CHERRY UTILITY
CHERRY UTILITY is free Windows software for customizing compatible CHERRY input devices.
What CHERRY UTILITY is
CHERRY UTILITY is free Windows software for customizing compatible CHERRY input devices. Users can assign shortcuts, text modules, macros, and actions for opening files, folders, programs, or websites, as well as configure multimedia controls. It also lets users combine colors and lighting effects into a custom lighting concept. On compatible scroll wheels, ProScroll exposes seven adjustable parameters and roughly 288 million possible combinations. Settings are saved directly to the input device, so the software does not need to remain active in the background. Compatibility is limited to CHERRY products intended for the utility, with supported devices identified on each product page; CHERRY recommends CHERRY KEYS for devices that are not supported. The page provides a Windows x32 installer, version 3.12, and a separate release-notes link. CHERRY also provides a downloads center and contact link in its support navigation. CHERRY is headquartered in Auerbach, Germany, and says its corporation was founded by Walter Lorain Cherry in 1953.
