Awesome guide! This helped me a lot because reading the article Drop put up about this process got a bit confusing. One thing I found is that as of today, May 23rd 2022, the command to paste into CMD is "mdloader --first --FILE_NAME --restart" without a leading ./ in front of the command. Also, don't forget to include .bin at the end like I did!

For anyone running into such an issue, be sure to make sure ALL keycodes and layers are properly filled in!

Yes, this is great. It really is the easier tutorial. Good rate of speech for pausing, etc. I was getting the message "could not find a valid device port." I changed the lighting scheme on the board keys to the default rainbow that the keyboard starts with, and ran it again. Now it worked. The first pattern. The second pattern attempt got no port again, tried again, said success, but only shows my second pattern when i hit the function key!! 1st patterns still there. wtf? lol. Ideas? Edit again: Ouch, it was layers! Fixed. Unsure how to restore original factory reset, though. When I pushed a pin in the hole nothing happened. I will need to reset this for my friend.

I actually figured out what it was, you didn't copy all of the name, you need the .bin at the end as well so it recognises the file. So just go back to your configurator file and copy all of it including .bin, add it to the command and run it again with the steps and you'll be set!

I still can't believe people still use QWERTY non-ortholinear non-split non-programmable keyboards. It's not 1897 guys, much, much better layouts exist that are much better for your body, typing speed and computing efficiency - and they don't even take that long to learn, they feel so much better. eg Corne. staggered QWERTY was literally invented to slow down users of typewriters.
