Macro Keys
Set up Macros
To set up macros, first press and hold down the function key and then press
the tab key. Once you have done this, the two macro keys ; and ‘ will start
flashing. Press and hold down the function key and press one of these two
macro keys to select it for macro recording. In the next step, first press and
hold down the function key and then press Caps Lock key. The macro key you
selected will now start to light up continuously. You can now start entering
your macro actions. You can enter up to 16 individual actions. When you have
reached the maximum number of actions, the selected macro key starts to flash,
and the recording is automatically ended. However, if you would like to end
the recording before all 16 available macro actions have been entered, first
press and hold down the function key and then press the Caps Lock key to end
the recording.
Lighting Effects
Set up Lighting Profiles
To set up or modify lighting profiles, first press and hold down the function
key and then also press the key. Up to three lighting profiles can be accessed separately via the F7, F8 or F9 key. These keys begin to flash. To choose one of these three profiles, press and hold down the function key again and then also choose and press one of the keys that is now flashing. You can then select and press any keys that you wish to be illuminated. When you have finished with the selection of keys, press and hold down the function key again and then press the key once more to save the personalized
illumination. This can now be accessed via the previously chosen F7 – F9 key.
Additional Functions
Remove Keycaps
Before removing a switch, first remove the keycap. To do this, place the arms of the keycap puller tool either to the left and right or to the top and bottom of the keycap, and then pull the keycap upwards with careful but constant pressure. Whenever possible, avoid pulling the keycaps from the switch directly with your fingers, as this may damage the switch.
Remove Switches
Once you have removed the keycap from the switch, position the switch puller
tool correctly on the tabs of the switch. These are positioned to the front
and the back of the switch. Before pulling out the switch, make sure that both
tabs are securely pressed with the switch puller tool and that the switch can
be removed from the socket without resistance. If necessary, remove the
adjacent keycaps to allow the switch puller tool sufficient freedom of
movement.
After you have removed the keycap, press both tabs of the switch with the
switch puller tool and then slowly pull the switch out of the socket. Be sure
to always pull vertically from the socket with a straight, upward direction.
Avoid pulling in a slanted direction, as this can result in damage.
Install Switches
To install the switches, position the switch so that one tab is at the front and the other tab is at the back. Each pin on the underside of the switch should be pointing exactly to its relevant contact in the keyboard socket. Make sure that the switch is led vertically into the socket opening (at a 90-degree angle to the socket). Installing the switch incorrectly can lead to damage or malfunction of the switch. After you have placed the switch in its socket, push very gently on the switch to secure it in place. Make sure that you do not use too much force, as this can damage or destroy fragile components.
