  • So you mean it would have no effect, yes? On restart it will have the same settings and firmware it did prior to pressing the reset button?

    I looked at the QMK docs to see about using it from the terminal. But I am not clear about how to get around the issue of the firmware not being up to date.

    I don’t quite trust various bits and pieces I’ve found about how to use it around the web. Like the configurator page for this device says

    Reset Key: Hold down the key located at K00, commonly programmed as Esc while plugging in the keyboard.

    compared to the keychron docs I linked to in the OP which says

    reset the keyboard by pressing fn + J + Z (for 4 seconds)

    And also describes an actual reset button located under the space bar.

    Why are they different…? It seems like keychron probab knows how to reset their own device. So I wonder if it is a good idea to load anything from this qmk page using methods I don’t understand well because I’d never be able to get myself out of a mess.







  • thanks for all the info!

    i am definitely a person who will always change the defaults for no particular reason. so I appreciate the warning. except I don’t quite know what you mean by “assignments”. do you mean like the names? eth0? or their functions? I do like the idea of having a physical jack that’s always guaranteed to allow access no matter what I foul up otherwise.

    all these years I have been running my home network with a collection of routers just kind of attached together in a way that shouldn’t work due to “double nat” according to everything I ever read, but it is pretty much functional if not at all optimized. maybe if you don’t believe in double nat it won’t happen to you.
