Frequently Asked Questions - Hermes E7 Gamdias

How do I connect the Hermes E7 keyboard?

Plug the USB cable into an available USB 2.0 port on your computer. The keyboard will be automatically recognized. For full software functionality, install the Gamdias Hermes Engine from the official website.

What type of switches does the Hermes E7 use?

The Hermes E7 uses mechanical switches, typically Gamdias Hera or Kailh box switches (depending on the variant). They are hot-swappable? Actually, they are soldered but can be replaced with desoldering.

Can I customize the RGB lighting?

Yes, via the Gamdias Hermes Engine software. You can choose from preset effects or create per-key custom colors. Onboard memory allows saving up to 5 profiles.

How do I clean the keyboard?

Disconnect the keyboard. Use compressed air to dislodge debris between keys. Wipe the surface with a slightly damp (not wet) microfiber cloth. Avoid isopropyl alcohol unless necessary.

Is the Hermes E7 compatible with macOS?

It works as a standard USB keyboard on macOS, but advanced features like macro programming and RGB customization require the Windows-only Hermes Engine software.

What is N-key rollover?

N-key rollover means every key press is registered simultaneously, regardless of how many keys are pressed. This prevents ghosting and is essential for fast-paced gaming.

Does the keyboard have media keys?

Yes, it includes dedicated media control keys (play/pause, volume, mute) via the Fn layer. The exact location is shown in the manual.

How do I reset the keyboard to factory settings?

Press and hold the Fn + Esc keys for 5 seconds until the LEDs flash. This clears all custom profiles and returns default lighting.

What do I do if a key stops working?

First, check for physical debris under the keycap. Remove the keycap (use a puller if needed) and clean. If the switch is defective, it may need desoldering and replacement. Contact Gamdias support for service.

Where can I download the user manual and software?

Visit the official Gamdias website at www.gamdias.com under the Hermes E7 product page. Manuals and the Hermes Engine software are available for download.
