4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Rapid Trigger and Adjustable Actuation

The X82PRO HE's Hall Effect magnetic switches enable advanced features like Rapid Trigger and adjustable actuation points. These features are primarily configured via the web-based software.

• Rapid Trigger (RT): This function allows keys to activate and deactivate based on the physical movement of the key, rather than fixed actuation and reset points. This can lead to faster, more responsive input in games.
• Adjustable Actuation Point: You can customize the distance a key needs to travel before it registers an input, typically ranging from 0.1mm to 3.4mm. This allows for fine-tuning sensitivity to your preference.

4.2 RGB Lighting Control

The keyboard features full RGB backlighting with over 20 preset effects and 16.8 million colors. Lighting can be controlled directly via hotkeys or through the web-based software.

• FN + \|: Switch light mode.
• FN + A: Switch light bar color.
• FN + Enter: Switch main key lighting color.
• FN + Caps: Switch light bar mode.
• FN + ↑ / ↓: Adjust backlight brightness.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your X82PRO HE keyboard, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the keycaps and chassis with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, you can use a keycap puller (often included) to remove keycaps and clean underneath with compressed air or a brush.
• Switch Care: The Hall Effect magnetic switches are hot-swappable. If replacing switches, ensure the keyboard is powered off and use a switch puller to avoid damage. Only use N-pole downward magnetic switches for compatibility.
• Battery Care: Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge the keyboard when the battery level is low to maintain battery health.
• Storage: Store the keyboard in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your X82PRO HE keyboard, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Connectivity Issues (Wired/Wireless/Bluetooth):
  • Ensure the correct mode (wired, 2.4G, BT) is selected on the keyboard's switch.
  • For wired mode, try a different USB-C cable and USB port on your computer. Some coiled cables may not support the high power requirements for 8K polling rate.
  • For 2.4GHz wireless, ensure the USB receiver is securely plugged in and there are no obstructions or strong interference sources nearby.
  • For Bluetooth, ensure the keyboard is in pairing mode and visible to your device. Remove previous pairings and re-pair if necessary.
• RGB Lighting Malfunctions:
  • If specific LEDs (e.g., spacebar) are not displaying colors correctly or only show red, this may indicate a hardware issue.
  • Ensure the brightness is not set to zero using the FN hotkeys.
  • Check the web driver software for any conflicting settings or profiles.
  • Note that the light bar may have separate controls (FN + A, FN + Caps) and might not be fully configurable via software.
• Software/Driver Issues:
  • Ensure you are using the correct and latest version of the web driver software from qmk.top or the official ATTACK SHARK support page.
  • If translations are unclear, refer to community resources or contact support for clarification on specific features.
  • If the web utility requires a driver installation, ensure it is successfully installed.
• Uneven Keyboard Feet:
  • If the keyboard wobbles, check the rubber feet for any inconsistencies. This may be a manufacturing variation.
• Keyboard Disconnecting in Wired Mode:
  • This could indicate a faulty USB cable or port. Try a different cable and port.
  • Ensure your computer's power settings are not configured to turn off USB devices to save power.

If these steps do not resolve your issue, please contact ATTACK SHARK customer support for further assistance.
