![]() In this specific case If you have the Q1 V2 its gonna be: Its very important that you know which MCU you have, otherwise you'll run into problems when compiling or flashing the firmware. EC11: If you have the knob version of the keyboard.įor the Keychron Q1 (I'm gonna assume its similar for other models as well) you can simply check on the page of the keyboard. ![]() MCU: STM32L432 (scroll down if you don't know how to find it).The folder you've downloaded contains the same firmware but for different versions of the keyboard, its important that you understand this, otherwise you might feel confused later on. Either delete that folder if you have it and only use what you've downloaded above or delete everything inside the "Keychron" folder and put the firmware you downloaded there, up to you! N.B: You might have a folder called "Keychron" inside C:\Users\username\qmk_firmware\keyboards, that might cause unwanted errors/issues. Just get into the folder called "keyboards" and create a new folder, put the "q1" folder you've previously downloaded into that newly created folder. Once its done you can find the folder we will mess with in: C:\Users\username\qmk_firmware\ We will need to set-up QMK MSYS since we're running it for the first time, to do so just type: qmk setup Okay, now that you've installed everything, its time to open up QMK MSYS: In this case we will need the Q1, so Right Click on that folder, Copy link address and then paste it here and download, we will need this directory later on.īecause we're using the " playground " branch, there's little we need to modify, BUT, the branch is subject to constant updates/changes and therefore you might experience issues/errors that are not listed in the guide YET. Firmware: To avoid making everything from scratch, you will need to grab a firmware that has everything in it. ![]() QMK Toolbox: This is the last step, you will need it to flash the firmware into your keyboard.QMK MSYS: In order for you to customize your keyboard, you need to compile your own firmware (don't worry, we will not make a firmware from scratch).You can use any text editor you want, I'm using Atom out of preference. Text Editor: You will need this to easily edit the files. ![]() Needless to say that I don't take any responsibility in case your keyboard breaks. I'm aware QMK has its own tutorial, which very well explains RGB stuff and more, but I also understand that it can be confusing for some, that's why I made this guide. Added the fix for "Q1 V2 w/Knob" Thanks to u/Atmos312.Īdded the fix for "LAYOUT_ansi_82" Thanks to u/parkqx.Īdded the fix for "EEPROM_DRIVER" & "arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe" Thanks to u/roophy24.Īdded the fix for "RGB_MATRIX_LED_COUNT" Thanks to u/Fly-Guy-13. If you run into any errors make sure to check the bottom of the guide, that's where I'll be putting the fix & solutions. If you have a different model feel free to try and follow along, this guide is made for Q1 V2 though.ĮDIT: Thanks to u/Ryuu_Dango I can confirm that you can follow the guide even if you have a different model, just make sure you have the correct firmware!ĮDIT: If you have the Q1 V2 w/KNOB ANSI and you wanna save some time, here's my firmware!ĮDIT: If the download is down, here's a link to the github folder (thanks u/Omawingasami for the reminder). I've tried googling around but I was unable to find something specific, so I came up with this guide. This guide is aimed at those who are not very familiar with programming or people who just got the keyboard and would like to add extra effects!
