What are onboard profiles?
Onboard profiles allow you to save your personalized keyboard settings directly to the keyboard through M HUB.
These settings may include:
- Macros
- Key remapping
- Lighting effects
- Actuation distance
- Rapid Trigger settings
- Other supported keyboard parameters
Once saved to an onboard profile, the settings are stored on the keyboard itself.
Core benefit:
After saving settings to onboard profiles, you can use the keyboard on another computer without installing M HUB again. The keyboard will keep your saved settings as soon as it is connected.
Firmware and model support
To use multiple onboard profiles, please update your keyboard firmware to the latest version.
Multiple onboard profiles are supported on:
- All MCHOSE magnetic switch keyboards, except Zero75 and Zero75S
- Mechanical keyboard K87S
Note:
Some functions may vary depending on the keyboard model and firmware version.
