4.6 Adjust Global Macro Speed (SmartSet + F9, then number row)
The Freestyle Edge can playback macros at one of nine different speeds, ranging from a super-slow 4 actions
-per-second (APS) up to a blazing fast 3,000 APS! The default Global speed is Speed 5, which is good for
text macros but might be too slow for in-game macros. To adjust the Global speed, use the onboard shortcut
to enter Macro Speed Mode and then use the number row to select a speed from 1-9. If you wish to
temporarily disable macro playback without deleting any macros, chose "0" instead.

*Playback speeds are approximate. Exact speeds will depend on the length of the macro, your computer, and the active application. 
Note: You can override the Global speed setting and assign a custom, individual playback speed for any
given macro using the SmartSet App (see Section 5) or Direct Programming (see Section 6.5).
4.7 Enable/Disable NKRO Mode (SmartSet + F10)
NKRO ("n-key rollover") mode is a special operating mode that allows the keyboard to register all
simultaneous key-presses. Most standard keyboards, and even many gaming keyboards, limit the number of
keys you can press at one time to six (aka "6KRO"). If you press more than 6 keys at a time on a 6KRO
keyboard, the keyboard may fail to register some of those key-presses. 6KRO is fine for basic typing and will
work for most gamers a majority of the time, but hardcore gamers who are playing at lightning-fast speeds
prefer NKRO keyboards for maximum performance. Use the onboard shortcut to toggle NKRO Mode on and
off (the Edge will take a second to re-enumerate). NKRO mode will remain in effect until keyboard is
unplugged or the v-Drive is opened. Confirm NKRO mode with the Status Report.
4.8 Enable/Disable Game Mode (SmartSet + F11)
Game Mode disables all Windows key actions to keep you from accidentally exiting out
of your game. Use the onboard shortcut to toggle Game Mode on and off. The Game
Mode indicator LED will illuminate when Game Mode is enabled.
4.9 Soft Reset (SmartSet + Shift + F12) & Hard Reset (SmartSet + F12 while plugging in
keyboard)
Use the Soft Reset onboard shortcut to erase all custom remaps and macros in both layers of the active
layout. The "Reset" legend is capitalized to remind you that you need to combine the Shift key with the
SmartSet key to protect you from accidentally performing a Soft Reset.
Use the Hard Reset onboard shortcut to erase all nine layouts and restore the Edge to its factory default
settings.
