Macro Playback
To playback a macro, simply press the trigger key(s). Modifier co-triggers should be pressed first and held
while the primary trigger key is then tapped. See Sections 4.6 and 6.5 to adjust the playback speed.
Erasing a Macro
To erase a macro onboard, simply tap the Macro key, then input the trigger key(s) of the macro you wish to
erase. Once the Macro LED starts flashing slow, simply tap the Macro key again to record an "empty" macro.
Macro Limit
Each layout can accommodate 24 macros. When you have reached the limit the keyboard will flash when if
you tap the Macro key to signal that you must erase a macro before recording a new one.

4.3 Remapping Keys

With the Remap key, you can reassign any default key action on the Freestyle Edge to any other full-size key
(in either layer) to customize the layout for gaming or typing. The only key that cannot be remapped onboard
is the Fn key but the Fn key can be remapped using the SmartSet App or Direct Programming.
Tap the Remap key to enter Remap Mode. The Remap LED will flash rapidly to prompt you to first
select the "Source" key action (i.e., the key action that you wish to assign). After selecting the Source
key, the LED will flash slowly prompting you to select the "Destination" key position (i.e., the physical
key that you wish to perform the new action). Once you select the Destination key Remap Mode will end.
Remapping Tips

Remapping is a one-way process, it creates a duplicate key action but it does not "swap" two key actions.
To "swap" two keys you must perform two separate remap programming commands.

Remapping only operates on one layer at a time. To remap the same key in both layers you must perform
two separate remap commands, one for each layer.

While Remap Mode is active, you can use the Fn key to navigate between layers as necessary if you wish
to move a key action (e.g., the media keys) from the Fn layer to the top layer, or vice versa.

While Remap Mode is active, the keyboard reverts back to the default QWERTY layout.
Special Actions
If you would like to assign a key action that is not present in the default Edge layout, you can select from a
menu of supported Special Actions using the SmartSet App or Direct Programming (see Sections 5 and 6.3).
Macro and Remap conflict
It is possible to assign a macro and a remap to the same physical key. In that event, the macro playback will
take priority over the remap action when you press that key, except when macros have been temporarily
disabled (see Section 4.6).
