They are making them because people keep buying them. Turns out most people actually like typing on them.

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).

At all possible? Yes, but probably not from Via. I don't know about Vial (it requires special versions of the keyboard firmware).

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.

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.

This firmware update will make it compatible with open source software called Vial... https://get.vial.today/

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.

Flashing custom firmware - the current version QMK tool off the website won't work. You'll most likely get a "USB device connected (NO DRIVER): WB Device in DFU Mode " and not be able to flash anything. You will need the beta version that supports WB32 flashing utility. I grabbed mine from the GMMK guide QMK tool from GMMK

You first have to download QMK toolbox https://github.com/qmk/qmk_toolbox/releases/download/0.2.2/qmk_toolbox.exe. Once downloaded, download this bin file https://github.com/GHv4/Sense75-CAPSLOCK-UNDERGLOW/blob/main/sense75-CAPSLOCK%20UNDERGLOW.bin. Open the QMK toolbox exe file, then hit the open button. Locate the .bin file. Hold Right FN+BACKSPACE until it pops up in QMK Toolbox. Hit flash and wait for it to finish flashing. Via and Vial compatible. YOU'RE WELCOME FRIENDS!!

Flash it with qmk toolbox: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_toolbox/releases

I got things working by using the https://github.com/qmk/qmk_toolbox project, and the firmware file you linked. As you said, my pad now works with Vial, and has 12 layers. Though the layer selector still only traverses between layers 0 through 3.

- QMK MSYS: you'll need it for many things, for compiling your firmware file and for flashing, especially if flashing with QMK Toolbox isn't permitted in firmware settings (in this case QMK Toolbox just won't recognize your keyboard);

I am currently using the QMK online configurator tool to do the compilation and download the resulting .bin file, and then the QMK Toolbox to flash it onto the keyboard.

Check out this site: http://kpchn.com/s/PoHJ. I found it from the AliExpress page and it leads to all the VIA/VIAL configs for the KPRepublic boards. Go into CSTC75 and you'll see a .hex file, that's the firmware. You should be able to use the QMK toolbox: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_toolbox to flash the firmware.

When I first plugged them in, my Mac (running 13.1 Ventura) recognized them as a USB storage device. I was trying to use the QMK toolbox to flash the firmware onto them, not realizing that I needed to drag and drop a .uf2 file instead of trying to flash a .hex file.
