3.3 Macro Key Programming

The keyboard features five driverless programmable macro keys (M1-M5). Refer to the advanced customization software for detailed instructions on recording and assigning macros. The software allows for complex key sequences and functions to be assigned to these dedicated keys.

3.4 N-Key Rollover and Anti-Ghosting

The KG901 supports full N-Key Rollover (NKRO) and anti-ghosting. This means that every keypress is registered independently, even when multiple keys are pressed simultaneously, preventing missed inputs during intense gaming sessions.

3.5 Multimedia Functions

Utilize the Fn key in combination with the F-keys (F1-F12) for multimedia controls:

  • Fn + F1-F12: Specific multimedia functions (e.g., Play/Pause, Volume Up/Down, Mute, Previous/Next Track). Refer to the keycap legends for exact functions.

4. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your keyboard.

4.1 Cleaning

  • Disconnect the keyboard from your computer before cleaning.

  • For dust and debris between keys, use compressed air.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture.

When not in use for extended periods, store the keyboard in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
