VIA

VIA does what QMK does but through a web site we can load custom JSON for our keyboard. Then we can remap keys, and add macros, etc. All stored on our keyboard so will work with any machine. There is basically a mini computer in our Keyboard that we can control through a web site. Amazing stuff. I don't think I could have adjusted to 75% Layout without it.

Step By Step

  1. Connect through 2.4GHZ
  2. Go to rainy 75 support and DL JSON
  3. Extract. I will be using the RGB 2.4G Rainy 75-2.4G.JSON
  4. Go to https://www.usevia.app/
  5. Zoom out to 50% In browser to see buttons (100% always hides stuff)
  6. Go to "Settings" tab from the top buttons
  7. Click on "Show Design tab" button
  8. Go to "Design" tab.
  9. Upload/load the JSON file (download it from wobkey.com )
  10. Go to the "Configure" tab
  11. Click on "+ Authorize Device"
  12. Now, when you give it the permission, the layers should show up.
  13. TL;DR you need to upload the JSON before giving it permission from Chrome for it to work.
  14. Select a Key to remap up top
  15. It will keep blinking
  16. Select new function below to assign
  17. It seems to immediately save to keyboard

This feels more natural to me and more like TKL layout.
