6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Key Customization

The three keys on the keyboard are fully programmable. Using the dedicated software (see Section 5. Setup), you can assign various functions to each key:

• Standard Key Functions: Assign any single key press (e.g., A, B, C, Enter, Space).
• Shortcut Combinations: Program common shortcuts (e.g., Ctrl+C for Copy, Ctrl+V for Paste, Alt+Tab for switching applications). The keyboard can store complex and large shortcut key combinations.
• Macros: Create sequences of key presses and delays to automate repetitive tasks.

Once programmed, the settings are saved directly to the keyboard's internal memory. This allows the customized functions to work on any compatible system without needing the software installed on that specific machine.

6.2 Knob Functions

The rotary knob provides intuitive control over several common media and system functions. Its functions can also be customized via the software.

• Rotate Clockwise/Counter-clockwise:
  • Zoom In/Out (e.g., in image editors or web browsers)
  • Volume Up/Down
  • Switch Tracks (Next/Previous song in media players)
• Press Down (Click):
  • Play/Pause Media
  • Mute/Unmute Volume

• Avoid Liquids: Do not spill liquids on the keyboard. If a spill occurs, immediately disconnect the keyboard from your computer and allow it to dry completely before reconnecting.
