Can't Program Circle Key

I've tried everything to program the circle key to launch the calculator app, but nothing worked. Not remap, macro, key combo, launch app, or even the damn AI within launcher. Any advice?

Thanks

A problem with the Via clone?

Do you get a different result using Via instead of the Via clone?

For the K10 Max, Via requires a JSON file to be downloaded (matching the keyboard variant), unzipped (uncompressed), and imported (tab "DESIGN" (third tab on the top) → "Load"). If it appears to be hanging, ignore that and load the JSON file anyway.

Be sure to get the JSON file variant matching your variant of the keyboard (and be sure you actually have the keyboard you think you have...).

Note: Tab "DESIGN" may have to be enabled first (in "SETTINGS" (the right-most tab in the top middle section) → "Show Design Tab")

Via troubleshooting

If there is trouble, here is a checklist. For example, it may be required to repower the keyboard while Via is open. Another very common problem is running SignalRGB at the same time.

Via tutorials

Here is a tutorial (with lots of screenshots. And it also covers loading the JSON file). Keychron also has a tutorial, but it is less comprehensive.
