Drag-and-Drop Function Binding
Open the software interface and drag functions (e.g., "Hotkey," "Open App") onto virtual buttons.
Configure parameters:
Hotkeys: Assign single keys (e.g., A) or combos (e.g., Ctrl+C).
Functions: Set the executable path (e.g., OBS, Word).
Macros: Record multi-step actions (e.g., batch file processing).
.
Icon & Label Customization
Right-click a button → "Change Icon" → upload local images (static&GIF).
Toggle "Show Title" for icon-only mode or edit labels (e.g., "Stream Toggle").
2. Advanced Functionality
Toggle State Configuration
• For buttons requiring two states (e.g., light switches), enable "Hotkey Toggle" mode:
• Assign separate icons/commands for press and release actions
• Example: With audio plugins, single-tap cycling between input/output devices
Smart Profile Auto-Switching
• Create dedicated profiles (e.g., "Streaming Mode", "Work Mode") with app-triggered activation:
• OBS launch → instantly loads streaming shortcuts (Go Live, PiP, virtual camera controls)
• Discord/Facebook in focus → activates productivity shortcuts (quick replies, channel switching)
Knob & Screen Customization
• Knobs: Native support for volume&brightness&mouse control&Hotkey(
Game&App integration via customizable hotkeys)
• Pro Features: Expand capabilities through plugins (e.g., smart home API control)
3. DIY & Open-Source Solutions
Hardware Customization

• Swap out knobs with compatible third-party replacements for enhanced functionality
Plugin Development
