Custom Programming

The open-source ZMK Programming Engine is an incredibly 

powerful platform designed by keyboard enthusiasts, for keyboard 

enthusiasts. Power users can edit the online configuration files to

Engine is hosted on the 3rd party GitHub platform. Kinesis does not 

control this content and can only provide limited support.
