Macro Keys

Record Macros
To record macros, first press and hold down the function key and then press the tab key. Once you have done this, the macro keys F9–F10 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.

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.
