1. General Cleaning
- To clean the keycaps, gently pull them off using the included keycap remover.
- Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust and debris from between the switches.
- Wipe the keycaps and keyboard surface with a damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
- Ensure the keyboard is powered off and disconnected before cleaning.
2. Hot-Swapping Switches and Keycaps
The AKS075 features hot-swappable switch sockets, allowing you to easily change switches without soldering. Use the provided two-in-one tool for both keycap and switch removal.

- Removing Keycaps: Use the keycap puller end of the tool to gently pry up the keycaps.
- Removing Switches: Use the switch puller end of the tool to grasp the switch firmly and pull it straight up.
- Installing Switches: Align the pins of the new switch with the holes on the PCB. Press down gently until the switch clicks into place. Ensure pins are not bent.
- Installing Keycaps: Place the keycap over the switch stem and press down firmly.
Troubleshooting
- Keyboard not responding:
- Check battery level on the TFT screen or connect via USB-C to charge.
- Ensure the connection mode switch (2.4G/BT/USB) is set correctly.
- For 2.4G, ensure the USB dongle is securely plugged in.
- For Bluetooth, ensure the keyboard is paired and your device's Bluetooth is enabled. Try re-pairing if necessary.
- Try connecting via USB-C cable to rule out wireless issues.
- RGB lighting not working or incorrect:
- Check lighting settings on the TFT screen.
- Ensure the driver software is installed and updated if you are using custom effects.
- Verify that the keyboard is not in a low-power mode that disables lighting.
- Keys not registering:
- If only specific keys are affected, try removing and re-inserting the switch for that key. The hot-swappable design allows for easy replacement if a switch is faulty.
- Ensure the keycap is properly seated on the switch.
- Lag or disconnection in wireless modes:
- Ensure the keyboard is within range of the receiver/device.
- Minimize interference from other wireless devices.
- For 2.4G, try plugging the dongle into a different USB port, preferably a USB 2.0 port or one closer to the keyboard.
User Tips
- Customizing Keycaps: The AKS075 uses standard keycap sizes for most keys, allowing for easy customization with aftermarket keycap sets. For the spacebar, note that the Alice layout typically uses two smaller spacebar keys instead of one large one.
- Driver Software: For the full range of RGB customization and macro programming, download and install the official AJAZZ driver software from their website. This unlocks advanced features beyond the on-board controls.
- Ergonomic Adjustment: Experiment with the two-stage footrest to find the most comfortable typing angle for your wrists. The Alice layout is designed to reduce strain, and proper height adjustment can further enhance this.
