Gamdias Hermes Gaming Software

Taking a look at the Hera software, the graphical user interface includes plenty of options to go through. In the Key Assignment tab, you can assign a specific function to a key or assign a key to a new letter. Here you can record macros functions and save them into the G1 and G2 keys (B and space bar). You can also swap the Windows key and Fn key around and turn on Consecutive Mode. With Consecutive Mode, this allows all the keys on the keyboard to register several clicks every second just by holding them down.

In the Macro Management tab, you can create, record, and delete macros if we want. The Hera software does allow importing and duplicating macro settings for your convenience. Of course, you may fine tune the macros by slowing down, speeding up, and editing the delay.

There are six separate profile available to store different lighting effects. In static mode, you can create a static color with no effects for the entire keyboard layout. You can also adjust the brightness level from 0%, 30%, 60%, and 100%.

Custom pattern lighting lets you choose which keys to change. The Hermes M3 allows for individually colored keys, which provides flexibility for customization. You can create up to five different customized lighting modes and save them all in Picture No. With this feature, the keyboard allows for importing and exporting lighting profiles between different Gamdias compatible keyboards.

Sound and Timer allows you to assign a certain sound to a button. A few pre-recorded sound effects are available to choose from, but you may record or import your own sounds as well. The timer function can delay a sound to remind you to do something later. This feature can also be useful when changing profiles or recording macros.

You can also record your own sounds and save them to the software. The sounds will only work when the Hera software is running.

The Timer Setting tab allows you to create and modify reminders. You can create timers by dialing in the amount of days, hours, minutes, and seconds. Choose an alarm from a list of five presets, and type in something to remind you what alarm it is once it comes on. For example, you can type in “Remove pizza from oven” so you do not accidentally burn your lunch while gaming. You can also choose a font size and the position of the text on the screen.

In the next section, we will test the Hermes M3 to see how well it performs.
