Title: TES84 and VIA?
Post by: Jimbodiah on Fri, 07 January 2022, 23:19:54

Does anyone know if the Tester84 keyboard can be set up with software like VIA? VIA itself does not recognize it, perhaps there are other options?

If it has an atmega (or other supported controller chip) it can be done, it has a really bad name for searching so a link to the board in question would be useful :)

Sorry to say it has "driver software" for "button customization" which almost certainly means you are stuck with whatever firmware it comes with.

Not a big deal as I only use it for backlighting. Can't expect too much for $30, but would have been a nice extra.
