Please Note
- This method only applies when a Keychron QMK keyboard is connected to a Windows computer.
- If your Keychron QMK keyboard is not recognized by Keychron Launcher or VIA when connected to certain Windows PCs, but works fine on other computers, you can use SimpleHIDWrite to test HID-class devices.
Please Follow The Instructions:
1. First, connect your QMK keyboard to the Windows computer with recognition issues, and download the SimpleHIDWrite utility. Here is the link: http://janaxelson.com/hidpage.htm

4. Then, write the data as below steps to check if there is any response.
Step 1: Enter “1” in the first input field.
Step 2: Click the “Write” button.
5. If the keyboard responds, the following image will be displayed, indicating that the interface is functioning normally. Now, your keyboard should be able to be successfully recognized by Keychron Launcher or VIA.
