Firmware Reflashing/Update

Preparation:

  • Download the latest firmware version here
  • Save your layout in the Entropy by opening the “Layout” menu, then selecting “Export layout”

Installation

To reflash/update the firmware, the keyboard must be put into bootloader mode. This can be done in several ways. Choose one:

  1. Using the RESET button:

    • Connect the USB power cable and quickly press the RESET button twice on the bottom of the keyboard
    • Wait until the controller enters bootloader mode and the storage folder opens

  2. Using the BOOT button:

    • Hold the BOOT button on the bottom of the keyboard and connect the USB power cable
    • Wait until the controller enters bootloader mode and the storage folder opens
  • Copy or drag and drop the UF2 file, after which the controller should immediately reboot and start working in normal mode
  • Import the layout in the Entropy by opening the “Layout” menu, then selecting “Import layout”

Care and Maintenance

  • Periodically clean dust and dirt from the case with a dry or slightly damp cloth
  • For the trackball module: keep the ball, ceramic bearings, and ball cavity clean
To remove the ball, pull it in the opposite direction from the trackball base
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents (acetone, gasoline, solvents (646, white spirit), concentrated acids, or alkalis)!
Do not allow liquid to enter the device!

Support

The keyboard comes with a 3-year warranty and service support.
