• FN + PgDn: Main backlight effect switch (cycles through different lighting modes).
• FN + X: Keyboard light switch / power saving mode switch (turns lights on/off or activates power-saving mode).
• FN + [: Main backlight speed - (decreases lighting effect speed).
• FN + ]: Main backlight speed + (increases lighting effect speed).
• FN + ↑: Main backlight brightness + (increases backlight brightness).
• FN + ↓: Main backlight brightness - (decreases backlight brightness).
• FN + ←: Switch the backlight direction.
• FN + →: Switch the backlight color (cycles through colorful, red, green, blue, yellow, purple, cyan, white).

6. Customization (Software/Web Driver)

The ATTACK SHARK X65PRO HE offers extensive customization through its self-developed web driver. This allows you to fine-tune various aspects of your keyboard's performance and aesthetics.

6.1 Accessing the Web Driver

To access the web driver, connect your keyboard to a computer via the USB Type-C cable. Open a web browser and navigate to the official ATTACK SHARK website or the specific web driver URL provided in the product documentation (if available). The web driver interface will allow you to:

• Key Settings: Remap keys, assign macros, and configure advanced functions.
• Stroke Setting (Actuation Points): Customize the actuation point for each individual key with 0.01mm accuracy, within a global range of 0.1mm to 3.4mm. This allows for rapid trigger response or more deliberate presses.
• DKS (Dynamic Key Stroke) / 4-in-1 Action Keys: Assign up to four different functions to a single key based on the press depth, revolutionizing complex combos into effortless commands.
• Macro Settings: Create and manage complex macros for gaming or productivity.
• Light Settings: Further customize RGB lighting effects beyond the onboard controls, including colors, patterns, and synchronization.
• Other Settings: Adjust polling rate, scan rate, and other performance parameters.

7. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ATTACK SHARK X65PRO HE keyboard, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe down the keyboard surface. For deeper cleaning, you can use a keycap puller to remove keycaps and clean dust and debris with compressed air or a small brush.
• Keycaps: The PBT dye-sublimation keycaps are durable and resistant to wear and fading. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the keycaps or legends.
• Switches: The magnetic switches are hot-swappable. If a switch needs replacement, use the provided switch puller to carefully remove and insert new compatible switches.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the keyboard in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your keyboard, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Keyboard not responding (Wired):
  • Ensure the USB Type-C cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and the computer.
  • Try a different USB port on your computer.
  • Test with a different USB Type-C cable if available.
• Keyboard not responding (2.4GHz Wireless):
  • Ensure the 2.4GHz receiver is properly plugged into a USB port.
  • Verify the keyboard's mode switch is set to "2.4G".
  • Check the keyboard battery level.
  • Try re-pairing the keyboard with the receiver (refer to specific instructions if provided with the receiver).
• Keyboard not responding (Bluetooth):
  • Ensure the keyboard's mode switch is set to "BT".
  • Verify Bluetooth is enabled on your device.
  • Remove the keyboard from your device's Bluetooth list and attempt to re-pair.
  • Check the keyboard battery level.
• RGB Lighting not working or incorrect:
  • Use the FN key combinations (Section 5.3) to cycle through effects and adjust brightness.
  • Ensure the keyboard is not in power-saving mode (FN+X).
  • Check the web driver settings for any custom lighting profiles that might be overriding default settings.
• Keys not registering or double-typing:
  • Ensure the switches are properly seated. If hot-swappable, try reseating the affected switch.
  • Clean around the switch with compressed air to remove any debris.
  • If using wireless modes, check for interference or low battery.
  • Reset actuation points via the web driver if they were recently adjusted.

9. User Tips

• Experiment with Actuation Points: For competitive gaming, try setting a very low actuation point (e.g., 0.1mm) for keys used for rapid actions. For typing, a slightly higher actuation point might reduce accidental presses.
• Utilize DKS/4-in-1 Action Keys: Map complex in-game combos or frequently used software shortcuts to a single key with different actuation depths for increased efficiency.
• Customize RGB: Personalize your keyboard's lighting to match your setup or mood using the web driver for advanced effects and color schemes.
• Keep Web Driver Updated: Regularly check the official ATTACK SHARK website for updates to the web driver software to ensure you have the latest features and performance optimizations.
