VIA is an open-source web application for configuring QMK-powered mechanical keyboards directly from the browser. It lets users remap keys, create macros, and adjust RGB lighting on the fly without recompiling firmware.

Use cases

  • remap keys on my qmk keyboard without flashing firmware
  • create macros for my mechanical keyboard
  • configure rgb lighting on my keyboard in the browser
  • test keyboard layouts before committing them to firmware
  • add via support for my custom keyboard
  • configure keyboard layers on the fly

When to choose

  • you own a QMK-powered keyboard with VIA support and want live configuration
  • you want a no-install, browser-based keymap and macro editor
  • you are a keyboard maker adding VIA definitions for your boards

When to avoid

  • your keyboard runs firmware other than QMK (e.g. ZMK or KMK)
  • you need a fully offline desktop configurator
  • your keyboard lacks a merged VIA definition
