# Keychron
1. set the keyboard to _Windows mode_ using the side switch
1. hold `Fn + X + L` for 4 seconds to set the function key row to _fn mode_
1. ensure the `hid_apple` module is loaded
```shell
sudo modprobe hid_apple
# load at boot
echo 'hid_apple' | sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/keychron.conf
```
1. configure the keyboard's _fn mode_:
```shell
echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode
# load at boot
echo 'options hid_apple fnmode=0' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/keychron.conf
```
