QMK: github.com/qmk... MDLoader: github.com/Mas... Configurator: www.massdrop.c... Here is the command I use in the video mdloader_windows.exe --first --download led.bin --restart
I come back to this video every few months when I change something on my keyboard because I can never remember the process. Thank you for making this.

Dude thank you so much. Such a complicated process in attempts to go out of their way to not make a software which for some reason is taboo in the KB community. Anyways, it seems difficult at first, but once you get it the first time, it's a breeze to repeat. Top notch vid and I appreciate it!

Actually you don't have to use a pin underneath the keyboard to reset when uploading the firmware. All you have to do is hold down the function key and the "b" key (FN+B) for 5 seconds and let go and it will perform the reset for you.

Legend. After about two hours into trying to fix this process your tutorial worked! Just an FYI for some people, I tried saving the massdrop configuration for my alt on google chrome and it would not download it and I kept getting an error, turns out this was the issue the whole time. Used internet explorer and it downloaded first time and worked instantly after I got the software to download properly.

Damn....I was a hop skip from ordering the CTRL cause I thought it looked great. Now I see though, everything you have to go through to get a custom color from the RGB range.....and looks like I will just go back to the Ducky TKL I was looking at. Oh well, maybe someone will one day make a more intuitive/easier software for this board, or another company that already has the software will make an equally good looking board. What a shame, I am constantly changing colors and doing small tweaks, I really dont have time for all of this on this software.

Thank you so much! Instructions where a pain in the ass I was able to change my windows & Fn Keys. Make a second page for a number pad in my alt. Holding where the windows key was gave me page one with color options and volume changes. holding where windows key was and Ctrl gave me page 2 with number pad. Didn't work the first time, just told my scanning for device. Tried again and worked. Thinking it was because I waited too long to hit enter after hitting the reset button.

It doesn't recognize mdloader as an internal or external command. This was used under the Administrator Command Prompt. I used the regular Command Prompt and it wouldn't allow me because it said "This app can't run on your PC." I used the command in the description.

You have 60 seconds while it searches for the device so you don't need to bring up the on-screen keyboard or use another keyboard in order to hit enter. Just enter the command then reset the keyboard. This could be a new feature I am not sure about that.

This was a pain in the ass for me on Linux. Couple of things. For some reason the mdloader would absolutely not run unless proceeded by "./" so for example ./mdloader_linux instead of just mdloader_linux ... The other thing that helped was sticking --verbose at the end of the command. Helped me figure out I needed to run with sudo as for some reason the software didn't have the elevated privileges it needed to run. So for me the entire commandline entry looked like "sudo ./mdloader_linux --first --download --FILENAME.bin --restart --verbose" Then I was off to the races. I'd also add that you don't need to use an on screen keyboard. You have a 60second window to hit the reset button on the back of the keeb after you smack the enter key.
