Software for Keychron on Linux

Hey all,

I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for software to control macros and lighting for keychron on Linux?

Which Keychron are you rocking? Most of the K series have a Sonix MCU which is supported with the SonixQMK branch (not including bluetooth). Most K series have a build already you can flash using the SonixFlasher tool and that includes an XML for VIA.

VIAL seems to be a popular choice for VIA alternative,

Kubuntu. Let me give this a shot!

Vial should do it then.

Unless you're using one of their crappy ones that don't have QMK/VIA support, or want a custom lighting pattern; https://usevia.app should work.

It has QMK! I'll try this :)

If wine doesn't work then I would suggest just using another computer or putting it inside a vm
