SETTING UP THE KEYBOARD

1. STEP 1
   Connect the USB-C Cable to the port on the rear of the keyboard, and the other end to any available USB 2.0 (or faster) port on your PC.

2. STEP 2
   Attach the wrist rest to the front of the keyboard. The wrist rest is magnetic—it will connect and center itself automatically.

3. STEP 3
   Deploy the angled rear feet on the bottom of the keyboard if you want a greater amount of typing angle. There are two nested feet for medium or high degrees of typing angle.

   The polling rate is set to 1000Hz by default, but you can adjust it with the NZXT Cam software to better suit your needs. With options ranging from 125Hz to 8000Hz, you can customize your keyboard for optimal performance whether you’re a gamer or a professional.

CHANGING KEYCAPS AND KEY SWITCHES

1. STEP 1
   REMOVING/REINSTALLATION OF KEYCAPS
   Using the included keycap puller tool, affix the tool over the top of the keycap and gently pull to remove. If the keyswitch comes out along with the keycap, follow the below guide for reinstallation.

2. STEP 2
   REMOVING/REINSTALLATION OF KEYSWITCHES
   Using the included keyswitch removal tool, grip the keyswitch from the top, orienting the ends of the tool along the back and front of the keyswitch. There are two tabs that retain the keyswitch into the plate, and when depressed, allow removal. Note that the tool should not scrape the top plate, and it is unnecessary to grip underneath the switch. Grip the sides of the plastic housing only, near the bottom.

In order to reinstall key switches into the keyboard first make sure that all of the pins are straight and not kinked or folded against the bottom housing of the switch. Visually check that the two metal prongs on the keyswitch correspond with the two sockets on the keyswitch socket on the keyboard. Insert the switch into the keyboard socket firmly using direct overhead pressure. The sides of the switch housing should be against the top plate of the keyboard when inserted correctly.

USING THE NZXT FUNCTION 2 KEYBOARD WITH CAM SOFTWARE

• DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING CAM SOFTWARE
  Go to nzxt.com/software/cam for the latest version of CAM

  The Function Keyboard has four onboard profiles that can be setup and stored via CAM software. After profile information is stored, it is not necessary to run CAM to operate stored lighting, macros, etc.

  Depressing the FN (short for “Function”) key + one of the F1, F2, F3, or F4 keys will change to the profile stored at that number value (1 through 4, respectively).

  There are four default lighting modes stored on profiles #1 through #4 and can be accessed by depressing the FN key + F1, F2, F3, or F4.

• CUSTOMIZING RGB LIGHTING
  By using CAM/Keyboard/Lighting, users are able to customize lighting per key, and set up lighting under profiles (if desired), as described in SECTION B.

  By using CAM/Keyboard/Macros, users are able to create both simple and complex macros, and store them under profiles (if desired), as described in SECTION B.

• REBINDING KEYS
  By using CAM/Keyboard/Key Remapping, users are able to create new and customized key bindings, and store them under profiles (if desired), as described in SECTION B

USING THE KEYBOARD IN HARDWARE MODE

  There are four default lighting modes stored on profiles #1 through #4 and can be accessed by depressing the FN key + F1, F2, F3, or F4. If customized lighting has been set up, and assigned custom lighting to one of the onboard profiles, custom lighting will activate when switching to a custom profile.
