Problem on connecting my device on MacOS ZMK Studio Desktop app
Describe the bug Hi, I just flashed new firmware with Studio support to my custom handwired keyboard. ZMK Studio Desktop app runs on Windows 11 computer with Bluetooth and USB. But on MacOS it does not connect to keyboard with both Bluetooth and USB. Interestingly, I can connect to my keyboard using ZMK Studio website (https://zmk.studio/) with USB perfectly fine. But on desktop app it just stucks on the Select A Device menu. I can click to options but it does not do anything. It does not show any error either.
To Reproduce Since it is on my custom hardware, I dont think I can provide any steps to reproduce
Expected behavior I would expect the desktop app to connect my keyboard just like Windows version of the app, OR it should show me what is the error. So I can search for solutions
Screenshots
Environment
- OS: MacOS
- Browser: Microsoft Edge
- App: ZMK Studio Desktop app from github release page
- Version: 0.3.1 (2025-01-20)
- Device: Custom handwired keyboard (repository: https://github.com/saidyeter/zmk-config-kordiseps48) with Nice Nano clone NRF52840
Hopefully makes sense. I appriciate your efforts to read my question. Thanks Said
I have same problem with you on macOS standalone app. It only works with browser.
Reproduced: When both BLE and USB are connected, but the keyboard connection mode is set to BLE, opening the app and selecting USB has no effect. After switching the keyboard connection mode to USB and reopening the app, selecting USB works normally. A temporary workaround is to make sure the keyboard connection mode matches the connection type selected in the app.
