Adjust Global Macro Speed; Nkro Mode; Game Mode; Soft Reset - Kinesis Gaming KB975 User Manual

Keep the v-Drive closed when not in use: For best results, keep the v-Drive closed when not using the
SmartSet App and refrain from using onboard shortcuts while the v-Drive is open. Note: The keyboard's
multimedia and mouse actions are disabled while the v-Drive is open.
Always Eject v-Drive before closing: Before closing the v-Drive, it is important to always Eject the "FS
EDGE RGB" drive by right-clicking it in Windows File Explorer, and selecting "Eject". Once the computer has
ejected the drive, it will notify that it is now safe to close the v-Drive. Ejecting the drive ensures that all
keyboard configuration files have been closed which will prevent data loss and/or corruption. Use the onboard
shortcut (SmartSet + F8) to close the v-Drive.
4.6 Adjust Global Macro Speed (SmartSet + F9, then number row)
The Freestyle Edge can playback macros at one of nine different speeds, ranging from a super-slow 4 actions
-per-second (APS) up to a blazing fast 250 APS! The default Global speed is Speed 5, which is good for text
macros but might be too slow for certain in-game macros. To adjust the Global speed, use the onboard
shortcut to enter Macro Speed Mode and then use the number row to select a speed from 1-9. If you wish to
temporarily disable macro playback without deleting any macros, chose "0" instead. Note: You can override
the Global speed setting and assign a custom, individual playback speed for any given macro using the
SmartSet App (see Section XX) or Direct Programming (see Section XX).

*Playback speeds are approximate. Exact speeds will depend on the length of the macro, your computer, and the active application.
4.7 Enable/Disable NKRO Mode (SmartSet + F10)
NKRO ("n-key rollover") mode is a special operating mode that allows the keyboard to register all
simultaneous key-presses. Most standard keyboards, and even many gaming keyboards, limit the number of
keys you can press at one time to six (aka "6KRO"). If you press more than 6 keys at a time on a 6KRO
keyboard, the keyboard may fail to register some of those key-presses. 6KRO is fine for basic typing and will
work for most gamers a majority of the time, but hardcore gamers who are playing at lightning-fast speeds
prefer NKRO keyboards for maximum performance. Use the onboard shortcut to toggle NKRO Mode on and
off (the Edge will take a second to re-enumerate). NKRO mode will remain in effect until keyboard is
unplugged or the v-Drive is opened. Confirm NKRO mode with the Status Report.
4.8 Enable/Disable Game Mode (SmartSet + F11)
Game Mode disables all Windows key actions to keep you from accidentally exiting out of your game. Use the
onboard shortcut to toggle Game Mode on and off. The Game Mode indicator LED ("G") in the upper right
corner of the keyboard will illuminate when Game Mode is enabled.
4.9 Soft Reset (SmartSet + Shift + F12)
Erases all custom remaps and macros in both layers of the active layout.
