Is there any way to check battery percentage?

Hey! I was wondering if there's any way to remove the light indicator in the bottom right when the keyboard is paired through bluetooth. It bothers me and I wish I could turn it off because there are only three solid colors for it, which don't really match my aesthetic. Thank you!

My FN key blinks white (FN2) but no red light and it disconnects but RGB stays on what I don't understand

Hey my 2,4 ghz usb dongle stopped working for some time now and I read in your guide that you can pair the keyboard back to the dongle via long pressing Fn + R and then the led will blink in a white light. Once its blinking what am I supposed to do? Put the dongle into the PC? Installing the software? Go back to usb mode and then pair it? Thank you in advance

My FN key blinks white (FN2) but no red light and it disconnects but RGB stays on what I don't understand

just happened to me 30 minutes ago and i dont know what to do because my keyboard stopped working with wire

Wired did work and looked like the battery level was too low to register key presses. Was using it on dongle when it occurred and after charging I didn't see it happen again.

Anyone knows if there's any way to override pre-setted fn functions? for example I want to set fn + leftArrow to ctrl + leftArrow (I used to have a ctrl where now I have fn, but I prefere not to move fn key to other one. Any ideas? It also disturbb me in other keys as fn + c for example

no i mean before the whole issue of fn key blinking awhile back wired mode on my keyboard stopped workingSent from my iPhoneOn 31 Dec 2023, at 3:04 AM, loesoe3077 ***@***.***> wrote:Re: ***@***.*** commented on this gist.My FN key blinks white (FN2) but no red light and it disconnects but RGB stays on what I don't understandjust happened to me 30 minutes ago and i dont know what to do because my keyboard stopped working with wireWired did work and looked like the battery level was too low to register key presses.

My fn + keyboard shortcuts aren't working to change brightness, skip music, etc. Anyone know the fix? I have a max btw

Any way to rebind the knob? (not with windows powertools pls)

Does anyone know how to activate the Audio visualizer mode on the keyboard?

What is the correct layout for ´ç´ and ´" "´?

Hello. I found an issue in the programming of GMK67. If you hold any keys and press and release "FN" the keys you were holding will be all released. This is unwanted behavior and is not the case with DZ65 based keyboards, or any other custom keyboards I know of. This diminishes the functionality as I often need to press F1 while holding W, and it makes my W key deregister. Is there any fix?

My GMK67 have the alt and fn swapped. Someone know how to fix it?

@alicercedigital You can remap keys through the software provided in the link above under "Driver/Software". You can simply swap them back into their original places.

What is the correct layout for ´ç´ and ´" "´?

@Takewi "United States-International" on Windows and "US International" (us, alt, int) on Linux and macOS. You can also customize any layout using the keyboard software.

Hello :)
Just got my GMK67. I'm using layout "US International" and everything is working fine except the FN Combinations Keys on my Mac. When I try FN + 8 it only executes the FN8 action, but doesn't starts the music or plays it. Any idea what could be wrong?
I have the keyboard in Mac mode
Thank you so much

is there a way to open the driver software in macOS?

I lost the USB dongle included with the keyboard, is it replaceable?

How to call Right Control key?

I have a lot of issues.

1. my Bluetooth is not connecting, I hold down fn + q, w and e individually and neither of them work
2. my keyboard is the BOYI gmk67 and it didn't come with a USB dongle, how do I replace it.

Hello @FilipJake, this is the menu for the ZUOYA GMK67, I am afraid that the BOYI GMK67 has its own separate manual. Correct me if I am wrong btw.

My fn + keyboard shortcuts aren't working to change brightness, skip music, etc. Anyone know the fix?

@mikkielynn

if you're using MacOS:
go to settings > keyboard > keyboard shortcuts > functions keys, and switch the toggle "Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys"

UPD: actually no, go to keyboard shortcuts > modifier keys. Then Select keyboard as GMK67 and set function key as "no action". this should do the trick

I was using my GMK67 normally and out of nowhere the 2.4 Ghz connection with the dongle stopped working, I've tried restoring the keyboard's factory settings and changing the USB ports and using it on another computer, but nothing works, it only works in USB and Bluetooth mode. , does anyone have a solution to this problem or provide Zuoya support?

did u find any solution? I have the same problem @parthurrodrigues

Is there any firmware update site / files available for this?

I couldn't solve the problem, the manufacturer offered to send me another free USB dongle, but the shipping costs would be on me
But I had already sold the keyboard

The firmware sucks. F1 and F2 doesn't work on Linux. Bluetooth doesn't works on Windows and Linux.
