DFU Mode

more_vert
Purchased the Drop SHIFT V2 and i'm trying to update the layout. Once I'm insie of command and it's looking for the product, I hit FN+B to put it into DFU mode and it does nothing. Is it different on the Shift V2? Thanks for the help in advance!

Yeah, It's a bummer as I haven't used the keyboard at all because I cant change the bindings or anything. A little support would've gone a long way here.

Nrmastro429Yeah, it sucks that Drop is choosing to ignore its customers. Luckily, I think a found a way around this crappy behavior. Check out these links. I was able to download a firmware update that enables VIA and with the usevia.app, I have been able to update layers, keymaps, etc.
  1. Hold the ESC key when you connect the keyboard.
  2. Copy the CURRENT.UF2 file to your computer, just in case.
  3. Delete CURRENT.UF2.
  4. Copy over the downloaded drop_shift_v2_via.uf2.
It disconnected and gave me an error on Pop!_OS. Once I reconnected, it was working normally and it was visible on the usevia.app site. I was able to make edits through the site and the changes are applied instantly. Hopefully, this will help you out as well. https://www.caniusevia.com/docs/download_firmware
