Hi, everybody!

We have ready the release candidate for the Raise 2 v1.3.0 firmware, and we’d love for you to test it.

This new firmware fixes a bug where, when using the keyboard wired, it would accidentally go to Bluetooth pairing mode while booting the computer. To get out of BT pairing mode and go back to wired, you had to press the top left key. This could happen in wired-only keyboards, too, as the Neuron has a Bluetooth antenna.

Now, if both sides of the keyboard are connected to the Neuron, it will never automatically switch to Bluetooth.

<aside> ⚠️

VERY IMPORTANT: When using the keyboard wired, make sure the switches underneath each side of the keyboard are turned off. Otherwise, you might experience some inconsistencies when switching to Bluetooth mode.

What’s new from v1.2

• Fixed a bug where, when using the keyboard wired, it would accidentally go to Bluetooth pairing mode while booting the computer.
• Optimized communication between the sides of the keyboard and the neuron, which should address the a rare bug where the right side would stop typing until you turned the left side on and off.
• Improved wake from sleep speed

What’s new from v1.3 beta 6

• Fixed a bug where the Raise 2 was always recognized as ISO by Bazecor

Known bugs/limitations we’re working on

• When you update the firmware, all your Bluetooth connections are reset. To restore them, go to your system settings, click on “forget device,” and then re-pair the keyboard.
• The keyboard might blink very briefly both in use and when resting with the LEDs off. On some rare occasions, the LEDs might come back on.
• There have been some rare instances of the keyboard being stuck on a keypress. Unplugging and replugging the neuron fixes it.
• In wired mode, there’s a small delay on the LEDs when switching layers. One side will be faster than the other side.
• In wired mode, the keys set to black might have a faint red backlight.
• There are still some inconsistencies with the LEDs on the right side when switching Bluetooth devices.
• During Bluetooth pairing, there’s a small chance that the neuron resets, causing your layers to be lost. You can restore them under Preferences > Backups.
