r/Keychron on Reddit: Launcher will not detect my keyboard
February 8, 2025 -

SOLVED - "Ok, great. Download the appropriate JSON file from here and follow the VIA instructions at the bottom of the page."

only connects to VIA but apparently its pretty much the same as the launcher

I recently got a Keychron K10 V2 and it works fine except that whenever I try to connect to the launcher or VIA it fails, saying "No Valid HID Device configuration found."

It shows up in the HID section, but when i click connect it fails.

I am on windows 10 (tried on a windows 11 device tho and it didnt work), using a wired connection in windows mode.

I have tried installing drivers, updating firmware, resetting the board, trying a different cable, tried a different machine, switching to chrome/edge from firefox

I've contacted customer support but they haven't solved it either.

Wondering if anyone else has had this issue and solved it somehow

Issues with Keychron Keyboards in VIA · Issue #91 · the-via/app
December 27, 2022 - As far as I know, Keychron firmware was built and installed before the change from V2 to V3 (because their "VIA Guide" refers to an old version of VIA), so most likely VIA needs a V2 definition loaded in order to recognize a device with that V2-compatible firmware. Technical details: If VIA detects QMK firmware built with VIA_PROTOCOL_VERSION of 11+ it will require a V3 definition, otherwise it requires a V2 definition. All keyboards in QMK master branch should have both V2 and V3 definitions in the Github repository, thus VIA will work with old firmware and newly built firmware.

When I open the VIA app, it just gets stuck on a screen that says "Searching for devices..." Can you tell me how to proceed?/ VIA does not recognise/detect my Q3. – Keychron | Support Center
Reconnect your keyboard power cable. If VIA still doesn’t pair together after you reconnect the power cable, download the Keychron Q3 keymap JSON file which can be found here. Open the VIA and turn on "Show Design tab" in the "Settings" tab. Drag the JSON file into the “Design” tab on the VIA. VIA should pair together with the Keychron Q3 now.

r/Keychron on Reddit: cant connect to VIA
December 2, 2023 -

hi, i just bought the q3 pro se knob version, and i cant seem to connect to the VIA software, both via the website and the app. I have no idea to fix this, and i'm not really tech-savvy to know how to look into .json files and such (searching for stuff on github is a nightmare for me).

I found like 1 other person asking for the same thing, but no one really had an answer, so i'm basically stuck.

If someone knows how to fix it, i'm all ears!
