A Profile is a data storage for keeping all your Razer devices’ settings. By default, the profile name
IS based on your system's name. To add, import, rename, duplicate, export, or delete a profile,
simply press the profile’s corresponding Miscellaneous button (eee ).

classes. With keymaps, you can have up to 8 sets of key assignments per profile, each represented
by a color on the Keymap Indicator to make it easier to see which keymap is currently active. To

Toggle Console View (lB) shows or hides the sidebar (=) including other keypad controls which
vou can modify on each Keymap such as its scroll wheel and thumbpad function.

Repeat delay, Repeat Rate, and Cursor blink rate, or view all keyboard drivers installed in your PC.
Opens the Windows Game Controllers Properties where you can calibrate your device's analog
stick inputs and see how quickly it responds and registers movement.
Set an estimated key travel (in millimeters) for both the Primary and Secondary actuation points to
adjust how sensitive your keys are before each point registers as an input. You'll find the secondary
actuation point useful if you want to activate a secondary function on any key using your preferred
key travel distance.
As the secondary actuation is a lower actuation point, the key travel distance must be equal or
greater than the primary actuation point distance.
