Reply to comment by ImproperEatenKitKat in Keychron K8 Pro + VIA 2.1.0 by radakul

I would agree. Unfortunately it seems that the upstream developers for QMK haven't yet accepted KeyChron for some reason or another (I saw mentions of it on github but don't claim to understand all of what was said), so until they do that we have to use the manual method

I asked KeyChron support and they said they have no plans for Keychrons definitions to get added upstream

I haven't built a KeyChron yet, but I could've sworn they advertise QMK and VIA support

They do! And they DID have full VIA support until VIA updated to 2.1.0, which broke the keyboard definitions that worked on 1.3.1.

Thing is, it's not native support - you can't plug in your keyboard and get it automatically detected. You open via, plug the board, load the definition and THEN it works.
