Great keyboard but terrible instructions. WATCH THIS REVIEW TO LOVE ABOUT LED FUNCTION SETTINGS / GHOST PROTECTION!

After playing with this keyboard for a day, I found that I figured out all the functions of the LEDs, including user input and full protection against ghosting. CUSTOM RECORDING LED=== If you notice, FN + INS cycles through different lighting settings, including one that lights up the arrow keys, WASD, and the ESC key. This is actually the first of 8 different random LED settings that can be accessed by pressing FN + 1 through 8. They have no obvious rhyme or reason, so let's ignore them. If you want to write custom LEDs, you want to use FN+9 and FN+0 which are empty at first glance. Only then will the instructions to press FN + END to start/stop recording actually work. You'll find this works with 3 indicators next to your arrow keys flashing blue during the capture phase. FN + ESC removes your custom LEDs and completely resets the keyboard. They labeled FN+PRTSC as "6-key anti-conflict" - and while that's true, it doesn't give you FULL protection from ghosting. To access it you have to press FN + SCRLK. Also note that FN + ESC resets your anti-ghost to 6. MISC === In addition to these functions, activate FN + DEL, FN + HOME, FN + PGUP and FN + PGDN additional LED settings. The FN+LEFT and FN+RIGHT arrow keys slow down/increase the speed at which the backlight turns on. The arrow keys FN+DOWN and FN+UP adjust the brightness.

FULL ANTI-CALL === The instructions here are even more confusing as they have FN+PRTSC labeled "6-key anti-conflict" - and while this is actually true, it doesn't give you FULL protection from ghosting .
