# Hyper7 R4

## For Pre-Builds

* Your keyboard is flashed and ready to go! You can use it straight away. 
* If you are using a Chrome or Edge based browser, use the [usevia.app](https://usevia.app/#/) website
   to change your keymap layout. You can also try the [standalone app](https://github.com/the-via/releases/releases). 

{% hint style="warning" %}
Some of the keybinds are custom and will be lost if you remap those keys. If you want them back, use the [flashing files](#flash-files) below. You can also edit the keymap to your heart content within QMK
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Not sure how to change your keymap file using VIA? Check out our** [**guide**](/guides/other-guides/using-via.md) **(coming soon)**
{% endhint %}

* The keymap that is pre-flashed is shown below

{% tabs fullWidth="true" %}
{% tab title="Modern" %}

<div data-full-width="true"><figure><img src="/files/NvMuciHP9rF2MS25TPfH" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Classic" %}

<figure><img src="/files/reGk4E2HFzE0X2LJjQPK" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

To change between Modern and Classic layout within VIA, use the Configure tab under the Layouts section. Here is where you can swap between 2u or 1u for the top area too.&#x20;

## Flash Files

If you ever need to reflash your keyboard, hold down the top left most button on the bottom PCB (F3) while plugging in the keyboard. Then use [QMK Toolbox](https://qmk.fm/toolbox). Locate the file. MCU choice doesn't matter.&#x20;

Default:

{% file src="/files/EUJ5v1cLZZZOwHmOCvTf" %}

Matrix Tester (All keys are bound to "1"):

{% file src="/files/Y71waH6jQS6M7sjvrwHb" %}
