n52te Editor
n52te Editor is the tool used to create and customize profiles. A profile is a
set of remapped button functions that can be saved and recalled at a later
time.
Some examples of the programmable functions available are:
Single Key – Program a button on the n52te to emulate a keyboard key.
Macros – Record a sequence of keyboard keystrokes and/or mouse-button
presses to be played back when a button is pushed.
Keymap – Switch between the three color Keymaps (Blue, Red, Green) and
effectively triple the number of functions you can program for each button in a
single profile. The default Keymap is Blue.
Mouse – Program n52te to emulate mouse clicks or scroll wheel functions.
Polling Frequency – Sets the polling rate to: 125Hz, 500Hz, or 1000Hz.
Note: You need to reduce the polling rate if your Mac does not
support USB 2.0.
Razer Synapse™ – Store one of your profiles in the onboard memory to take
it with you! The profile stored with Razer Synapse will be available on any Mac
even without the software installed.

Creating a Profile
This section will explain how to create a profile using the n52te Editor
software. In general, creating a profile consists of remapping button functions
for each of the three Keymaps, configuring Auto-Switching options, and
naming and saving your profile.
1. Click on the “New Profile” button.
2. Locate and open the application executable you wish to program the new
profile to.
3. Your new profile has been created. Proceed to the next section to learn
how to customize and program your new profile.
Remapping Single-Key Assignments
1. Begin from the Profiles pane.
2. For the n52te button you wish to program, locate and select it from the
buttons list.
3. Under “Assignment:” select “Single Key” from the drop down menu.
Then press a key on your keyboard and it will be recorded by the Editor
software. When a key is assigned to a button, pushing the button is the
same as pressing that key on the keyboard.
4. If you are happy with the current assignment, you can continue to program
other buttons in the same manner or close out of the n52te Editor software
to immediately use your newly programmed profile.
Keymap
The n52te Editor allows you to program three Keymaps: Blue, Red, and
Green. A Keymap allows you to add another layer of programming to each
button. In order to switch between Keymaps during play, you must either
dedicate a button for switching to the desired Keymap, or dedicate one
to cycle through all three Keymaps. Because the second option of cycling
through Keymaps requires only one button, two extra buttons are free for
further customization.
Note: Buttons that are selected for one of these Keymap switching options
will be dedicated to this function across all three Keymaps in the current
profile.
• To program Keymap switching options, locate the desired n52te button
from the Profiles pane, then from the “Assignment” drop-down menu, select
“Keymap”. The default switching option is “Cycle Keymaps” To choose a
different one, select from the options available under the drop-down menu.
• If you select “Momentary”, the n52te will only load the desired keymap
while you hold that button down. If you select “Toggle”, the button acts like
a switch and n52te will remain in the desired keymap until another keymap
is selected.
MACROS
Macros are recorded sequences of keyboard keystrokes, and/or mousebutton presses that can be saved played back by the n52te at a later time.
The Macros pane allows you create, edit, and manage macros. Saved
macros can then be assigned to any button in any of the three Keymaps, and
are available for use in any profile.
Available Macros – This displays a list of existing macros currently stored
your Mac.
New – This button is used to create a new macro.
Delete – This button is used to delete any existing macro.
Import – This button allows you to import a macro from a backup or from a
different Mac.
Export – This button allows you to backup your macros or use on a different
Mac.
Note: You cannot record mouse click commands and advanced functions
during the macro recording phase, but you can add them manually by using
“Add Button”.
• You can view and edit different Keymaps by selecting “Blue”, “Red”, or
“Green” under the “Keymap” drop-down menu.

Repeat Mode – This setting determine how the macro will be played back
when triggered:
• Run Once (Default Setting) – Using this setting executes the macro only
once each time the assigned n52te button is pressed.
• Repeat while pressed – Using this setting will force the macro to repeat
continuously while the assigned n52te button is held down.
• Repeat Until Next Key – Using this setting forces the assigned button
to act like a toggle switch. If you push it once and let go, the macro will
continuously repeat until the same button is pressed again.
Delay – This sets the delay between every event items in a macro sequence to
the same value.
CREATING A MACRO
This section will explain how to create a macro using the n52te Editor
software.
1. Click “New” button to create a new macro.
2. To give it a name, type it into the “Macro Name” field under the “Available
Macros” list.
3. To define a different repeat behavior, select it from the “Repeat Mode”
drop-down menu. Note: The default repeat behavior is “Repeat Once”.
4. Click on the “Record” button to start recording keyboard events.
5. Using the keyboard, type in the keystroke combination of the macro you
want to create. This will normally be linking spells to create a new combo,
or phrases, such as “cover me”that you would send to your teammates.
Notice the keys you press and release are recorded in the “Macro
Definition” list.
6. You can give the new macro a name by typing it in the “Macro Name” field
under the “Available Macros” list.
DEVICE
The Device pane provides information on the connectivity status of the n52te,
the firmware revision, the version of the n52te Editor software, and allows you
to set the polling frequency.
Firmware Version – This displays the firmware version of the n52te currently
connected to your Mac.
Software Version – This displays the version of the n52te Editor software currently installed.
Polling Frequency – Sets the polling rate to: 125Hz, 500Hz, or 1000Hz.
Connectivity – This graphical display shows whether the n52te is currently
connected.
7. If you wish to manually insert keystrokes or mouse buttons, you can do so
with the “Add Button” function.
8. If you wish to manually set delays between each key press, you can do so
with the “Insert Delay” button.
9. If you wish to manually remove items in the macro sequence, you can do
so with the “Remove” button.
10. If you are finished editing your macro, go back to the Profiles pane and
your new macro will automatically be saved.
11. Your newly created macro is now assigned to the n52te button you have
chosen.

default, your n52te will utilize the following functions:
1. Tab D-pad directions are the keyboard’s arrow keys.
2. Q Thumb pad is the “Space” key.
3. W Thumb button is the “ALT” key.
4. E Scroll wheel emulates a standard-mouse scroll wheel with
a third mouse click.
5. R
6. CAPS
7. A
8. S
9. D

15. SPACE BAR
If you have any problems using the n52te or Editor software, simply click
“Online Support” for the latest software, firmware, community forums, or to
contact Belkin’s technical support team.
This configuration works well with the default keyboard setup of most firstperson shooter games.
Thumb-stick
The n52te comes equipped with a removable thumb-stick for customized
control of the 8-way DPad. Simply pull the thumb-stick up away from the
DPad to remove it if preferred.
Palm Rest Adjustment
The n52te is designed to adapt to hands of different sizes. There are three
different hand-size adjustments that can be made to the palm rest in order to
help you easily reach all of the n52te’s buttons and keys.
1. For average-sized hands, no adjustment is necessary. The n52te’s palm
rest comes configured for the average-sized hand.
2. For large hands, you can easily increase the distance between the palm
rest and the main keys. Simply pull the palm rest straight up away from the
n52te’s main chassis until it pops free. On the chassis you will see two sets
of holes. Then reinsert the palm rest into the holes farthest from the main
keys and snap it down firmly.
3. For small hands, you can simply remove the palm rest completely for
easier access to the n52te’s buttons.
