Connect the mechanical keyboard: Connect the mechanical keyboard to the computer, open the key programming software, and make sure the software has recognized the mechanical keyboard.

Design key layout: In the key programming software, use drag and drop, add, delete, etc. to design your own key layout. You can customize the function and mapping of each key.

Configure key behavior: In the key programming software, you can configure the key behavior of each key, such as single-click, double-click, long-press, etc. You can also set the trigger mode and delay of the key.

Download configuration file: In the key programming software, export the designed key layout and key behavior as a configuration file, and then download it to the mechanical keyboard.
