Case CATalyst

⚠️ Important: Case CATalyst requires your keyboard to be in TX Bolt mode.

By default, both the Stenoob Pro 3 and Stenoob Pro 4 start in Gemini PR mode.

To switch to TX Bolt, follow the Toggle Protocol guide before continuing.

After switching protocols:

• Pro 3: The LED will blink rapidly for 5 seconds to indicate TX Bolt, then return to a solid green status LED.

• Pro 4: Purple = Gemini PR • Green = TX Bolt

Notes

⚠️ Protocol

Case CATalyst requires the keyboard to be in TX Bolt mode. If your keyboard is still using the default Gemini PR mode, see the Toggle Protocol guide.

⚠️ General

Only one application can access the COM port at a time. Close other steno software (such as Plover) before connecting to Case CATalyst.
