6. Operating Instructions

The Luqeeg Mini 3-Key Keypad offers versatile control through its three keys and rotary knob.

6.1 Key Functions

By default, the three keys may have pre-assigned functions or act as standard keyboard keys. Their primary utility comes from their programmability, allowing them to perform various actions such as:

• Single key presses (e.g., A, B, C)
• Key combinations (e.g., Ctrl+C for Copy, Ctrl+V for Paste)
• Macro sequences

6.2 Rotary Knob Functions

The rotary knob typically supports two types of actions:

• Rotation: Turning the knob clockwise or counter-clockwise can be assigned to actions like volume control, scrolling, zooming in/out, or navigating through items.
• Press: Pressing down on the knob can be assigned to actions such as mute/unmute, play/pause, or confirming a selection.
