Sonix QMK Status Update, Installation, and Demonstration with OpenRGB

Date: 2021-04-03

This is a long one!  I've been wanting to do a detailed explanation of the QMK port for EVision/Sonix keyboards for a while now and this is it.  In this video, I describe what Sonix QMK is and then demonstrate installing it on my Redragon K556 keyboard.  I compare the RGB effects from the stock firmware against what you can achieve with QMK, including audio visualizer and game integration.  I also show how to revert the keyboard back to the original firmware.
