Keystrokes
The HID (human interface device) protocol lets devices send standard computer keyboard
keystrokes. USB game controllers are an example of this, acting as an alternative to your
computer’s keyboard. Your Code Series keyboard’s assignable
buttons
can also use the HID
protocol, letting you configure certain buttons to send your most-often used keystrokes to
your software (for example,
Control
+
C
to copy).
The buttons must be in HID Mode to do this (see
).
