Experimental & Beta Program

We’re all about Continuous Improvement. And the fist of the Twelve Principles of Agile Philosophy is: “It is all about the customer and delivering value early.”

With that in mind - herein we will publish our WIP (“Work In Progress”) firmware.

Please note that resources on this page are EXPERIMENTAL, pre-release, and non-supported. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! (The source is given though.)
Please note that any "version" (i.e., "V2", "V3") referred to herein pertains to the PCB version, not the keyboard case version. Please ensure that the PCB you're flashing is the correct one, as the PCB and the case versions do not always align.
If you have issues please contact us at our Discord Server. (But support is very limited.)

(These in development in the IDOBAO repository.)

¹ = For instructions on how to flash firmware see our Flashing Guide page. (Skip step 1)
² = For instructions on how to side-load VIA JSON files see our Sideloading VIA JSON help page. (Skip step 1)
³ = The Abacus features firmware from Vial. You do not need to use VIA or side-load VIA JSON for this to work in Vial.
Vial can be downloaded from get.vial.today
⁴ = This firmware includes new features:

Caps Lock LED indicator. Caps Lock glows white regardless of RGB off or on, when the caps lock is activated.
4-state RGB Toggle. States are: 1 = All ON, 2 = Underglow ON, per-key off, 3 = Underglow off, per-key ON, 4 = All off.
Full support for QMK RGB Matrix, including 40× LED animations
VIA’s “LIGHTING” tab bug fixed in VIA JSON file

⁵ = Special build for macOS users.

= Source code for the firmware files can be found in our QMK fork, located at github.com/Idobao/qmk.qmk_firmware.
Please do not contact us about how to compile the code, this is not supported - but if you already know that, and have useful feedback, please feel free to contact us on our Discord Server.
