I continue to eliminate ancient bugs from USB. So great news for **Apple and v2/v3/OTG users**: you no longer need to use the Arduino HID to get into the Boot Menu or Recovery Mode.

It took a long and thoughtful study, but now this problem has been resolved. In addition, **compatibility with some strange HP and DELL motherboards** has improved, so if you didn't have a keyboard there before, now it has all the chances to work!

To update:
```console
rw
pacman -Syu
reboot
```
