## Installation
Put your keyboard into bootloader mode, either by hitting the `QK_BOOT` 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 Lite](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) 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.

To put a device in bootloader mode with USBaspLoader, tap the `RESET` button while holding down the `BOOT` button.
Alternatively, hold `BOOT` while inserting the USB cable.
Zadig should automatically detect the bootloader device, but you may sometimes need to check **Options → List All Devices** and select the device from the dropdown instead.

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! Otherwise, repeat this process until Zadig reports the correct driver.
