Keychron QMK Keyboard Shortcuts Introduction

What is a QMK Keyboard?

QMK stands for Quantum Mechanical Keyboard. It’s an open-source firmware, which provides the tools for both geeky users and tech-savvy developers to facilitate custom layout needs for their keyboards. This firmware can control backlighting effects, macros, custom keycodes, mouse commands, and different keymap layers, enabling developers to modify keyboard firmware to fulfill specific needs or add new features.

With these personalized key settings, a QMK-enabled keyboard can help boost productivity in many ways, allowing users to make changes with ease. Click here to learn more about QMK.
