3.3 Keyboard Structure Overview
4. Setup Guide
4.1 Initial Charging
Before first use, ensure the keyboard is adequately charged. The keyboard interface is based on the USB protocol, and the rated charging voltage is 5V. It is recommended to use a computer's USB port for charging. Avoid using other fast charging products, as this may risk damage to the keyboard.
4.2 Connecting Your Keyboard
The VK Mag 75 supports three connection modes: Wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4Ghz Wireless.
- Wired Connection: Connect the keyboard directly to your computer using the provided USB cable. This mode offers the lowest latency and ensures stable power.
- Bluetooth Connection: Refer to your computer's or device's Bluetooth settings to pair the keyboard. The keyboard will typically enter pairing mode when switched to Bluetooth and not connected to a previously paired device.
- 2.4Ghz Wireless Connection: Plug the 2.4Ghz USB receiver (if included) into your computer. The keyboard should automatically connect.
4.3 Driver and Software Installation
For full functionality and customization, including RT adjustment and dynamic key stroke settings, it is recommended to install the dedicated driver software. You can download the latest driver from the official VALKYRIE website:

5. Operation
5.1 Basic Key Functions
The VK Mag 75 features a standard 78-key layout. Familiarize yourself with the key positions and any secondary functions accessible via the 'Fn' key (if applicable to your model).
5.2 RGB Lighting Control
The keyboard features a MULTICOLOR backlight. Specific key combinations (often involving the 'Fn' key and arrow keys or dedicated lighting keys) can be used to cycle through lighting modes, adjust brightness, and change colors. Refer to the software for advanced customization.
5.3 RT Adjustment (Actuation Point)
The magnetic switches allow for a customizable actuation point (RT adjustment) within the range of 0.01mm to 3.50mm. This feature is typically configured via the dedicated driver software, allowing you to fine-tune the sensitivity of each key to your preference for gaming or typing.
5.4 Dynamic Key Stroke (DKS, MT, TGL, Snap Key)
The VK Mag 75 supports advanced dynamic key stroke functionalities such as DKS (Dynamic Key Stroke), MT (Macro Trigger), TGL (Toggle), and Snap Key. These features allow for complex key bindings and rapid actions, which are configurable through the VALKYRIE software. Consult the software's user interface for detailed setup instructions for these functions.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning Instructions
- General Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the keyboard surface. For dust and debris between keycaps, use compressed air.
- Keycap Cleaning: Keycaps can be carefully removed (using a keycap puller, if available) and cleaned with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching.
- Switch Cleaning: If switches are removed, use a soft brush or compressed air to clean any dust from the switch sockets.
