I own a Drop CSTM80 Mechanical keyboard. It’s pretty sweet TKL keyboard.
I was worried I would lose the piece of paper in the box that explains the Drop CST80M default hot keys. Rather than run that risk, typing them up here so I always have them, and you, internet traveler, has them too.
Here is your list of default hot keys for the Drop CSTM80 so you can customize the LEDs and more.
LED KEYS
Hold Fn key + listed key to activate
- W – LED Brightness Increase
- S – LED Brightness Decrease
- E – LED Animation Speed Increase
- D – LED Animation Speed Decrease
- R – LED Hue Increase/ Next Color Mode (when in Mono)
- F – LED Hue Decrease
- T – LED Saturation Increase
- G – LED Saturation Decrease
- Q – LED Toggle On/Off
- A – LED Animation Toggle
- Z – LED Mono Color Mode
- X – LED Breathing Effect
- C – LED Rainbow Mode
- V – LED Pinwheel Mode
MISC = CONTROLS
Hold ESC before connecting USB – Boot Magic, Clear EEPROM and reboot in Bootloader.
KEYBOARD OPTION KEYS
- Fn + N – Toggle Keyboard (6KRO/NKRO, default is 6KRO)
- Fn + Left Ctrl + O – Windows / MacOS Swap
- Left Ctrl + |\ – LCtrl / Capslock Swap
- Left Ctrl + Backspace – Reset Keyboard
CUSTOM FIRMWARE
The Custom Firmware CSTM configurator can be found here.
That said, if you’re a Windows user, this web-based VIA keyboard customization tool is very good.
Hope this helps someone else!
