Simple GUI frontend to dfu-util

Requires that the dfu-util binary/symlink be in the same directory as ./kii-dfu

dfu-util can be found here: dfu-util Please use 0.8 or higher if possible.

Download and run Zadig Plug in the controller/keyboard and set into 're-flash mode'. (Just press the button on the back of keyboard, an led should turn on)

'Kiibohd DFU Bootloader' should show up. In Driver, press the Up/Down arrows until you find 'libusbK' Click 'Install Driver'

Driver installation finished

Then copy dfu-util.exe to the same directory as kii-dfu.exe

Browse to the .dfu.bin file to flash. Click Flash

List Devices can be used to see if dfu-util can see your device. You may need to run the utility as root.

Linux

For Linux it is also possible to a udev rules file to /etc/udev/rules.d 98-kiibohd.rules

Then run:

udevadm control --reload-rules

And reconnect the USB device. You should no longer require root to flash the keyboard
