CONTROLS DIRECTLY FROM THE KEY-BACKGROUND LIGHTING
Macros
Macros are chains of keystrokes that can be replayed at the push of a button.
The LK300 can record macros directly into its internal memory.
These macros are then available via the internal memory on any PC, without
the need to install software there.
The ve keys <G1> - <G5> are available for recording macros.The <Rec>
key can be used to record macros without using the software. For millisecond
precise adjustments, however, we recommend that you use the software.
Procedure for programming directly via the keyboard:
1) Press <REC> + the desired <G> key, for example <G1>, when the three
blue LEDs above the numpad are ashing, you are ready to record.
2) Begin recording by entering the desired key combination (up to 30 charac-
ters).
3) By pressing <REC> + the chosen <G> key a second time, the recording is
nished.The three LEDs will now stop blinking.
To delete all macros, press and hold the <REC> key for 5 seconds.
To delete individual macros, you can simply overwrite them with blank input.
For <G1> this would be done via, <REC> + <G1>, followed directly by the same
input again.This way, the storage will be overwritten blank.
The LK300 keyboard offers 14 different lighting modes that can be program-
med via hardware or software. At rst the settings directly on the keyboard
are explained.
More complicated settings are best programmed via software. Via the soft-
ware you can set the full 16.8 million colors (via hardware only the 7 basic
colors are available).
Color sequence:
Commands for LED settings:
Essentially, the keyboard has 14 lighting modes, 13 of which can be toggled
with the key combination <FN> + <Ins>.
The following key combinations allow the rst 13 LED modes to be congu-

Gaming keys
The nal mode is the illumination of the gaming keys. For each of the ve
proles, you can select a lighting conguration matching your games layout. By
default, ve assignments are already pre-congured here.They may be activa-
ted via the keyboard shortcuts <FN> + <1> - <5>.
Programming of the gaming keys is done as follows:
1. Select an LED gaming prole with <FN> + <1> - <5>.
2. Begin programming via <FN> + <Pos1>.
3. Now the current prole is deleted and new programming can
take place. To do this, press any desired key several times un-
til it lights up in the desired color. The sequence of colors is as follows:
4. Once all relevant keys have been programmed, editing can be completed
with <FN> + <Pos1>.
LED Reset:
If you want to reset the lighting settings to the factory settings, you can do so
at any time using the key combination <FN> + <Esc>.
SOFTWARE
Software installation
» Plug the keyboard into an available USB port on your computer.

Proles:
The three existing proles 1-3 each store a different setup of the LK300 key-
board that can be saved via software to the hardware. This way it is always
available when connecting to another computer.

created and edited.
The procedure for this is the following:
1. Click the Macro Editor in the software
2. Right-click in the macro list to create a new macro. Give it a name and
conrm with OK.
3. Select macro in the macro list by left-clicking
4. Start the macro recording with [Start Record] and enter the desired key
sequence (up to 30 characters). Click [Stop Record] to conrm the re-
cording.
5. Now save the macro with [Save].
6. Now close the window with the X at the top right.
7. By left-clicking on one of the macro keys [G1] - [G5] the macro can be
assigned. Then click the [Macro] button and select the macro you just
created.
8. Now transfer the settings to the keyboard with the [Apply] button.
9. Now open a text editor and press the selected macro key.The program-
med string will now be replayed.
Editing macros:
Selecting a macro in the Macro Editor displays its sequence.Timing can now be
edited or new events be inserted or deleted.This is done by clicking with the
right mouse button. Use the drop down [Insert event] to add more events,
such as mouse clicks or single events.
Timing Options:
The check mark in [Automatic recording of time delay] ensures that the timing
of the input is taken into account during recording.This is the recommended
mode. If the check mark is omitted, the respective macro will be played at full
speed.
Repeat options:
Here you can choose between two modes:
1. [Cycle until the key is released] - here the macro is repeated as long as
the key is held down.
2. [Specied cycle times] - here you can dene how many times it should
automatically repeat. Repeat is the default option.

A special feature of the „Game keys“ mode is that each button can be
assigned to a different color (see also the gaming keys section above). Simply
select a color and then click on the key that you want to have that color. The
second color box can also be used to select a background color (an example
would be, for example, a white background and red gaming keys.
All settings can be transferred to the keyboard by clicking [Apply] (Software
remains open) or [Ok] (Software will close). A brief moment later, the selec-
ted mode will be displayed.
