Onboard Configuration

What Is Onboard Configuration?

Onboard Configuration allows you to save your personalized settings directly to the keyboard. These settings may include macros, key mappings, lighting effects, trigger travel, and other performance parameters.

After the settings are saved to the keyboard, you can use them on another computer without setting up the driver again.

Key Benefits

• Plug and play: Use your saved settings on another computer without reconfiguring the keyboard.
• Driver-free use: Once the settings are saved to the keyboard, the driver does not need to stay open during normal use.
• Portable profiles: Keep your preferred keyboard settings with your device.

Firmware Support

To use onboard profile functions, please update your keyboard firmware to the latest version in M HUB.

Note: Feature availability may vary depending on the keyboard model, firmware version, and M HUB version. If the onboard function is not displayed or cannot be used, update the firmware and driver first.

Onboard Configuration vs. Inactive Configuration

To use an inactive configuration on the keyboard, move it to Onboard Configuration first.

How to Switch Onboard Profiles Without Opening M HUB

You can bind the Switch Onboard function to a key, allowing you to switch onboard profiles directly from the keyboard.

Setup Steps

1. Open M HUB.

   

   

2. Go to Key Remapping.
3. Bind the Switch Onboard function to any key.
4. Select Apply to all onboard devices.
5. Save or apply the setting.

RGB Color Reference

Hex refers to hexadecimal color code. RGB refers to standard RGB color values. The following commonly used colors are for reference only.

Note: Actual lighting colors may vary slightly due to ambient light, switch structure, and backlight refraction. This is normal.

Trigger Settings

Trigger settings allow you to customize the actuation behavior of your magnetic switch keyboard.

Setup Steps

1. Select a configuration: Only custom configurations can be modified. Official preset profiles are designed for direct use.
2. Select keys: You can apply settings globally or adjust specific keys individually.
3. Modify parameters: Customize actuation travel, Rapid Trigger, and dead zone settings.

4. Move your mouse over the parameter area in M HUB to view more details about each setting.

   

Default Profile Parameters

Note: Preset profiles are not directly editable. To customize parameters, create or select a custom configuration.

Key Remapping Settings

Modify Key Mapping

You can remap keys by dragging the desired key function to the target key on the keyboard layout.

1. Open M HUB.
2. Go to Key Remapping.
3. Select the key function you want to use.
4. Drag it to the key you want to modify.
5. Save or apply the setting.

For example, if you drag Q onto Z, pressing Z will output Q, and the original Z function will be replaced.

You can click Restore All Defaults to restore all key mappings to their default settings.

Keyboard Layers

Default Layer for Windows Mode

The default layer is the main keyboard layer. Pressing a key directly triggers its assigned function without additional key combinations.

Fn Layer for Windows Mode

The Fn layer is used for shortcut functions, such as keyboard settings, multimedia controls, and special shortcuts.

For example, pressing Fn + N or Fn + M can adjust volume if these functions are assigned in the current layout.

Mac Layer

When the keyboard is switched to macOS mode, key bindings are displayed based on the Mac layer. This is the main function layer for macOS mode.

Fn Layer for macOS Mode

You can remap a key to Fn3. Pressing and holding Fn3 together with another key will trigger the assigned shortcut function.

For example, you can assign Fn2 or Fn3 to the W key. Then, in the Fn2/Fn3 layer, assign Z to Q. After setup, pressing W plus Q will output Z.

Macro Recording

M HUB provides 16 preset macro recording slots on the key remapping page.

How to Create a Macro

1. Open the key remapping settings page.
2. Click the edit button next to a macro slot.
3. Enter the macro recording interface.
4. Modify the macro name if needed.
5. Set the loop type if needed.
6. Record or edit the macro commands.
7. Save the macro.
8. Drag the saved macro command to the target key.

After setup, pressing the assigned key will trigger the macro.

Advanced Key Functions

RS

RS activates a specific key based on press depth between two bound keys.

For example, if A and D are bound together and A is pressed deeper than D, A will be activated while D will not. If both keys are fully pressed, both keys can be activated.

SOCD

SOCD allows you to bind two selected keys and trigger one key based on the selected priority rule. It can also neutralize both inputs when both keys are pressed at the same time.

DKS

DKS allows one key to trigger up to four different actions based on different press depth zones. By setting the actuation range of a key, you can decide how deeply the key must be pressed to trigger different functions.

MT

MT allows one key to trigger two different functions depending on whether the key is tapped or held.

TGL

TGL allows a key to toggle continuous triggering. Press the key once to start continuous triggering, and press it again to stop. A long press can still trigger the function normally.

Performance Settings

Polling Rate

Changing the polling rate can reduce theoretical keyboard latency.

• Ace60: supports 1K polling rate
• Ace60 Pro: supports 1K, 2K, 4K, and 8K polling rates
• Ace60 X Series: supports 1K, 2K, 4K, and 8K polling rates

Berserk Mode

When supported by the keyboard model, Berserk Mode allows more sensitive Rapid Trigger settings for faster response.

• Ace60: Rapid Trigger can be set as low as 0.02 mm
• Ace60 Pro: Rapid Trigger can be set as low as 0.005 mm
• Ace60 X Series: Rapid Trigger can be set as low as 0.01 mm

Adaptive Dynamic Calibration

We recommend keeping Adaptive Dynamic Calibration enabled. When enabled, each key press helps the keyboard automatically calibrate. The more the keyboard is used, the more stable and accurate the calibration can become.

If the switch type has not been changed, manual calibration is usually not required.

Win Key Lock

Win Key Lock prevents accidental Windows key presses during gaming. You can also press Fn + Win to quickly lock the Win key.

Note: Win Key Lock does not apply to macOS mode.

Stability Mode

Stability Mode helps improve input stability when using highly sensitive trigger settings. If accidental input occurs with extreme parameters, enabling Stability Mode may help.

Other Settings

Firmware Update

You can check and update the keyboard firmware in M HUB.

Important: During firmware updates, the keyboard may restart automatically. A short disconnection during this process is normal. Wait a few seconds for the keyboard to reconnect.

Factory Reset

The one-click factory reset option restores the keyboard to default settings, including trigger parameters and key remapping settings.

Note: A factory reset will remove or invalidate customized settings. Please export important configurations before resetting if needed.
