Sorry but pretty much all you wrote makes no sense.

  • QMK is an actual base firmware needed to use VIA which is only an GUI interface for QMK. There is no way to use VIA w/o QMK.
  • Keychron got both and again - you can find out this on their website. The only minor inconvenience is that you need to load json file to VIA.
  • KBDFans boards are powered by QMK out of the box (same for all other custom kit vendors). There is no problem downloading firmware for their PCB's. Nothing remotely illegal there.

Seem you got it all wrong.

This is irrelevant for few reasons:

  1. It's not about Keychron we are talking about in this topic,
  2. The post you are referring to specifically talks about source files. You do not need them to utilise VIA.

Also, I can see now that from the beginning you are questioning Keychron as a choice but I never recommended it. I only tried to answer OP questions regarding Keychron only comparing the options in the process.

Not sure if you need to relax but I'm good.

You surely need to pay more attention when reading because I haven't mentioned VIA at all before you were "asking for clarification".
