus: https://config.qmk.fm/#/xbows/knight_plus/LAYOUT
X-bows Knight-Plus-numpad: https://config.qmk.fm/#/xbows/numpad/LAYOUT
Note: When you are ready to update the keyboard firmware, you only need to connect the keyboard you want to upgrade, and disconnect your computer from other keyboards)

Second

Important note

In order to flash your custom firmware you must first put your keyboard into a special flashing mode. While it is in this mode you will not be able to type or otherwise use your keyboard. It is very important that you do not unplug the keyboard or otherwise interrupt the flashing process while the firmware is being written.
Put Your Keyboard into DFU (Bootloader) Mode,There are three ways:

• Press “Fn+Esc”;
• Unplug your keyboard, hold down the Esc and plug in your keyboard
• Press the “RESET” physical button , located on the underside of the PCB

(If you update your keyboard with the wrong firmware, you can try a third method to get the keyboard into DFU mode again.)
