Hi everyone. Long day and completely stuck on this.

I have a Fantech MK921 MAXFIT8 One Piece Edition. I followed the official manual instructions exactly — downloaded the Maxfit8_OP.JSON from Fantech's website and loaded it into VIA. After doing this, all RGB stopped working except the encoder knob LED and Capslock LED.

Current state:

• Keyboard fully functional — all keys work
• Only encoder and Capslock LEDs light up
• RGB Matrix appears stuck on "none"
• Keyboard has been in bootloader mode (Drive E:)
• Fantech Discord support unresponsive for hours
• Their JSON file appears malformed — missing required 'lighting' property

I need either:

1. The correct firmware .bin file for MK921 One Piece Edition to drag onto Drive E:
2. OR a corrected Maxfit8_OP.JSON that actually works

I've tried every reset combo (ESC+plug, Space+B, ESC+Shift, ESC+Backspace), VIA lighting controls, JSON editing. Nothing works without the firmware file.

Fantech's support is Discord-only and they haven't responded. Any help appreciated. 🙏
