Introduction
The G.SKILL Unified Driver System is the
soſtware system that allows full control
of macros, lighꢁng effects, and various
customizaꢁons for your Ripjaws KM780
RGB mechanical gaming keyboard.
– Key:
Refers to the keyboard input. Each key
may have its own default funcꢁon,
or it can be programmed to have
a customized funcꢁon through the
soſtware system.
To help you through this manual, here are
some useful key terms to keep in mind:
– Macro:
A powerful funcꢁon that allows you
to execute a series of key presses with
the press of a designated key.
– Profile:
A full collecꢁon of seꢀngs and modes.
Each profile has its own unique list of
modes.
To open the G.SKILL Unified Driver System,
go to the system tray and double click on
the G.SKILL icon.
– Mode:
A single complete layout of key
seꢀngs, keyboard seꢀngs, and
lighꢁng effects. A single profile
supports up to three modes, which
can be stored in the on-board memory
of your keyboard.
You are now ready to begin.
