The Odin R4 is fully compatible with the VIA configuration tool. Once connected via USB-C, you can use the VIA software to remap keys, create macros, and adjust the badge lighting directly from your computer.
It supports most standard MX-style mechanical switches. Because it is a hot-swap board, ensure your switches have the standard pin configuration to fit into the sockets.
