3.2 Initial Software Configuration (Web Driver)
For advanced customization, including RGB lighting, key remapping, and rapid trigger settings, access the MELETRIX web-based driver. Refer to the official MELETRIX website for the specific URL to access the driver. Ensure your keyboard is connected to your computer when using the web driver.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Rapid Trigger Adjustment
The BOOG75 allows for on-the-fly adjustment of rapid trigger sensitivity without needing to open the software. Specific key combinations (e.g., Fn + a designated key) can be used to cycle through actuation point settings. Refer to the web driver or manufacturer's online resources for the exact key combinations.
4.2 Dynamic Keystroke (DKS)
DKS allows a single key to perform different actions based on the depth of the keypress. This can be configured via the web driver to assign multiple functions to one key.
4.3 Mod Tap (MT) and Toggle Key (TGL)
These features provide enhanced flexibility for key assignments. Mod Tap allows a key to act as a modifier when held and a regular key when tapped. Toggle Key enables a key to switch between two different functions with each press. Configuration is performed through the web driver.

4.4 RGB Lighting Customization
The BOOG75 features per-key RGB backlighting. Lighting effects, colors, and brightness can be customized extensively using the web driver. Pre-set lighting modes may also be available via keyboard shortcuts.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning the Keyboard
- Disconnect the keyboard from your computer before cleaning.
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution to wipe down the keycaps and chassis. Avoid excessive moisture.
- For dust and debris between keycaps, use compressed air or a small brush.
- Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the finish and keycap legends.
5.2 Replacing Switches and Keycaps
The BOOG75 is hot-swappable, allowing for easy replacement of switches without soldering. Use a switch puller to carefully remove the existing switch. Align the new compatible magnetic switch with the socket and press firmly until it clicks into place. For keycaps, use a keycap puller to gently remove them and press new keycaps onto the switch stems.
