And of course they had to shoehorn some AI bullshit in it

(why I installed this driver: because i can remap the two extra buttons as copy/paste)

    Sell the 8bitdo keyboard and buy one instead that is capable of running with QMK or ZMK firmware and is configurable by either VIA or VIAL.

      Wooting keyboards are also really nice, and are configured through a web interface. It’s also a Dutch company, so if you want to buy European it’s definitely a good choice :)

        A web interface? Is the keyboard running a webserver or is it remotely managed by the manufacturers website?

        I’m confused about configuring keyboards via web app.

          Nah just a website you navigate to and then it communicates over USB. There’s a desktop app too but it’s just an electron wrapper.

        QMK and ZMK are FOSS firmwares that can run on Atmel AVR and ARM chips like the RP2040.

        VIA or VIAL are config utilities that you can use to remap your keyboard on the fly.
