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 O 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 O 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.
