Vendor and product IDs must match the USB IDs in your QMK keyboard.json. Vial ignores them.

Next step

Ready

Build this keyboard's PCB and plates in the Ergogen Builder (best for split, column-staggered layouts), or wire it and write its keymap in the Firmware Kit for QMK, Vial, VIA or ZMK. Every tool works on this same keyboard.

vial.json

Goes in keyboards/<your board>/keymaps/vial/vial.json in vial-qmk. Built from the matrix, layout options and encoders you set on each key.
