Customize and control
From expanding a browser window to switching between browser tabs, the Razer Command Dial has eight preset modes. You can also schedule a day with up to 100 custom modes, mapping the day’s actions to the desired actions clockwise or counterclockwise. For everyday use, you can schedule various application shortcuts, such as resizing brushes in Photoshop and scrolling the timeline. Each mode can be changed with a single click from the command line, and is easily identifiable by the wheel’s coloured backlighting.
Five macro keys, all programmable via Razer Synapse 3, are located on the left side of the keyboard and can be used to perform complex actions such as recording macros on the fly. There are also three macro keys along the edge of the keyboard, making a total of eight macro keys comfortably placed on the keyboard.
