7. Maintenance
7.1 Cleaning the Keyboard
- Disconnect the keyboard from your computer before cleaning.
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution to wipe the keycaps and keyboard surface.
- For deeper cleaning, keycaps can be carefully removed (using a keycap puller, if available) and cleaned separately.
- Use compressed air to remove dust and debris from between the keys.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or spraying liquids directly onto the keyboard.
7.2 Storing the Keyboard
When not in use, store the keyboard in a dry, cool place. The detachable Type-C cable allows for convenient storage and reduces wear on the cable and port.
8. Troubleshooting
- Keyboard not responding: Ensure the Type-C cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and the computer. Try connecting to a different USB port or a different computer to rule out port issues.
- Keys not registering: Check for any physical obstructions under the keycap. If the keyboard is hot-swappable, ensure the switch is properly seated.
- Backlight not working: Verify that the backlight is turned on using the FN + INS key combination. Adjust brightness using FN + ↑.
- Multimedia knob not working: Ensure the keyboard is properly connected. Test media playback with other controls to confirm the issue is specific to the knob.
9. User Tips
- Experiment with the different height adjustments to find the most comfortable typing angle for extended use.
- Utilize the various backlight modes to match your mood or gaming environment.
