New feature: Custom “FnX” keys, import/export of macro and light effects for our mechanical keyboard

(Since:20171206)

Updated new features of iGK6X series programmable 60% mechanical keyboard

Some updated function of iGK6X programmable mechanical keyboard, which makes iGK6X keyboard more flexibly programmable.

1) Add custom “FnX” function in every offline working modes.

Users may set custom “FnX” keys in offline mode to use functions of combined keys. This an important function which is only available in offline mode ( this function is unavailable in standard mode or online mode ), press “FnX” + XX(key) to ouput the value set of XX key in other working mode.

For example, users may set a key or some keys to be “FnX” in offline mode 1, these “FnX” are used to switch on other offline modes or standard mode, e.g.

set “CapsLock”=”Fn2”,

set “Tab” =”Fn3″.

set “Ctrl”=”Fn(Standard)”.

On the other hand,

set “W,A,S,D”=”Del,Backspace,Ins,PrtSc” in offline mode 1,

set “W,A,S,D”=”Up,Left,Down,Right” in offline mode 2,

set “W,A,S,D” = “PgUP,Home,PgDn,End” in offline mode 3.

Thus, when working in offline mode 1,with “Fn” combined keys, “W,A,S,D” may output the following:

“W,A,S,D”= “Del,Backspace,Ins,PrtSc”

“Ctrl(FnStandard)”+”W,A,S,D”=”W,A,S,D”,

“CapLock(Fn2)” +”W,A,S,D”= “Up,Left,Down,Right”

“Tab(Fn3)” +”W,A,S,D”= “PgUP,Home,PgDn,End”

More “FnX” keys are supported, e.g, you may set more than 2 keys to be “Fn1”, it brings convenience for someone’s operation habit.

This is a powerful function for some applying case.

2) Add Import/Export function for macros.

Import/Export menus for macro were added on macro UI of the driver software. Macros may be exported and saved as “.cms” files in computer. Now, users may backup macros or share the macros with friends, “.cms” file may be imported and display in the macro list of the driver software.

3)Add Import/Export function for light effects.
