VIA (keyboard configuration tool)
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Via is the browser I use most of the time because I prefer its tab-handling and customizability, and the fact that it's tiny (~11MB) and has built-in adblock.
- VIA musthave, fully agree.
- Yep, you can map those buttons through VIA as well. They don’t stay pressed down, though. They feel more like clicky switches.
- PCB: Custom RP2040-based PCB running QMK/VIA
- The final build works as intended: the keyboard runs QMK with VIA configurator support
Cons
- Did you have any troubles with Via? Mine was really fiddly with loading the Json.
- one will find how limiting VIA is when they use a smaller board (<40%) and need sophisticated tricks to makes the keyboard usable.
