Pros

  • Fully Vial-configured.
  • Vial exposed a lot more of the QMK features than VIA ever does. to name a few: Tap Dance, Combos, Layer Lock, Caps Word, Repeat Key etc.
  • My god vial is just amazing. I have one board that uses vial and it’s been a game changer for me. Via is nice and all but vial is just amazing to me.
  • it recently got support for Vial too, which is nice and far superior than VIA.
  • Thankfully I found this keyboard has official vial support now, and flashing the vial firmware to it was a lot easier than I thought it would be.

The best part about Vial is that you can put the tilde literally anywhere you want 👍😀 Want it next to Delete? One click and done. Prefer it instead of Esc? Just map Esc to the 1 key and shift your numbers over.

j1nx3d runs on VIAL. You can remap every single key on the board in real-time through a simple interface. You can set up combos, utilize Tap Dance, and create dual-action keys. It makes the board an incredibly forgiving entry point
