Instrucións de funcionamento

Operación básica

The MCHOSE ACE 68 functions as a standard QWERTY keyboard. Due to its 60% compact layout, some functions are accessed via the Function (Fn) key combinations.

Control de retroiluminación RGB

The keyboard features customizable RGB backlighting with 22 dynamic lighting effects. Use the following Fn key combinations to control the lighting:

  • Fn + Y: Switch lighting effect color.
  • Fn + F: Reducir a intensidade da iluminación.
  • Fn + G: Aumentar a luminosidade da iluminación.
  • Fn + U: Cycle through lighting effects.
  • Fn + H: Reducir a velocidade da iluminación.
  • Fn + J: Aumentar a velocidade da iluminación.
Diagram showing Fn key combinations for RGB lighting control: Fn+Y for color, Fn+F/G for brightness, Fn+U for effects, Fn+H/J for speed.

Adjustable Actuation and Rapid Trigger

The MCHOSE ACE 68 features magnetic switches that allow for adjustable actuation points from 0.1mm to 4.0mm. The Rapid Trigger function dynamically changes the actuation and deactivation points, enabling faster and more precise inputs by registering key presses and releases based on movement rather than fixed points.

Funcións avanzadas das teclas

The keyboard supports several advanced key functionalities for enhanced gaming and productivity:

  • RS (Rapid Shift): Compares the actuation depths of two assigned keys and triggers only the deeper-pressed key.
  • SOCD (Simultaneous Opposite Cardinal Directions): When opposing direction keys (e.g., Left + Right) are pressed together, you can set it to neutralize, prioritize the last-pressed, or hold the first-pressed direction.
  • DKS (Dynamic Key Press): Map up to four separate actions along a single key's travel—at actuation, bottom-out, first release, and full release—for chain macros or multi-stage comandos.
  • MT (Mod-Tap): Assign a key to send one keycode on a quick tap and a different (usually modifier) code when held, blending typing and modifier layers seamlessly.
  • TGL (alternar): Turn any key into an on/off switch—press once to latch the output, press again to cancel, with a hold still providing momentary behavior for instant control.
