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.
