  1. # The Key V2
  3. ![The Key V2](https://massdrop-s3.imgix.net/product-images/stack-overflow-the-key-v2-macropad/FP/vSqOp9eUQNGXW4zl3EVQ_7528-copy-pdp.jpg)
  5. The Stack Overflow "The Key V2" is a 3 button macropad based on atmega32u4 with hot-swappble Kailh Black Box switches.
  7. > Last year, we brought Stack Overflow’s iconic April Fool’s joke to life. Advertised as the new (and only) way to copy and paste on the site, it was an ultra-compact macropad called The Key. The punchline-turned product was a huge hit, selling over 10K units and earning a nearly 5-star average review. Now, we’re back with a second act: The Key V2. The same size as its portable predecessor, this punchline-turned-product has a few notable changes—including an acrylic case to accent its two built-in RGB LEDs. Plus, we made it hot-swappable, so you can easily change out the switches for a truly custom experience. And just like the original, a portion of all proceeds from The Key V2 will go to the data-driven social startup digitalundivided.

  27. ## Bootloader
  29. Enter the bootloader in 3 ways:
  31. * **Bootmagic reset**: Hold down the "Stack Overflow" key, the "left-most" or furthest from the USB plug while inserting the USB cable for a few seconds. The LEDs will **NOT** turn on.
  32. * **Physical reset button**: Briefly press and hold the reset button while pluggin in the USB port. The LEDs on the back will **NOT** turn on. Depending on your case revision, you may have to remove the 4 screws on the back plate to access the switch OR you can use the associated access hole on newer releases.
  33. * **Keycode in layout**: Press the key mapped to `QK_BOOT` if it is available
