How to Toggle NKRO

N-key rollover (NKRO) is a function that allows multiple keys to be pressed and registered simultaneously. Typically, USB keyboards support 6-key rollover by default, so when a 7th key is pressed, it would not be registered. In some legacy software environment or BIOS environment, only the default 6-key rollover is supported, so n-key rollover function would need to be disabled.

On the KM570, n-key rollover is enabled by default. To toggle between NKRO and 6-key rollover, press "Fn + F6".

On-the-Fly Macro Recording (OTF Macro)

Macro is a sequence of key combination that can be set to activate with a single key press. The KM570 allows on-the-fly macro recording to any key (except the "MR" and "Fn" key) without additional software. Macros are typically used to repeat a complex action that uses two or more keys, which may be useful in games and document processing. To record macro on-the-fly:

1. Press the "MR" key.
2. Select and press a key to program. (e.g. "F1" key)
3. Press the key combination you wish to program as macro to the key. (e.g. "Ctrl+C")
4. Press the "MR" key to end macro recording. (Now pressing "F1" will function as "Ctrl+C")

Note: To clear the macro from a key, press "MR", then press the key, and press "MR" again to reset the key to its default function. To stop a macro while it is running, press the "MR" key once to interrupt and end the macro sequence.

Macro Record (MR) function key is locked by default. To unlock, press "Fn" + "MR".

How to Reset Keyboard Settings

To reset all keyboard settings, press and hold "Left Ctrl" + "Left Alt" + "Right Ctrl" keys for at least three seconds. The four indicator lights on the top right corner will flash on and off to indicate that the keyboard settings are being reset to default. The lights will stop flashing when the reset is complete. The following settings will be reset to its default values:

• All per-key macro settings
  • Per-key lighting settings
• Lighting effect speed
  • Keyboard backlight brightness
  • n-Key/6-key rollover function
• Windows key lock
