changIng KeYsets
The most prominent feature of the SteelSeries Shift Keyboard is that it allows for keysets to be swapped depending on
the situation (i.e. what game is being played). To remove a keyset, unhinge the lock on the right side of the keyboard
by pulling it upwards.
To replace a keyset, insert it starting from the left side, and place each section until it lines up smoothly with the
keyboard base. Snap in the lock on the right hand side to ensure that the keyset is firmly and securely placed in.
Keep in mind that profiles are keyset-specific and are unique for every keyset. (see Profile Management, page 7).
