General
On what operating systems does it work?
Mac OS and Windows.
Do I need a virtual machine to be able to use this keyboard?
No, all the software we provide is intended to run on your computer's operating system without the use of a virtual machine (VM). Please message the customer support team if you encounter any problems. The support team will assist you in resolving the issue.
Which trading platforms does this keyboard work with?
MetaTrader 4 & MetaTrader 5 are compatible. If you require the keyboard for other trading platforms, kindly request support for that specific platform through our customer support team.
Can I use it to trade cryptocurrencies, forex, indices, stocks, oil, gold, etc.?
Yes, the keyboard is not limited to a specific instrument. You can utilize it to trade any assets or instruments offered by your broker.
Does it work on my smartphone or tablet?
No, it only functions on a laptop or desktop operating with Mac OS or Windows.
Can I use it with MT4 or MT5 mobile?
No, the software of the mobile versions is quite limited, which means it cannot be utilized with the mobile app versions.
How do I charge it?
You can charge it using the provided USB-C cable.
How do I connect it?
You have two options for connecting it to your PC. The first option is using Bluetooth, and the second one involves using the provided USB receiver. Additionally, please verify if your PC has Bluetooth capability if you intend to connect via Bluetooth. Choose the method that best suits your preference.
How do I toggle between the two ways of connecting the keyboard with my PC?
Press and hold the toggle connection button for approximately 5 seconds until the Bluetooth indicator light on the keyboard begins to pulse. This indicates that it has switched to the receiver or vice versa. You can perform the same steps when switching from the USB receiver to Bluetooth.
How do I determine if it is connected via Bluetooth or USB receiver?
You can determine the mode by checking if the keyboard responds when you press a button with the USB receiver plugged in. If there's no response, it indicates that the keyboard is in Bluetooth mode. To connect via Bluetooth, access your PC's Bluetooth connection settings and connect with the keyboard.
Why is there software that I need to install?
The software creates a "direct tunnel" for transmitting key presses to the trading software. Without the software, the actions would be overly sensitive; they might not reach the trading software due to a different window being in focus, for instance. Furthermore, the software facilitates a streamlined development process for adding support to other trading platforms.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept various payment methods, including credit/debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express), PayPal, and other popular online payment options. You can choose the payment method that's most convenient for you during the checkout process on our store.
