Operation

Windows Key Lockout
The Windows key lockout prevents the Windows menu from popping up and interfering with your game if accidentally pressed while gaming.
Press Fn + key to lock out the Windows menu function. The Windows Lock LED will light up to confirm the Windows key is locked out Press Fn + again to unlock the Windows key.

Anti-Ghosting / NKRO
As gaming has exploded in popularity, the term Anti-Ghosting has evolved from its original meaning to now describe a non-mechanical keyboard’s ability to accurately detect individual keystrokes when certain combinations of buttons are pressed. Mechanical keyboards do not suffer this problem, and may instead have a limit to the total number of buttons that can be pressed simultaneously.
This limit is expressed as N-Key Rollover (NKRO) where N equals the number of keys that can be pressed simultaneously. HVER PRO has no limit and features full NKRO, meaning every keystroke will be detected no matter how many keys are simultaneously pressed. Now you can play with confidence knowing your keyboard won’t hold you back!

LED Backlight Functions
