CONFIGURING THE n52te
1. Begin from the “Profiles” pane.
2. For the n52te button you wish to program, locate and select
it from the buttons list.
3. Under “Assignment:”, select “Single Key” from the drop-
down menu. Then, press a key on your keyboard and it will
be recorded by the Editor software.
4. If you are happy with the current assignment, you can continue to
program other buttons in the same manner or close out of the n52te

Table of Contents SECTIONS 1 2 34 5 6 7
CONFIGURING THE n52te
Keymaps
The n52te Editor allows you to program three Keymaps: Blue, Red,
and Green. A Keymap allows you to add another layer of programming
to each button. In order to switch between Keymaps during play, you
must either dedicate a button for switching to the desired Keymap, or
dedicate one to cycle through all three Keymaps. Because the second
option of cycling through Keymaps requires only one button, two extra
buttonsarefreeforfurthercustomization.
Note: Buttons that are selected for one of these Keymap switching
options will be dedicated to this function across all three Keymaps in the
current profile.
• ToprogramKeymapswitchingoptions,locatethedesiredn52te
button from the “Profiles” pane, and then from the “Assignment”
drop-down menu, select “Keymap”. The default switching
behavior is “Cycle Keymaps”. To choose a different one, select
from the options available under the drop-down menu.
• Ifyouselect“Momentary”,then52tewillonlyloadthedesired
Keymap while you hold that button down. If you select
“Toggle”, the button acts like a switch and n52te will remain
in the desired Keymap until another Keymap is selected.
• YoucanviewandeditdifferentKeymapsbyselecting“Blue”,
“Red”, or “Green” under the “Keymap” drop-down menu.

Available Macros – This displays a list of existing macros currently
stored on your Mac computer.
New – This button is used to create a new macro.
Delete – This button is used to delete any existing macro.
Import – This button allows you to import a macro from a backup or
from a different Mac computer.
Export – This button allows you to back up your macros or use on a
different Mac computer.
Note: You cannot record mouse-click commands and advanced
functions during the macro-recording phase, but you can add them
manually by using “Add Button”.
Repeat Mode – This setting determines how the macro will be played
back when triggered:
• RunOnce(DefaultSetting)– Using this setting executes the
macro only once each time the assigned n52te button is pressed.
• Repeatwhilepressed– Using this setting will force the macro to
repeat continuously while the assigned n52te button is held down.
• RepeatUntilNextKey– Using this setting forces
the assigned button to act like a toggle switch. If you
push it once and let go, the macro will continuously
repeat until the same button is pressed again.
Delay – This sets the delay between every event item in a macro
sequence to the same value.
Multi-Key Assignments: Macros
Macros are recorded sequences of keyboard keystrokes, and/or mouse-
button presses that can be saved and played back by the n52te at a
later time.
The “Macros” pane allows you create, edit, and manage macros. Saved
macros can then be assigned to any button in any of the three Keymaps,
and are available for use in any profile.

Creating and Assigning Macros
This section will walk you through the steps needed to create and assign
macros using the n52te Editor software.
1. Click the “New” button to create a new macro and give it a name.
2. Using the mouse cursor, click on the “Macro Definition” table to
begin recording keystrokes.
3. To manually insert keystrokes or mouse buttons, you can do so with
the “Add Key” and “Add Button” functions.
4. If you want a key to be held down for a short period of time, simply
set a delay for any “Press Key” commands. In this example, the “T”
key will be pressed and held down for 500ms.
5. If you want the macro to wait before executing a key, simply set a
delay for any “Release” action event. In this example, the macro will
press and release the “E” key, and then wait three seconds before
pressing the “S” key.
6. To manually remove items from the macro sequence, you can do so
with the “Remove” button.
7. To change playback behavior, click on the “Repeat Mode” drop-
down menu and select the desired behavior. Note: The default
repeat behavior is “Repeat Once”.

ERGONOMIC ADJUSTMENTS
Palm Rest
Then52teisdesignedtoadapttohandsofdifferentsizes.Thereare
threedifferenthand-sizeadjustmentsthatcanbemadetothepalmrest
in order to help you easily reach all of the n52te’s buttons and keys.
1. For average-sized hands, no adjustment is necessary. The n52te’s
palmrestcomesconfiguredfortheaverage-sizedhand.
2. For larger hands, you can easily increase the distance between the
palm rest and the main keys. Simply pull the palm rest straight up
away from the n52te’s main chassis until it pops free. On the chassis
you will see two sets of holes. Reinsert the palm rest into the holes
farthest from the main keys and snap it down firmly.
3. For smaller hands, you can simply remove the palm rest completely
for easier access to the n52te’s array of buttons and keys.
D-Pad Thumb-Stick
The n52te comes equipped with a removable thumb-stick for enhanced
movement control when using the 8-way D-pad. Simply pull the thumb-
stick up away from the D-pad to remove it if preferred.

FIRMWARE UPDATES
Update Instructions
Caution: Please read and follow these steps carefully to avoid losing
your custom configurations and risk permanent damage to your n52te!
1. Before you begin please note: The firmware updater will NOT work
without the n52te drivers installed. If you have not installed the
n52te drivers, please do so BEFORE updating the n52te firmware.
Please refer to the “Getting Started” section for driver-installation
instructions.
2. I m p o r t a n t : Your n52te will be reset to its factory default settings. Any
custom configuration currently loaded in the onboard memory will be
erased during the firmware-update process. Make sure your custom
configurations are backed up as profiles before updating the firmware.
3. Connect your n52te.
4. Run the n52te firmware updater “.dmg” file and click the “Start n52te
Firmware Update” button to begin the update process. (Important: To
avoid permanent damage to your n52te, make sure NOT to disconnect
or interrupt power during the update process.)
5. When the update process has finished, disconnect, and then reconnect
your n52te only when prompted to do so by the firmware updater.
6. If the update process fails, disconnect the n52te and reboot your
system. Then try updating again from a different USB port, preferably
one that is physically located on the machine.
To ensure you have the absolute best and most complete user
experience, we suggest that you keep your n52te firmware up to date as
often as possible. To check for the latest driver and firmware updates,
please go to www.n52te.com.
