5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning the Keyboard

Regular cleaning helps maintain the keyboard's performance and appearance:

• Keycaps: Use a keycap puller to remove keycaps. Clean them with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly before reattaching.
• Chassis: Wipe the keyboard surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture.
• Between Keycaps: Use compressed air to remove dust and debris from between the switches.

5.2 Keycap and Switch Replacement

The Qsenn Dt35 features ABS keycaps. If you wish to replace keycaps or switches (if hot-swappable), use appropriate tools to avoid damage.

Important Note on Switches: Before installing switches, ensure the pins are straight and align correctly with the PCB sockets. Do not force switches, as this can bend or break the pins or damage the PCB. Switches are not eligible for service (AS) for individual variations or lubrication status, only for operational errors.

5.3 Battery Care

For optimal battery life, avoid fully discharging the keyboard frequently. If storing for an extended period, charge the battery to about 50% and store in a cool, dry place.

• Move the keyboard closer to your device to reduce interference.

6.3 Keys Not Registering or Double-Typing
