remapping keychron v3 via/qmk on linux? how to upgrade/reset the firmware? (lemmy.ca)

I have a keychron v3 (official docs which of course I have looked through) keyboard with a knob. I would like to upgrade the firmware so I can map the knob.

I am using VIA v 3.0.0 AppImage on Manjaro linux. I did the udev thing and it seems to pretty much work.

The factory reset instructions on the keychron website only explain Mac/Windows and I don't know how to transfer them to Linux. Actually I am not sure if this is even the required procedure to upgrade the firmware but it's the closet I can find.

What if I use the hardware reset without the software running on the computer?

Any other tips for mapping this keyboard with linux... I am having a hard time generally as it is apparently undocumented. I can't access their facebook group.

Ah I see there is a confusion. The button under the space bar is the flashing mode button, only for flashing new firmware. The factory reset is for when you brick the keyboard.

When I flash firmwares I use the button under the space bar. I remembered screwed up once , but I forgot which key combo I used to reset it.
