It seems that there are many people who bought this product and are suffering from VIA1.3.1 not recognizing their keyboards properly.
I suffered from the same problem and solved it by searching.
First, update the firmware of the keyboard with the following method.
https://wiki.keebmonkey.com/en/guides/kb16update
Then, get the VIA3.0 version and run it, and it will be recognized well.
https://github.com/the-via/releases/releases/tag/v3.0.0
There is a security problem when downloading, but it seems to be caused by the part that directly controls the keyboard, but if you ignore it and download and run it, it works fine.
Then I hope you have a pleasant keyboard life.
For reference, the keyboard names used for two or more key combinations are as follows.
https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/docs/keycodes.md#modifiers-idmodifiers
Also, I wish Megalodon would make more of an effort to post detailed information about these things on the main page sooner rather than later, so that this good product doesn't end up in a warehouse being cursed by consumers.

I'd personally stay miles away from this product based on my experience with the 38% model. No support from Keebmonkey whatsoever in terms of technical support, their sales team to arrange a refund, or anything else that could make my 38% keeb functional beyond being a paperweight.

whferrell1Werd. I've been going back and forth with a member of the Drop community about this issue and even they can't get answers

I've had mine for about 3 months and the 3rd column of keys no longer work. Most of the LEDs have stopped working too. I got it for XMas new and its the 2nd revision. I tried the new firmware update and it updated successfully but did not fix the issue.

Just got my Megalodon Triple Knob and love it so far. Easy to flash and get running with the latest VIA.
Only thing I am having an issue with is the Macropad isn't shutting down with my computer. The RGB stays on and the screen will illuminate if I touch anything. Is there any way to get this to shut down alongside my computer?

I have the black version and enjoy using it, but find the large knob is a bit loose compared to the 2 smaller knobs, and doesn't always register when the knob clicks. Has anyone else encountered this, and is there any way to fix this?

KeebmonkeyCool. Do you clowns mind throwing down the firmware for the 38% any time this century?

For seemingly no reason, nearly 90% of the RGB backlighting has failed. Only the 2 keys on the top left of the device still have backlighting (this is not a software issue, as it persists no matter what device I connect it to). Has anyone encountered this issue?

penguinwomanI'm having this issue as well. The 3rd column of keys also doesn't register. The matrix tester reports them all as being held down. This is a revision 2 and was given to me for Xmas brand new. Has anyone found the issue? I've tried the KeebMonkey firmware upgrade but it didn't make a difference with this issue.

I upgraded VIA 1.3.1. to VIA 2.1.0, and it no longer imported the .json file.
I turned on "Use V2 definitions" but still nothing, so i uninstalled 2.1.0 and tried to reinstall 1.3.1. but the installer got stuck every time.
So it turns out VIA 1.3.1. left some junk in the Windows Registry, if you have the same issue with the 1.3.1. installer go to regedit, and:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{4cee3971-2306-5318-a68a-af72635cc55f}
I removed them one by one, it didn't let the last one, so i removed {4cee3971-2306-5318-a68a-af72635cc55f} itslef.
After that i had no issue with the VIA 1.3.1. installer, it finished, i could import the .json file once again.
I also tried with a laptop that never had VIA on it.
First I installed 2.1.0. - i couldn't import the .json file - then after uninstalling 2.1.0, and installing 1.3.1 (the installer worked fine this time) i was able to import the .json file.

KeebmonkeyBefore you do this make sure that you screenshot your layouts, and copy your macros from the 1.3.1. app to a text file.
I did the firmware update, the macropad went back to it's default layout, i couldn't load my old layout back in VIA 2.2.0 .
Luckily as mentioned i had everything to remake my layout and macros quickly.
I saved the new layout and it loads fine.
You can now add delays to your macros! :)
Can confirm VIA auto-detection works:
