The Koolertron SMKD72 is a mechanical, wired thumbkeyboard designed for various applications, offering extensive customization and programmability. It is available in three product variations: SMKD72-A, SMKD72-B, and SMKD72-C, which differ primarily in the number of keys.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Koolertron SMKD72 is to provide a compact, programmable input device, often used as a numpad or a specialized macro keyboard. It allows users to remap keys, create complex macros, and switch between different keymap configurations (profiles) to suit various tasks or software applications. The device is designed to be plug-and-play, compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and Linux operating systems, leveraging standard keyboard drivers. Its mechanical switches provide tactile feedback, which is characteristic of mechanical keyboards. The keyboard management software, which runs on Windows, enables users to customize the key assignments and macro functions, with these settings stored directly on the keyboard's microprocessor (MCU) for use across different operating systems without requiring driver installation.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Dimensions: 19.2 cm (length) x 12.0 cm (width) x 2.8 cm (height).
• Key Number:
  • SMKD72-A: 48 keys
  • SMKD72-B: 46 keys
  • SMKD72-C: 44 keys
• Connectivity: Wired, via Mini USB.
• Microcontroller: 12MHz MCU.
• Power Rating: DC 5V, < 100mA.
• Operating Systems Compatibility: Plug and Play for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.
• Software Compatibility: Keyboard Management software is Windows-based.
• Indicators: Three LED indicators for:
  • 1#: Num Lock / Fn2 / Profile-1 (blink)
  • 2#: Scroll / Fn1 / Profile-2 (blink)
  • 3#: Caps Lock (disabled)

Usage Features:

• Programmable Keys: All keys on the device are programmable, allowing users to assign any desired function or character to each key.
• Multiple Profiles (Keymaps): The device supports 4 profiles (keymaps) internally: Default Cfg Mode, Cfg Mode 1, Cfg Mode 2, and Cfg Mode 3. Users can define a dedicated mode key (e.g., Key37) to switch between these profiles. For instance, Key37 can be configured to switch to Profile 1, Profile 2, Profile 3, or back to the default configuration.
• Function Keys (Fn1, Fn2): The device includes Fn1 (Shift/Scroll) and Fn2 (Shift/Num) functions, which may require self-setting.
• Macro Capabilities:
  • Key Macro: Supports Burst Macro and Combination Macro types.
  • Gaming Macro: Supports Round Robin, Continue, and Jitter Macro types.
• Configuration Mode: To enter configuration mode, users must press and hold the top-left key, then plug in the USB cable. The panel LED will flash in a 2-1-2 pattern, indicating entry into this mode. This mode allows users to change key maps and macros using the "Thumbkeyboard Configuration Software."
• Software for Customization: The "Thumbkeyboard Configuration Software" is an executive program (not a driver) that runs on Windows. It allows users to customize key assignments and macros. Once configured, the settings are stored on the keyboard's MCU, making them persistent even when connected to other operating systems (Mac OS, Linux) without the need for the software or drivers. The software can be downloaded from the provided URL: http://amazonfiles.s3.amazonaws.com/smkd72.rar.

Maintenance Features:

• Troubleshooting "Unknown Device": If the device shows "Unknown device" or fails to connect, users should check the USB port.
• Driver-Free Operation: The device is plug-and-play and does not require specific drivers, utilizing the default keyboard drivers built into Windows and Mac OS. This simplifies setup and reduces compatibility issues.
• Physical Adjustment for Uneven Shell: If the bottom of the shell is not flat, users can gently hold the left and right edges of the keypad and twist it slightly up or down to adjust.
• Customer Support: Users are advised to read the manual carefully and keep it for future reference. For assistance, customers should contact the support team with their product model number and order number.
