Operating Instructions

The Ecarke Mini 3-Key Keyboard offers extensive customization options to suit various applications, from gaming to general computer use.

Key Function Customization

Each of the three keys can be independently configured to perform different functions. The settings are saved directly to the keyboard's onboard memory, meaning you only need to configure it once, and the settings will persist even when connecting to different devices.

• Multiple Function Modes: The keyboard supports various modes, including:
  • Keyboard Mode: Assign single keys or complex key combinations (macros).
  • Mouse Mode: Control mouse movements or clicks.
  • Multimedia Control: Adjust volume, play/pause, skip tracks.
  • One-Click Password: Store and input complex passwords with a single press.
  • Game Controller Mode: Emulate game controller inputs.
  • Two-Step Operation: For advanced sequences.

• Programming Software: Use the dedicated software (downloaded during setup) to assign functions to each key. The software allows for repeated adjustments.
• Operating System Compatibility: The keyboard supports Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android, and Raspberry Pi. However, key settings must be configured and saved on a Windows 7 or higher operating system before the keyboard can be used with Linux or MacOS. Settings cannot be directly configured on Linux or MacOS.

RGB LED Control

The keyboard features customizable RGB LED lighting. You can adjust the colors and lighting effects through the programming software to match your setup or preference.
