4. Bedienungsanleitung

4.1 Abfragerate und Latenz

The MCHOSE ACE 68 features an 8000Hz polling rate and a 128K scan rate, resulting in an ultra-low 0.1ms latency. This ensures rapid and precise input registration.

4.2 Schnellauslösung und einstellbare Betätigung

The keyboard's magnetic switches allow for dynamic actuation and deactivation points, eliminating traditional input latency.

• Schnellauslöser: Keys activate when pressed and deactivate when released, without a fixed reset point. This allows for faster repeated inputs.
• Einstellbare Betätigung: Customize the actuation point of each key from 0.1mm to 4.0mm using the M HUB software. This provides precise control over key sensitivity.

4.3 Advanced Key Functionality (M HUB Software)

The M HUB software allows for advanced customization of key behavior:

• RS (Rappy Snappy): Monitors at least two selected keys and activates the key pressed the furthest. When both are at the same depth, it uses your selected SOCD resolution. This enhances movement in games.
• SOCD (Simultaneous Opposing Cardinal Directions): When opposing direction keys (e.g., Left + Right) are pressed together, you can set it to neutralize, prioritize the last-pressed, or hold the first-pressed direction.
• DKS (Dynamic Key Press): Map up to four separate actions along a single key's travel at actuation, bottom-out, first release, and full release for complex macros or multi-stage-Befehle.
• MT (Mod-Tap): Assign a key to send one keycode on a quick tap and a different (usually modifier) code when held, blending typing and modifier layers seamlessly.
• TGL (Umschalten): Turn any key into an on/off switch-press once to latch the output; press again to cancel. A hold still provides momentary behavior.

4.4 RGB-Beleuchtungsanpassung

The MCHOSE ACE 68 features customizable RGB backlighting with 16.8 million colors and 22+ dynamic lighting effects.

• FN-Tastenkombinationen: Use the Function (FN) key in combination with other keys to adjust lighting effects directly on the keyboard.
• M HUB Software: For full customization, including per-key lighting and advanced effects, use the M HUB web Treiber.

5. Wartung

5.1 Reinigung

• Trennen Sie die Tastatur vor der Reinigung vom Computer.
• Verwenden Sie ein weiches, trockenes Tuch, um die Tastenkappen und das Tastaturgehäuse abzuwischen.
• Für eine gründlichere Reinigung verwenden Sie eine Dose Druckluft, um Staub und Schmutz zwischen den Tastenkappen zu entfernen.
• Vermeiden Sie die Verwendung von aggressiven Chemikalien oder Scheuermitteln, da diese die Oberfläche der Tastatur oder die Beschriftung der Tastenkappen beschädigen können.

5.2 Austausch von Tastenkappen und Schaltern

The MCHOSE ACE 68 features hot-swappable magnetic switches, allowing for easy replacement without soldering.

1. Verwenden Sie den mitgelieferten Tastenkappenabzieher, um die gewünschte Tastenkappe vorsichtig zu entfernen.
2. Use the provided switch puller to carefully extract the magnetic switch from its socket.
3. Richten Sie die Stifte des neuen Schalters an den Löchern auf der Leiterplatte aus und drücken Sie ihn fest, bis er einrastet.
4. Setzen Sie die Tastenkappe wieder auf den neuen Schalter.

6. Fehlerbehebung

• Tastatur reagiert nicht:
  • Stellen Sie sicher, dass das USB-Kabel sowohl mit der Tastatur als auch mit dem Computer fest verbunden ist.
  • Versuchen Sie, die Tastatur an einen anderen USB-Anschluss Ihres Computers anzuschließen.
  • Testen Sie die Tastatur an einem anderen Computer, um systemspezifische Probleme auszuschließen.
• Input Lag or Dropped Inputs:
  • Ensure the M HUB web driver is installed and updated to the latest version.
  • Check the polling rate setting in the M HUB software; ensure it is set correctly for your needs.
  • If 'Berserk Mode' is enabled in the M HUB software, be aware that while it offers maximum accuracy, it may impact stability with mixed switch configurations. Try disabling it if issues persist.
  • Ensure no other software or background processes are interfering with keyboard input.
• RGB-Beleuchtung funktioniert nicht/ist fehlerhaft:
  • Check FN key combinations for lighting control (refer to section 4.4).
  • Verify lighting settings within the M HUB software.
  • Stellen Sie sicher, dass die Firmware der Tastatur auf dem neuesten Stand ist.
• Tasten funktionieren nicht richtig:
  • Check the adjustable actuation settings for the specific key in the M HUB software.
  • If a switch feels faulty, consider replacing it using the provided spare switches and switch puller (refer to section 5.2).
