How do you reset the keyboard (hotkey or swith on PCB) for QMK ?

Thank you,

Thank you, worked perfectly ! And another one question if you permit : what are hotkeys that allow you to control RGB lights ?  (I tried those indicated in QMK but they don't work... )

RGB_TOG for on/off

RGB_MOD / RGB_RMOD for modes

RGB_HUI / RGB_HUD / RGB_SAI / RGB_SAD / RGB_VAI / RGB_VAD for hue, saturation, brightness

You should be flashing it with a qmk-enabled hex file though

There should be something wrong. I do every step in QMK configurator then in the QMK toolbox. The parameter keys you mentioned are all set. Yet, when I press BL_TOGG (Tab) plus BL+ (W) or BL- (E) nothing happens... Same for other RGB underglow mode. What am I doing wrong ? Maybe I miss something very basic ? Sorry for bothering it drives me mad

BL only covers backlighting which is in-switch LEDs (the two-pin ones)

RGB controls the underglow (SMD RGB LEDs on the PCB). You could just try flashing the VIA hex file located here, and just use VIA with the JSON file uploaded in the Design tab: https://github.com/Natac24/orion-v2.5-qmk-via

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It now works just perfectly well : your workaround is 100% functional.Truly the Elevated elder you are.

Glad to hear. Enjoy your Orion!

One last question if I may about individual LED backlights. I'm on Orion v2.1 PCB and I soldered on every spot, through the switch, a LED diode to the PCB (1.8mm). I then install firmware as you explained me earlier but no lights are turning on. Have you expericnced such an issue ? What might be the problem here ?

If it's on VIA already, you could try turning the backlights on through the Lighting tab, I'd imagine. If not, there may be a keycode for backlight toggling as well that you could map onto the PCB and try pressing that.
