Hi, I have purchased a Keybow Mini with Pi Zero. In order for this to work on the hardware i have i need to change the USB descriptors to report a BOOTMODE keyboard that uses a standard 8-byte report. Does anyone know how i would do this? Thanks. ---

Hi Billy, I’m assuming you don’t want to use the keybow software? If not there’s a guide on setting up a Pi Zero as a USB keyboard here: [https://www.rmedgar.com/blog/using-rpi-zero-as-keyboard-setup-and-device-definition](https://www.rmedgar.com/blog/using-rpi-zero-as-keyboard-setup-and-device-definition) that might help? ---

Hi Matt, i’m happy with the keybow software, i just need to change the USB type so it works with my hardware (the hardware i’m connecting to doesnt have HID drivers) Is it possible to modify the Pi build so it sets up the USB as a boot mode keyboard? I’m a novice on Pi stuff so apologies if i’m asking a stupid question. Thanks.
