Introduction
The Aimpad R5 Analog Keyboard is the most advanced mechanical keyboard on
the market today. We are happy you get to experience the Awesomeness of
Aimpad. While every effort has been made to simplify the various functions and
features of this keyboard, it is still a very complex device. We highly recommend
reading this manual to gain an understanding of everything it can do so you can fully
leverage the device to its full capacity. We’ll try to make the learning process at least
moderately entertaining. But, if you don’t have time to learn all the cool things the
Aimpad R5 keyboard can do for now, then plug it in and have some fun! If you get
lost, we’ll be here waiting for you.

Profiles
The Aimpad R5 Keyboard has 6 different profiles designed for 6 specific uses. Each
Profile is selected by pressing and holding FN and then pressing F1-F6 depending
on which profile you want to activate. Get used to holding the FN key, you are
gonna be best buddies soon.
FN + “F1”(Blue Profile) –FPS Mode –This is the default profile that the keyboard
will start in when you first plug it in. The WASD keys will function as the left analog
stick of an Xbox controller allowing you to move forward, back, left and right
smoothly in games. All other keys on the keyboard are otherwise normal boring
keyboard keys.

FN + “F2”(Green Profile) –Driving Mode –In this Profile the W and S keys will
function as the Left and Right Analog Triggers of an Xbox controller. Typically,
when a game assumes you are driving using an Xbox controller it assumes you
want to use the right trigger as your gas pedal and the left trigger as your brake
pedal… Game developers typically won’t let you remap Xbox controls. So, this
mode will allow you to drive using the WASD keys like you would expect. All other
keys are normal boring keyboard keys.

FN + “F3”(Yellow Profile) Advanced Flight Mode –This Profile is designed to
give you the most control over all available analog functions of an Xbox controller.
This allows you to control 4 analog axis with the left hand while controlling two
different axis using the mouse for full movement control in 3D space. WASD will
function like the left analog stick, Q and E will function as the Right and Left
Triggers, R and F will function as the Right Stick (Up and Down), and the 4 arrows
keys will function as the Right Stick (Up, Down, Left and Right). By default, all other
keys will be normal keyboard keys, but in the image below you will see some
additional functions that can be assigned to the keys. But, you aren’t ready for that
yet… we’ll get there in a minute… fine… if you think you are ready you can learn
more on page 12.

FN + “F4”(White Profile) Mouse Mode –In this Profile the E, S, D, F keys will
allow you to smoothly move the mouse cursor. The Q and A keys will allow you to
scroll up and down as if you were using a mouse scroll wheel. The further you press
in the key the faster you will scroll. The Space Bar functions as the “Left Click.” The
Left Shift button functions as the “Right Click”. The Left Alt key functions as the
“Middle Click”. All other keys are normal boring keyboard keys.
Smooth Scroll –By pressing FN+Q while in Mouse Mode you can activate a
smoother scrolling option in applications that support is (web browsers and Office
applications). The mouse scroll option is replaced with a “middle click” scroll instead
allowing a scrolling experience that is not as “jumpy” as normal mouse scrolling.

FN + “F5”(Purple Profile) Activation Point MOBA Mode –In this Profile you can
set the activation point of the analog keyboard keys. This is limited to the following
12 keys: Q, W, E, R, A, S, D, F, Up Arrow, Left Arrow, Down Arrow, Right Arrow. By
default these keys will activate at the very top of the key press for a “hair trigger”
activation point. Please see the section Activation Point Control on page 18 to learn
how to set the activation to a different point on these keys.
FN + “F6”(Red Profile) –Normal Keyboard Mode –In this Profile the keyboard is
just a normal boring keyboard. The keys are all activated using the normal electrical
contacts of the Cherry MX switches. We felt the need to include this boring mode or
people would throw a fit. If nothing else it helps contrast the experience of using a
normal keyboard with a real gaming keyboard.

Alternate Profile Layouts
All of the Profiles (except the F6 mode) have an alternate key layout. You can
switch between the Default and Alternate Layouts by pressing FN + “Left Alt”. The
LEDs will briefly turn Green indicating the Alternate Layout is activated. If you press
FN + “Left Alt”again the LEDs will briefly turn Red indicating the Alternate Layout
has been deactivated and returned to the Default Layout. F1-F3 Profiles share the
same Layout toggle (ie, it is assumed if you want to use ESDF you will use ESDF in
all F1-F3 Profiles), but F4 and F5 Layouts are toggled separately.
F1-F3 Profiles –The left analog stick control is moved from WASD to the ESDF key
position. In F3 mode this shifts the Left/Right Triggers from Q/E to W/R and the
Up/Down Right Stick control is moved from R/F to Q/A.

F4 Profile –The default ESDF position is moved to WASD to move the mouse
cursor and the scroll wheel is moved from Q/A to R/F.
F5 Profile –Currently the F5 profile does not have an alternate layout. Instead you
can enable a secondary activation point for each analog key by pressing FN + the
analog key you want to enable the secondary activation point. So, at the top of the
keypress the “Q” will be activated. But, if you continue to press the key down a
second key “U” will be activated. Likewise, the “W” key will also activate the “I” key,
the “E” will also activate the “O” key and the “R” key will also activate the “P” key.
This allows you to map additional related functions to the same key. For example,
you could map the top of the key press of “Q” to show the Area of Effect of a spell
should you wish to cast it. And then pressing the “Q” key all the way will actually
activate that spell. This is most useful in MOBA and RPG games.
