4.3 QMK/VIA Programmability

The Womier Q75 supports QMK/VIA open-source software, allowing for extensive customization of key layouts, macros, and lighting effects. You can remap any key to suit your preferences across macOS, Windows, or Linux systems. Note that key remapping must be performed in wired mode; once configured, the keymap will function in both wireless and wired modes.

To use QMK/VIA, download the software from the official QMK/VIA website and connect your keyboard via USB-C. Follow the software's instructions for customization.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

To clean your keyboard, first disconnect it from all power sources. Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution. Avoid spraying liquids directly onto the keyboard. For cleaning between keycaps, use compressed air or a small brush.

5.2 Hot-Swappable Switches

The Womier Q75 features hot-swappable sockets, allowing you to easily change mechanical switches without soldering. This keyboard is compatible with both 3-pin and 5-pin switches.

1. Using the provided keycap puller, carefully remove the desired keycap.
2. Using the provided switch puller, gently grip the top and bottom clips of the switch and pull upwards to remove it from the PCB.
3. Align the pins of the new switch with the holes on the PCB. Ensure the pins are straight to avoid bending.
4. Press the new switch firmly into place until it clicks.

2. Align the new keycap with the switch stem and press down firmly until it is securely seated.

6. Troubleshooting

• Keyboard not responding:
  • Ensure the keyboard is charged.
  • Check the connection mode switch (2.4G, BT, USB-C) on the back of the keyboard matches your intended connection.
  • For 2.4GHz, ensure the USB dongle is securely inserted.
  • For Bluetooth, ensure the keyboard is paired correctly with your device and selected as the input device. Try re-pairing.
  • Try connecting via USB-C cable to rule out wireless issues.
• RGB backlight not working or stuck:
  • Ensure the backlight is not turned off (Fn + Back).
  • Try adjusting brightness (Fn + ↑ / ↓).
  • Cycle through effects (Fn + Enter) or colors (Fn + \).
  • A factory reset (if available via QMK/VIA) might resolve persistent issues.
• Keys not registering or double-typing:
  • This could indicate a faulty switch. Utilize the hot-swappable feature to replace the affected switch.
  • Ensure the switch is fully seated in its socket.
• QMK/VIA software not detecting keyboard:
  • Ensure the keyboard is connected via USB-C cable. QMK/VIA programming typically requires a wired connection.
  • Verify that the correct firmware is loaded or that the software is up to date.
