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.

Take a look at https://scottokeebs.com, he has a lot of open source designs that involve hand-soldering so no PCB required. Just 3d print a case top and bottom, add switches, diodes, wire, ucontroller, cheap blank keycaps, and some soldering work. With bulk purchases it might be below the €30 threshold (filament might push you over budget?)

I teased this build months ago and finally am getting ready to build it, I’m calling it the “ScottoWing”. It will have both 3x5 and 3x6 layouts as an option along with various different styles for the plates. All files will be available for free once I upload the build video on my YouTube channel.

Anyway, when I share my boards, I like to share a few things: 1. I make videos on these boards along with tons of things related to them such as QMK, handwiring, PCBs, etc. 2. All the handwired boards I design are released completely for free. 3. You can keep up to date on the project or support me at scottokeebs.com.

All my handwired boards are released open-sourced and for free but if you don't have a 3D printer, you can support the project by buying a case from my shop. I like to think that my cases are priced pretty competitively with print-on-demand services and I make sure they are printed with the proper tolerances before shipping.

I have this KLE JSON that I made for a split board, it renders as the following on KLE:

I'm pretty hyped this is finally built. Following /u/JoeScotto's instructions at https://github.com/joe-scotto/scottokeebs/tree/main/ScottoFly and https://www.youtube.com/@joe_scotto made it way easier! I highly recommend checking his resources out for build and handwiring instructions.

All of my boards in my ScottoKeebs project avoid homerow mods. I put mods on the thumb cluster, shift on Z and ?, and various tap dance functions to get full functionality.

It actually has all the keys of a regular keyboard: https://github.com/joe-scotto/scottokeebs/blob/main/ScottoFrog/Firmware/single-handed.jpg

Anyway, as usual when I share my boards, I like to share a few things: 1. I make videos on these boards and have one planned for this one eventually. 2. All the boards I design are released completely for free. 3. You can keep up to date on the project at scottokeebs.com
