Flashing - Windows

The following instructions are to be completed the first time you use the keyboard on a new computer. After you have installed keyboard drivers with Zadig and DFU-Util you will not need to install them again if everything is working properly.

1. Download Zadig (LINK)
2. Plug in any Input Club keyboard
3. Run Zadig
4. Select "Options" and then select "List All Devices"
5. From the dropdown select "API Interface (Interface 5)" or "RawIO API Interface (Interface 5)"
6. Using the arrows below select the driver libusbK (Version number will update)
7. Click the large button that says "Install Driver", "Reinstall Driver" or "Replace Driver" (this depends on the devices you have used with this computer).

After you have installed libusbK on the API Interface we are also going to install it for the K-Type.

1. Press FN + ESC on the K-Type to put the K-Type in flash mode (If this does not work, use a paperclip or other device and press the flashing button on the back of the keyboard it is located inside the small hole).

2. With your K-Type in Flash mode you should see an entry in the Zadig dropdown entitled simply "K-Type" (Zadig will automatically update)

3. Select the same libusbK driver from the driver list and press either "Install Driver", "Reinstall Driver" or "Replace Driver".

4. Download DFU-UTIL (LINK) and unzip to a folder that you know the location of.
