The software is downloaded from the Tt ESPORTS website and only takes a few seconds to install.
The software package is accessed from the Windows task bar. The Graphical User Interface loads in a few seconds and communicates with the keyboard. There are two modes: ‘normal' mode and ‘gaming' mode.
Macro functionality is accessed from the Macro Key button on the right hand side of the GUI. The user can create new macros which can be recorded directly from the keyboard. Delay time is also included. Users can adjust the delay time by pressing “Adjust Delay Time”.
When the recording is finished, the STOP button can be pressed. If needed, the macro key contents can be adjusted by pressing “∧/Up”, ” ∨/Down” or the “Del” button. The delay time between key actions can also be adjusted as well.
Normal mode and Gaming mode offer completely different sets of Macros for the end user. Macro's can then be set to a ‘T key'.
If the user presses the “INSTANT SHIFT SYS.” button beneath the GUI, the “Instant Shift Sys.” screen will appear as shown above.
Select the profile you want and assign one quick key (Shift/Ctrl/Alt) and you can reach all 60 T Keys within one profile.
You can select a Macro setting from the drop list to assign a T Key. For REPEAT actions, you have the following selections. Once : It repeats the Macro key function once when the key is pressed. Multiple Times : You can enter repeat count to your preference. When Press & Hold :It repeats the preset function when you press and hold on to the Macro keys function. Until Pressed Next Time: Press the Macro key once and it repeats the function until any key is pressed.
You can assign any key as another key definition within the standard key area. After completing the macro key (T Key) or single key setting in each individual profile, you MUST save the profile configuration into the keyboard memory or the configuration will fail to set up properly.
T keys can also be set up as a launch program function. Simply browse to the correct EXE file to setup the Launch function. The refresh icon at the top right of the panel is actually a ‘reset' button, not a refresh button. The large ‘R' allows you to register the keyboard with Thermaltake.
The light options are useful. The image above shows ‘red' marked keys. These are lit up by default. The row of buttons along the bottom are based on the strength of the lighting from 1 to IV which translates to 0% / 33% / 66% / 100% lighting. Unfortunately there is no way to light all the keys.
There is also a ‘pulse' option, which can be seen in the video above.
