Operating Instructions

The Cryfokt Macro Keyboard is designed for intuitive operation, offering both standard input and advanced programmable functions.

Basic Use

• Key Input: Press any of the 16 keys to activate its assigned function. By default, keys may have standard numeric or function assignments.
• Knob Operation: The three knobs can be rotated clockwise or counter-clockwise and pressed. Their functions are programmable (e.g., volume control, zoom, scroll).
• LED Backlighting: The integrated LED lights provide visual feedback and can be customized for various effects and colors through the software.

Layer Keys

The keyboard supports three layers of key assignments. This allows you to switch between different sets of programmed functions, effectively tripling the number of available macros. The LED light status will indicate which layer is currently active. Refer to the customization software for details on how to switch between and program these layers.

Customization

The Cryfokt Macro Keyboard offers extensive customization options for its 16 keys and 3 knobs.

1. Software Download: Download the official customization software from the Cryfokt website. Ensure you download the version compatible with your operating system (Windows/OS X).
2. Key Assignment: Use the software interface to assign single keys, key combinations, or complex macros to any of the 16 keys.
3. Knob Functions: Program the three knobs for various actions such as volume up/down, mute, scrolling, zooming, or other custom commands. Each knob's rotation and press action can be configured independently.
4. Layer Management: Configure different sets of key and knob assignments for each of the three available layers. This allows for quick switching between profiles for different applications or games.
5. LED Customization: Adjust LED lighting effects, colors, and brightness to match your preference or indicate active layers/profiles.

Save your configurations within the software. The keyboard's internal memory will store your settings, allowing you to use your custom layout on different computers without re-programming, once the software has uploaded the profile to the device.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your Cryfokt Macro Keyboard.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface of the keyboard. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid spraying liquids directly onto the keyboard.
• Keycap Removal: The keyboard features hot-swappable switches. If you need to clean under the keycaps or replace switches, use a keycap puller and switch puller (not included) to carefully remove them.
• Avoid Liquids: Keep the keyboard away from liquids to prevent damage to internal components.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the keyboard in a clean, dry environment.
