Karabiner-Elements is a powerful utility for keyboard customization on macOS Sierra or later.
Karabiner stopped working because of the keyboard driver architecture changes at macOS Sierra. Thus, Karabiner-Elements was made from scratch for new macOS.
Karabiner-Elements is ready to use today. It provides a useful subset of Karabiner's features that you can begin using immediately.
