Learn how to use the VIA software on your Multix 104 VIA V2 keyboard to remap keys and customize your typing experience. Step-by-step guide included.

Quick answer

You can remap keys on your Multix 104 VIA V2 using the VIA software, which lets you assign new functions to any key without altering the physical switches.

Why remap with VIA instead of swapping switches

The Multix 104 VIA V2 includes a hot-swap socket for Gateron switches, but swapping hardware is only one part of customization. VIA software handles the logical layer: changing what each keypress does, adjusting layers, and setting macros. This is faster and reversible without touching a keycap puller.

What you need before starting

You'll need the Multix 104 VIA V2 keyboard connected via USB Type-C, the VIA software installed (download from the official Vortex site), and a stable computer. The software works on Windows and macOS. No extra drivers are required for basic remapping.

How to remap keys on Multix 104 VIA V2

  1. Step 1: Open VIA software and select your keyboard: Launch the VIA application. It should automatically detect your Multix 104 VIA V2. If not, check the USB Type-C connection or restart the software. Common mistake: opening the software before plugging in the keyboard — reconnect and relaunch.
  2. Step 2: Choose a key to remap: Click on any key in the on-screen layout. A pop-up will show its current function. To change it, select a new action from the dropdown list (e.g., remap Caps Lock to Control). Common mistake: forgetting that some keys (like Fn) are layer-specific — check which layer you're editing. Always verify the active layer (default, layer 1, layer 2) before remapping to avoid unexpected behavior.
  3. Step 3: Save and test your layout: After making changes, click 'Save to Keyboard'. The new mapping is stored on the board, so it works even when the software is closed. Test each remapped key in a text editor. Common mistake: not saving before unplugging — changes are lost if not saved.
