For full customization and advanced features, download and install the official web driver from www.qmk.top. This driver allows you to configure macros, RGB lighting, and performance settings.
Operating Instructions
1. Rapid Trigger (RT) and Adjustable Actuation Point
The X65PRO HE features fully adjustable Hall magnetic switches. You can customize each key's actuation point from 0.1mm to 3.4mm in 0.01mm steps using the web driver. This allows for ultra-fast keypresses for gaming or precise typing for work.
2. Snap Tap & Dynamic Keystrokes (DKS)
- Snap Tap: This feature prioritizes the latest input between two keys, allowing for faster and more responsive directional changes, particularly useful in FPS games.
- Dynamic Keystrokes (DKS): Enables true analog input, allowing you to assign up to 4 different actions to a single keypress based on the depth of the press. This facilitates complex combos and macros with effortless execution.
3. CNC Multi-function Knob
The anodized aluminum CNC metal knob provides quick and precise control. Press the knob to toggle sound on/off, and rotate it to adjust the volume. It can also be configured for light settings via the web driver.
4. RGB Backlighting
The keyboard features south-facing 16M RGB backlighting with over 20 lighting modes and 9 colors. Use the web driver to customize lighting effects and colors to your preference.
Basic Lighting Controls (FN Key Combinations):
- FN + PgDn: Main backlight effect switch
- FN + X: Keyboard light switch / power saving mode switch
- FN + [: Main backlight speed -
- FN + ]: Main backlight speed +
- FN + ↑: Main backlight brightness +
- FN + ↓: Main backlight brightness -
- FN + ←: Switch the backlight direction
- FN + →: Switch the backlight color (Order: colorful, red, green, blue, yellow, purple, cyan, white)
5. PBT Keycaps
The keyboard is equipped with Five-Sided Dye Sublimation PBT Keycaps, featuring a unique electromagnetic wave pattern. This ensures durability and prevents legends from fading over time.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning
- General Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution to wipe down the keycaps and keyboard surface.
- Dust Removal: Use compressed air to remove dust and debris from between the keycaps and switches.
- Deep Cleaning: For thorough cleaning, use the provided keycap puller to carefully remove keycaps. Clean the switches and plate with compressed air or a soft brush. Reattach keycaps firmly.
2. Storage
When not in use, store the keyboard in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If transporting, use the original packaging or a protective case to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
- Keyboard not responding: Ensure the keyboard is charged. Check the connection mode switch (USB-C, 2.4G, BT) matches your connection type. For wireless modes, ensure the receiver is properly plugged in or Bluetooth is paired. Try a different USB port or cable.
- Keys not registering: Clean around the affected keys to remove any debris. If using magnetic switches, ensure they are properly seated.
- RGB lighting issues: Check FN key combinations for lighting control. Ensure the web driver is installed and updated for full customization.
- Wireless connectivity issues: Ensure the keyboard is within range of the receiver/device. Avoid interference from other wireless devices. Re-pair Bluetooth or re-plug the 2.4G receiver.
- Web driver not detecting keyboard: Ensure the keyboard is connected via USB-C and the driver is up to date. Restart your computer and try again.
User Tips
- Experiment with Actuation: Take time to fine-tune the actuation points for different games or typing tasks using the web driver. A shorter actuation is ideal for fast-paced games, while a longer one can prevent accidental key presses during typing.
- Utilize DKS: For games requiring complex sequences, program Dynamic Keystrokes to execute multiple actions with a single key press, significantly improving efficiency.
- Keep Driver Updated: Regularly check the official website (www.qmk.top) for the latest web driver updates to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.
- Battery Management: For wireless use, monitor the battery level and charge the keyboard when needed to avoid interruptions during use.
