Are you addicted to the clicking sounds of your beautiful and impressive mechanical keyboard?
If so, this community is for you!
Here you can discuss everything about mechanical keyboards (and only mechanical keyboards).

Windows only... Does this mean the maps created won't work on Linux boxes? If I create the map on my windows burner, can I then use those maps on other, non-win devices?
Edit: I contacted support. To manage and create new maps, you need windows. However, those maps are then stored on the keyboard, and will work with any system (granted it supports kb entry, of course).
Oh nice, that's good to know. I wonder if it's possible to run their remapping program in a Windows virtual machine. If it works, it still wouldn't be convenient, but you wouldn't have to do it often, either.

That should work if you can pass through the entire USB host device to the VM.
I do this with my QK80, which also has Windows only software. I have a KVM virtual machine with Windows, and when I want to configure the QK80, I use the "pass through USB host device" option to give it direct access to the keyboard, and run the software in the VM. It works fine.
If you do this, you temporarily need to connect a second keyboard though because as soon as you pass through the keyboard to the VM it becomes inaccessible for the host OS.
Nice, it's good to know that the software being Windows-only isn't a dealbreaker for keyboards.
