Unsolved Unable to connect to VIA - GMK website with keyboard

I wonder if in this case something isn't being loaded/executed on the page due to some kind of "protection" within Vivaldi that's blocking it. Meaning the connection works fine, but something on the page get's blocked for it to load.

I do not know.
Perhaps you you add the page where it fails to Settings → Privacy → Permissions → Website Permissions and HID devices + USB devices set to Allow

Unfortunately I only have 1 device so I cannot test other pages to see if it's the case.

And i have no WebHID device to test connections.

@DoctorG I am assuming in this case that it's the HID (API), since: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/97917/hid-devices-issue/20

Issue still persists with Vivaldi 7.0.3495.20 (Stable channel) (64-bit).

DoctorG

@ThePro123 Known, confirmed and unfixed issue with WebUSB/WebHID.

Still broken in 7.1.3570.50. Can't do live training with my new ZSA keyboard. Please fix!

This is still an issue in 7.2

DoctorG

Perhaps some issues with WebHID/WebUSB could have been solved with 7.2 Snapshot.

You can install Vivaldi Snapshot (what is a Snapshot) as Standalone install version, that will not tangle your Vivaldi Stable Settings in case of issues in Snapshot.

Yep still an issue as of April 4th, 2025. Errors in both VIA and Keychron Launcher.

Issue still not fixed after the lates update.

DoctorG

We know that the issue is not fixed.

The internal bug tracker shows bugs, but no developer is assigned yet to WebUSB/WebHID issues for a fix.

DoctorG

As i remember with tab context menu: Install page as app… create a Progressive Web Application (PWA), start PWA and connect works.

Please test!

@DoctorG Wow just figured it out. Thank you so much. This way you an also pin the pwa to start bar. That is way more convenient.

@DoctorG THANK YOU SO MUCH. I've been forced to use Chrome for the last YEAR to access my Finalmouse XPanel and my Keychron Launcher just to adjust minor settings for my mouse and keyboard.

This is a nice workaround indeed.
I still hope it will be available in the webpage itself instead of a separate app.
