Trackpad

Designed to allow for intense game-play on the go, the Switchblade UI performs as well as it looks. Programmed with a host of multi-touch gestures, the Trackpad gives gamers the edge they need in high-pressure situations.

You can also customize the look of your Switchblade User Interface by creating one-click links to your keys to launch any type of program, each with their respective logo lit up in all its LCD glory. These 10 Dynamic Adaptive Tactile keys can be fully customized for an entirely new way of playing the games you love. Each key is fully programmable to accommodate to your infinite commands, skills and macros.

This application allows the Switchblade User Interface to be used as a standard pointing device and numerical keys. The Trackpad Application supports multi-touch gestures for advanced trackpad functionalities.

Listed below are the multi-touch gestures for the Trackpad Application:

Finger Gestures


Numpad

Razer didn’t simply take out all those rarely used keys on the right side of the keyboard. Instead, the Switchblade UI contains a standard Numpad that’s available with the click of a button. You can also click Numlock on the track panel when the Numpad is displayed to dynamically change the app to a directional pad when necessary.

This application enables the Switchblade User Interface to be used as a standard numerical keypad or switch to its secondary function by toggling the Numlock key.

Macro Recording

The Macro Recorder app gives you a visual platform to effortlessly record your on-the-fly macros while in-game. Scroll through the list to review your keystrokes and delays, and assign a newly created macro directly to any key on the keyboard.

This application allows you to record a set of key presses and combinations. After launching the application, the Switchblade User Interface will change into a Macro Recording Screen.

By default, the Record Delay will register the delays in-between keystrokes and buttons presses as it is entered. Deselecting the Record Delay will omit all the pauses in-between keystrokes and button presses.

To create a macro, simply press the key. All keystrokes and button presses herein will automatically be recorded on the macro screen.

Once you have entered your macro commands, press the key to end recording.

Press the key to save the session or press the key to discard it. After choosing to save the session, you will be prompted to save the macro onto a key.

You may save it to a regular key or to the currently active set of Dynamic Adaptive Tactile Keys. A prompt will appear once you have successfully saved the macro.

Gaming Mode

Tired of throwing a game just because you accidentally hit the Windows key? The Gaming Mode app disables the Windows key by default when toggled on. You can also choose to disable the Alt-Tab and Alt-F4 commands, so you’ll never have to worry about hitting the wrong keys in the midst of pwning again.

After launching the application, the Switchblade User Interface will change into the Gaming Mode Options Screen. You may choose to disable/enable the Windows key by toggling the Gaming Mode On/Off. You may also choose to disable other keys during Gaming Mode by selecting the appropriate box.
