These settings can be downloaded and saved to the keyboard (Note: after this, these user-defined settings can be memorized by the keyboard, next time, user can use them directly, no need to run and connect the keyboard to the driver software.) The reference setting: multifunctional reuse settings of the space bar, click for the regular space function, Space + other key’s combination to call this key’s pre-setting function on the onboard mode layer 3. Press FN + W again, back to the standard mode.
