Should I try Keychron
you can download an installer from their github repository and install VIA onto your PC to use fully offline without a web browser

Cannot use FN + Number keys
Fn keys are generally determined by the keyboard's firmware not the OS. I have multiple 65% keebs from the likes of Ducky, Durgod & Keychron, all work just fine on Linux. You haven't said what your keyboard is but see if it's supported by via (use the appimage package) and test.

"Received invalid protocol version from device" and "Device must be open first" errors on VIA after updating firmware on K3 Pro RGB ISO
There is also a desktop version.

Hello, so I just received my K10 Pro today, but I keep on getting errors when I try to use VIA. Is this normal? Thanks!
I was able to get this working by installing the desktop version of VIA as suggested here. I am running Debian, so YMMV.

usevia.app in Linux i.e. VIA Support useful for Keychron and other VIA Keyboard users
U can also use the appimage : https://github.com/the-via/releases/releases

How do I download VIA for Linux?
New to Linux so sorry if I'm a noob. I'm trying to install Via through the terminal, but I'm unsure of the package name. Also, I have the link to the GitHub page, but is installing an App Image the same as installing through a terminal?

Using VIA without Internet
I'm running a macOS Monterey computer without any Internet access whatsoever so I downloaded VIA from https://github.com/the-via/releases/releases using another laptop but everytime I run the app on my Mac all I get is a blank white screen. I've noticed that there's a connection attempt to usevia.app (104.21.58.242 or 172.67.166.71) during app launch. I've tried several versions of VIA going back to 2.0.5 but I can't seem to get the app to work. Is an Internet connection actually required to just re-map keys?

Meletrix Zoom65 EE - built this weekend, full report follows
I think you can still download the standalone via app, but they won't ever update it. https://github.com/the-via/releases/releases

VIA Nº3 Released
Hi Cobertt, there is a wrapper available at https://github.com/the-via/releases/releases, it should autoconnect as well so you can have the old experience of the Desktop. I hope that helps!

QMK and Keyboards
> made the customization much more comfy, without the need of recompile the fw
Get someone to write a profile for https://get.vial.today/ support.
> add a damn service to print easily custom keycaps

> please STOP making cherry, OSA etc profiles
They are making them because people keep buying them. Turns out most people actually like typing on them.

Keychron K3 Pro Random Power Off and Via Reset?
Less drastic than reflashing could be to reset to factory defaults. Note that this will wipe out any Via/Vial configuration and other configuration (e.g., RGB mode, RGB colour settings, and NKRO setting).
-
Per-key RGB lighting K3 pro
At all possible? Yes, but probably not from Via. I don't know about Vial (it requires special versions of the keyboard firmware).

The ScottoStarter handwired keyboard
This is the second one I’ve built but it’s for someone else, this is too many keys for me lol. The case is printed in a super nice matte green then it uses Boba U4Ts that sound and feel super nice. The keycaps are just a placeholder while I test the board, I’m certain they’ll put something that matches. The board is fully compatible with Vial and runs on a USB-C Pro Micro.

Double tap to lock fn key? Is this possible using via? K8 Pro
VIA doesn't have any support for configuring tap-dances, nor does the QMK Configurator. Your two options are either using VIAL https://get.vial.today/. Or utilizing the feature directly in QMK source code https://docs.qmk.fm/#/feature_tap_dance.

Different key when tapping/holding with VIA?
This was my exact scenario, and I ended up flashing my keyboard with Vial QMK. It’s a Via-like interface that allows you to edit additional QMK settings like the tap-hold timings.
