Intructions on how to program Vortex Pok3r mechanical keyboard

The POK3R built in 4-layers. The default layer can not be programmed. Only layer 2~4 can be. Fn-Right_Ctrl/M/</> and ? keys are fixed can not be programmed.

  • Step 1: Choose the layer (Fn+<,> or ? key) that you want to program.
  • Step 2: Press Fn-Right_Ctrl to enter the programming mode (spacebar right LED steadily lit).
  • Step 3: Press the key you want to program (spacebar right LED flashing).
  • Step 4: Key in the programming content and then press Pn (spacebar right LED steadily lit again).
  • Step 5: Repeat step 2 and step 3 to program other keys.
  • Step 6: Press Fn-Right_Ctrl to exit programming mode (spacebar right LED off).

Restore to default

  • Current layer: Press and hold Fn-R (Spacebar left LED is flashing at the after 5 seconds, then the layer will restore to default).

  • All layers: Press and hold both Alt (Right and Left) to clean all layers program key codes that you had programmed.

Note: If you have changed the Fn position and forgot where it was, you still can press the original Fn (at the right side of the right Alt) position and R to restore it.

Special keys

In order to change the mapping for the Fn key, you need to follow these steps:

  • Unplug keyboard.
  • Flip DIP 4 to "on" (on the back of the keyboard's base).
  • Plug the keyboard back in (careful, mistakes here usually require you to reset your layer, losing all that stuff you did before).
  • First press Fn. Then press Left_Ctrl (that Left_Ctrl key is now bound to Fn).
  • Now press Pn. Then press Pn again, assuming you don't want to move it. If you want to move it, then press that key instead.
  • Now flip DIP 4 back to "off".

Notes:

  • Once you've flipped DIP 4, you must bind both Fn and Pn or else you can end up with one of them completely unbound which will require a reset of ALL layers.
  • Once you move your Fn to Left_Ctrl, your "real" Fn key will automatically function as a Win key. In the case that you move your Pn key, it gets replaced by an App key.
  • Right_Ctrl can't be changed to FN or PN.
