+1. Save the `.hex` file to your computer; note this is all you need to generate
+ a custom layout with most of the available features (including mouse control)
+ * Check-out [the last third of this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYmAb8zOPWU&t=561s)
+ to get an idea of how to build your own layout; it includes how to load to the firmware using FLIP<P>
+
+
+1. Download and install the `dfu-programmer` (the alternative to FLIP), open-source available
+ for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS. e.g., for Mac OS: `brew install dfu-programmer` <P>
+ _Note: This bootloader is all that is required to load/flash the firmware created
+ using the online tool. You do not need the full `avr-gcc` development stack
+ because you created the required `.hex` file using the online tool instead._
