ation, press the SKILLER Function key + F6 twice.

key + sideways arrow keys to change the direction of the vortex.
FN + F7:
Tide – Waves run over the keyboard.

across the keyboard.

4.4 Set Frequency
All lighting effect speeds can be increased or decreased. Press the SKILLER Function key + Page Up to increa-
se the effect speed or SKILLER Function key + Page Down to slow down the effect speed.
Note:
Once the lowest level is reached, the Scroll Lock LED will blink to indicate that a lower level is not possible.
The same will happen once the highest level is reached.
4.5 Lighting Profiles
Your SKILLER MECH SGK1 already includes five preset lighting profiles, which each can be individually custo-
mizable. Within each profile, every key can illuminate with exception to the SKILLER Function key. To custo-
mize a profile, proceed as follows:
• Press the SKILLER Function key + F12. The profile key will start to blink.
• Select the desired profile key (F1 - F5). The lighting will cease.
• Press all keys that should illuminate during this profile. The selected keys will stay illuminated.
• To save the profile, press the SKILLER Function key + F12 again.
The profile is now saved under the selected Function key. To launch the profile, press the SKILLER Function
key and the defined profile key (F1 – F5). To stop the profile, simply select another profile or lighting effect.
