Expert Only: Make your Keyboard Programmable
We are not liable for any issues that occur from flashing this firmware on your keyboard. Please
make sure you do not turn off your device while it flashes, and you understand that this could
possibly brick your keyboard. If you do not need to rebind your keys or change your lights, it's
suggested you do not continue.
1. Head to this link:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Rb35rBHt48ZhOIZJ4FvYF2C8i7TiXgXD
2. You will see two executables. One being the KeyCool-Setup-1.0.1.2.exe, and another
being the KC84-2.4G_V1.05_20061103.exe.
3. You want to first download KC84-2.4G_V1.05_20061103.exe, this will be the firmware
flasher that will get the new firmware on the keyboard. Since the only publicly available
firmware is for a Bluetooth model, your keyboard might have some functions for
Bluetooth added like “FN + Tab”. You can’t use Bluetooth as your keyboard is Wired.
4. This is the tool we will use to flash the keyboard. Connect your keyboard using a cable
and press the blue button to start the flashing process. Do not disconnect your keyboard,
and make sure your computer will not power off or it will brick the device.
5. You should hear your keyboard disconnect and reconnect. When you see the lights turn
on, you can close the flasher.

6. Download KeyCool-Setup-1.0.1.2.exe and run the file. This is what you will use to
program your keyboard and lighting. If you didn’t flash the previous firmware, most
features will not work.

7. You should see the keyboard pop up. You can then click the image of the Keycool
keyboard to open the softwares features.
8. You can now see the different sections of the software. Going to this section you can
change your lighting, but there are also macros, rebinding keys and other things you can
use. I hope you enjoy it!

General Questions:
Is this keyboard Bluetooth?
No, it is a wired model only.
Why does my function keys not work with Linux?
The solution is here. That eventually leads you to Ubuntu bug #1814481 where you learn that
Ubuntu defaults the function keys to some kind of Apple multimedia key mappings. This behavior
can be disabled by zeroing a 'fnmode' parameter in the Apple 'HID' driver:
echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode
If it works, then you can make the fix permanent by:
echo 'options hid_apple fnmode=0' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/hid_apple.conf
sudo update-initramfs -u
