The VIA Key Remapping Software

Please visit usevia.app to use the online VIA software to remap the keys.
If the VIA cannot recognize your keyboard, please reach our support to get the instruction.

The online VIA software can only run on the latest version of Chrome, Edge, and Opera browsers yet.
VIA only works when the keyboard is connected by wire to the computer.

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.
