## Installation

Place your keyboard into the bootloader mode, either by hitting the `RESET` keycode (which may be on a different layer), or by pressing the reset switch usually located on the underside of the board. If your keyboard has neither, try holding Escape, or Space+`B`, as you plug it in (see the [Bootmagic](feature_bootmagic.md) docs for more details).
Some keyboards may have specific instructions for entering the bootloader, for example the [Bootmagic Lite](feature_bootmagic.md#bootmagic-lite) key (Escape) might be on a different key, such as Left Control. Refer to the board's README if you are unsure.
Put your keyboard into bootloader mode, either by hitting the `RESET` keycode (which may be on a different layer), or by pressing the reset switch that's usually located on the underside of the board. If your keyboard has neither, try holding Escape or Space+`B` as you plug it in (see the [Bootmagic](feature_bootmagic.md) docs for more details). Some boards use [Command](feature_command.md) instead of Bootmagic; in this case, you can enter bootloader mode by hitting Left Shift+Right Shift+`B` or Left Shift+Right Shift+Escape at any point while the keyboard is plugged in.
Some keyboards may have specific instructions for entering the bootloader. For example, the [Bootmagic Lite](feature_bootmagic.md#bootmagic-lite) key (default: Escape) might be on a different key, e.g. Left Control; or the magic combination for Command (default: Left Shift+Right Shift) might require you to hold something else, e.g. Left Control+Right Control. Refer to the board's README file if you are unsure.

Zadig will automatically detect the bootloader device. You may sometimes need to check **Options -> List All Devices**.
Zadig will automatically detect the bootloader device. You may sometimes need to check **Options → List All Devices**.
- For keyboards with Atmel AVR MCUs, the bootloader will be named something similar to `ATm32U4DFU`, and have a Vendor ID of `03EB`.
- USBasp bootloaders will appear as `USBasp`, with a VID/PID of `16C0:05DC`.
- AVR keyboards flashed with the QMK-DFU bootloader will be named `<keyboard name> Bootloader` and will also have the VID `03EB`.

Click **Action -> Scan for hardware changes**. At this point, you should be able to type again. Double check in Zadig that the keyboard device(s) are using the `HidUsb` driver. If so, you're all done, and your board should be functional again!
