Matrix Labs 8xv3.0 Keyboard Help
Guides and tools for the Matrix Labs 8XV 3.0 Keyboard (not affiliated with Matrix Labs)
The Matrix 3.0 is an amazing keyboard, however when I first got one, I had some trouble figuring out how to update the firmware and map keys. I also had issues with getting animated gifs to work on the eye screen. Much of the documentation I found was unclear or out of date. However, with the help of some great folks in the Matrix Labs Discord channel, I was able to get everything working.
I wanted to make things easier on folks like me and make a simple guide, with links and tools, to update the firmware and map keys, as well as add your own animated gifs to the eye screen.

Caveat: This is what worked for me, on a Mac, with my keyboard. I can't promise it will work for you. If you get stuck, the Matrix Labs Discord is a good place to go for help.
