            Getting your mechanical keyboard working VIA Mac

Body

   Much thanks to u/theogdeltag[1], I was finally able to get my Wormier
   RD75[2] working on macOS like I'd expect it to (using Option +
   Command to quickly navigate tabs in Sublime Text and browsers being
   such a workflow).

   VIA[3] is basically how you remap keys, update firmware, &c for
   seemingly all indie keyboard manufacturers? Anyhoo:

   I think by default, the remapping affects the Windows mode (my
   keyboard has toggles), which doesn't matter either way for me (just
   an FYI for you).
