Hi all, I have a quick and possibly very simple question. I have a keychron V6 with red switches being delivered to me tomorrow. I just want to know what switches and keycaps will fit this keyboard? This is my very first mechanical/swappable keyboard and I know nothing about it. I want to try other switches, mainly brown, blue and yellow. Also want to have a different look keycaps every now and then. I’ve searched on their site, but I had no idea which ones to choose. lol Thanks in advance.

    Keychron right? There should be four layers. 0 and 1 are for when the keyboard is set to Mac, 2 and 3 when it is set to Windows.

      Yes, keychron. I know about 0 1 2 3, but what I’m talking about is the section in the app where it says “Layers” then it has squares with F1s and F3s and so on.

        Oh! They’re the ways you can configure a key to interact with layers! The hover usually is quite self-explanatory. But yes, might want to do a search if some of them are not clear.

        There’s actually a lot you can do; If you ever feel like VIA can’t let you do something, you can actually program strings directly with the “Any” key in the “Special” category. That lets you directly enter QMK keycodes, and you can set up pretty nifty functions if you want to. That’s definitely a long read or video for another time though.
