Weird, my K1SE or K8Pros aren't like that.
Here's one reddit thread about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/j28yzg/k2_v2_does... seems like there's a workaround but obviously far from ideal. edit: actually this may be the one I remember seeing at the time: https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/s/Dewr2dbVNX
"For anyone finding this thread like I just did, all it took for me was plugging the keyboard into a usb 3.0 slot"
I’ve had positive experiences with Keychron products in the past, but I’ve moved past them as I now prefer orthogonal layouts. That said, I loved their support of QMK on my Q1 Pro and I really hope this ends up on that same level.
Ortholinear, surely? Which one do you use/have now?
I have an Inland MK-47 I bought on a whim from Microcenter, but it's been absolutely transformational. It did require a fair amount of setup though:
- I swapped out the switched from crummy reds to some lubed Keychron Browns I had.
- I had some custom keycaps made via https://yuzukeycaps.com/ since the ones it came with were abysmal.
- I had to enlarge the cutout for the USB-C port in the case so it could fit cables other than the one it came with.
- The default shortcuts/functions were bad so I had to customize it in QMK.

Yes. > A question about this situation to their support email resulted in assignment of a ticket number, followed by silence. It's annoying, but it's not the end of the world. I don't even really know what I'd do with QMK if I could use it.

If I may ask: What's good about it for your use?
Keep up the good work.
Biggest change I would request is a password before macros are allowed to be used. I store some sensitive information in macros because I hate typing them out so a feature to unlock macros when the device is first powered up would be great. Example:
1. Device powers off.
2. Lock macros keys.
3. Device powers on.
4. Show led indicating that macros are locked.
5. Enter password to unlock macros.
6. Led indicator turns green or some other colour to indicate that lock was successful upon entering password.
7. Macros can then be used.
Any other ideas would be great.
A bit ago I accidentally bought a Keychron keyboard that didn't have QMK support, but then found that someone had ported it anyway, and I was able to flash it and fix some problems I had (the main one being that it seems like the default firmware only scans a single row of keys while asleep, possibly to save energy, but I want any keypress to wake the computer.) Maybe it's not perfect, but the community around open s…
I think that Keychron is a meme brand surfing on the long tail of custom drops. I have a couple of them a Q1 Pro something, a K* whatever. They are just decent keyboards, a middle of the road. The constant accidental invocation of flashing lights is annoying and then you have to cycle through the presets. Not unique enough for geeks. Their marketing is good. My Moonlander is gathering dust, can't find time to put it…
Is your moonlander not QWERTY? Can’t you just change the layout, if not? Or do you mean the Ortholinear layout is hard to get used to?
I’ve been wanting to buy a moonlander…
It took me three hours to figure out how to blacklist my Keychron keyboard from showing up as a joystick - and screwing up several games that thought they were receiving constant joystick input - in Linux, so I'm not sure how keen I am on using their stuff in the future. Is that a common issue in Linux?
Anyway, if someone finds this by searching, at least on Arch it's as simple as adding a custom hwdb entry at /etc/udev/hwdb.d/61-input-id-local.hwdb:
id-input:modalias:input:b0003v3434p0283*
ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK=
The modalias value is found at /sys/class/input//device/modalias

I can at least say that it's not endemic. I have two different Keychron keyboards, used in different Linux distros. I have never experienced, and wouldn't even had imagined, such a scenario.
Hmm that opens up a way for cheating in games - have a Screengraber and image processing running directly communicate with mouse and let it calculate the distance to region of interest internally and then give out delta position. For the system, it looks like the mouse has been moved very fast and far
I really wanted to like Keychron, but after spending 200$ on one of their high end keyboards, certain keys weren't detecting presses less than a month later. I couldn't end up fixing it so I tossed it out. Felt like a waste
Was the warranty support not able to repair or replace it? I haven't ran into the need to contact them yet so I am curious about how good or bad they are...

That EPOMAKER reminds me of my Leopold Topre keyboard.
