PIIFOXDRIVER ER95 keyboard software

Remap keys, set the RGB, record macros and change device settings on the PIIFOXDRIVER ER95. Free and open source. Use it in a Chromium browser with nothing to install, or download the desktop app for Windows, macOS or Linux. Either way it runs entirely on your own machine: no account, and the browser version makes no network requests once the page has loaded.

What sharkfin does with the ER95

  • Remap any key. Click a key on a picture of the board and give it another key, a mouse button, cursor movement, the scroll wheel, a macro or a media control. Base and Fn layers both. 3 onboard profiles.
  • Lighting. 18 backlight effects with direction options, full RGB colour, brightness and speed. The effect runs on a picture of the board as you change it; a slider writes to the board when you let go of it.
  • Per-key colour. Paint individual keys and send the pattern to the board's flash.
  • Macros. Record key and mouse sequences with per-event delays into the 50 onboard slots, then bind a key to one.
  • Debounce. Adjustable, 1 to 10.
  • Sleep timers for 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth, plus deep sleep.
  • The knob. Turn left, turn right and press are all remappable. From the factory: volume down, mute, volume up.
  • Device settings. Windows-key lock, WASD and arrow-cluster swap, backlight off, host-OS auto-detect and a factory reset, all from the Device page.
  • Backup. Export everything to a file and restore it later.
  • Screen. This board has one. sharkfin draws on it: pick a picture in the app and the board keeps it in its own flash.

sharkfin draws the ER95 key by key, so you remap on a picture of your own board.

gen2 and yc500 are the two command sets these keyboards speak. The same command can mean different things in each, so sharkfin never guesses: the board names itself when it is plugged in, and the command set follows from that.

Connecting

Plug the ER95 in with a USB cable. Over a 2.4 GHz receiver sharkfin reads whatever the receiver relays: some carry the settings channel, some carry nothing, and the same model ships with both, so plug the receiver in and the app says which yours is. Writes need the cable. Bluetooth has no settings channel. Settings are stored on the keyboard itself, so everything you change keeps working wirelessly once you unplug. sharkfin never flashes firmware. On Linux, the AppImage and the browser build need a one-line udev rule before they can open the keyboard; the .deb and .rpm install it. And if you are hunting for a polling-rate or report-rate setting: there is none in sharkfin, because this hardware does not expose one.

If the ER95 stops responding

It happens: the firmware stops answering and the app says the board needs a replug. Typing keeps working the whole time. In order:

  1. Close sharkfin, or the browser tab. While either is open it keeps trying to reach the board.
  2. Unplug the cable, wait ten seconds, plug it back in. The board needs to lose power, not just reconnect.
  3. Fn + Home turns the lighting back on if the backlight looks dead.
  4. Fn + Esc, held for about three seconds, resets the board's settings.
  5. Still wrong? Open sharkfin and use Device, then Factory reset.

None of this touches firmware; nothing here can leave the ER95 unusable.
