Instructions for flashing Massdrop CRTL with Signal RGB Firmware:

You are responsible if you brick your keyboard!

Note: This will override any custom keymaps you have made!

  1. Grab a paperclip or other small object as you will need this later.
  2. Download firmware for your keyboard from: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bpmfb5bu37qg1sq/AACtKdbnyHkbIf3kmZE2q2sla?dl=0
  3. Download Massdrop Loader from: https://github.com/Massdrop/mdloader/releases/download/1.0.6/mdloader-Windows.zip
  4. Create a new folder named Massdrop, and extract the firmware and the mdloader executable into the newly created Massdrop folder.

The image above point 6 is missing. What would it say please? I’m hesitant to try this without knowing what the successful message should be before I press the little button with a paperclip. Cheers

The Dropbox link above doesn’t work. It says the file has been deleted. Are there updated instructions for flashing the Drop CTRL keyboard?
