MMO Mouse and Keypad Onboard Memory Guide
Corsair's Scimitar Elite Wireless SE and Razer's Naga V3 Pro describe onboard profiles. HORI lists up to eight profiles, so check where they are stored; Keychron lists setup software without an onboard profile count. Before switching PCs, review how each device saves and recalls the settings you need.
Corsair says customized settings can be stored back in onboard memory, and Razer lists its five profiles as onboard. For HORI, confirm where its eight profiles are stored. Keychron lists remapping software without an onboard profile count. Azeron says the Cyborg II stores up to six layouts on the keypad.

Mouse / 12 side buttons
Corsair Scimitar Elite Wireless SE
Corsair says three onboard profile slots hold predefined DPI settings, button assignments, and lighting effects. Its product and manual page says you can customize those settings in iCUE and store them back in onboard memory. The 12 side buttons default to 1 through 0, then - and =.
If you want the button assignments with you on another PC, follow Corsair's current save-to-memory steps. For organizing a WoW grid, see the WoW MMO mouse button layout guide.
Razer lists up to five onboard profiles, saved through Razer Synapse and swapped with the button at the base of the mouse. Its product page also lists up to 23 programmable buttons and 2-, 6-, and 12-button side plates.
Razer's support FAQ says this model is not supported in Razer Synapse for Mac. If Mac setup matters, read the MMO mouse guide for Mac alongside Razer's current compatibility details. For the purchase choice, compare the Naga V3 Pro with the Naga V2 Pro.
HORI says you can assign in-game functions to 21 keys and save up to eight profiles. Check its instructions to confirm the profiles are stored on the keypad before counting them as onboard memory.
The companion PC app configures stick and dead-zone settings, and HORI says the analog stick position can be adjusted for comfort and ergonomics. For an FFXIV button map, use the FFXIV gaming keypad setup guide.
Keychron lists QMK firmware and its Launcher web app for key remapping and macros, plus a rotary encoder knob and Milk POM switches. If you need the layout stored on the numpad, confirm that feature with Keychron before buying.
Keychron asks users to use the latest Chrome, Opera, or Edge for Launcher. If you are comparing a keypad workflow with a numpad, see the Tartarus Pro and Keychron K0 Max comparison.
Follow the vendor instructions for saving and recalling settings on the exact device you plan to use.
Treat “up to” figures as vendor-stated maximums. For HORI, confirm the storage location before counting those profiles as onboard.
Check which app or firmware configures the layout on the PC you plan to use. Razer names Synapse, and its support FAQ says the Naga V3 Pro is not supported in Synapse for Mac.
If on-device profiles are a requirement for the Keychron K0 Max, confirm storage with Keychron before buying.
Before moving a device to another PC, check how it saves and recalls your layout. A profile count alone does not tell you which settings move with it.
Common questions
Onboard profile questions
Use the vendor's wording to separate a saved profile from a setup app.
What does onboard memory mean for an MMO mouse or keypad?
Onboard memory means the vendor says profile settings are saved to the device. Before using a mouse or keypad on another PC, check how its software saves and recalls each profile; the profile count alone does not tell you which settings move with it.
How many profiles do these devices save?
Corsair lists three onboard slots and Razer lists up to five saved profiles. HORI lists up to eight; check its instructions to see whether they save to the keypad. Keychron lists QMK and Launcher but no onboard profile count. Azeron says the Cyborg II stores up to six layouts on the keypad.
Does the Razer Naga V3 Pro support Synapse on Mac?
Razer's support FAQ says the Naga V3 Pro is not supported in Razer Synapse for Mac. Its product page lists up to five profiles saved through Synapse. If you use a Mac, check Razer's current compatibility guidance before buying, because that profile workflow uses Synapse.
Does the Keychron K0 Max store onboard profiles?
Keychron lists QMK firmware and its Launcher web app for remapping and macros. If you need your layout to stay on the K0 Max when you move between PCs, ask Keychron how mappings are saved. Its product information does not list an onboard profile count.
Which software do the vendors name for setup?
Corsair names iCUE for customizing its settings; Razer names Synapse; HORI names its companion PC app for stick and dead-zone settings; and Keychron names QMK firmware with its Launcher web app. For K0 Max, Keychron asks users to use the latest Chrome, Opera, or Edge.
