Switch To The Right System
Please make sure the system toggle on the top left corner has been switched to
the same system as your computer’s operating system.
The VIA Key Remapping Software
Please visit caniusevia.com to download the latest VIA software to remap the
keys. If the VIA software cannot recognize your keyboard, please reach out to
our support to get the instruction.
THE LAYERS
There are four layers of key settings on the keyboard. The layer 0 and layer 1 are for the Mac system. The layer 2 and layer 3 are for the Windows system.
If your system toggle is switched to Mac, then the layer 0 will be activated.
If your system toggle is switched to Windows, then the layer 2 will be activated. Remember that if you are using it in Windows mode, please make changes to the layer 2 instead of the top layer (the layer 0). This is a common mistake people are making.
