How to turn on the HackberryPi?

Turn the red switch to the right position and then press the red button to the left side of the red switch to power the USB Hub Controller Chip otherse the keyboard can't be used! At the same time the indicator for the battery voltage will be turned on.

Keyboard

The keyboard type is blackberry Q10 or Q20 keyboard. Both have the same keyboard layout.
There is a red switch on the left side to decide if the keyboard controller communicates with the HackberryPi or with other device through the USBC-Port underneath.
The idea about this is you can connect the keyboard with your computer and customize the keymap using VIAL or the handheld can be used as an emergency keyboard mouse combo.

How to change the keymap?

Put the red switch to the lower position, connect the keyboard with your computer, open VIAL page, then you can customize the keymap yourself.
