7. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your AULA AU75 keyboard, follow these maintenance guidelines:

- Storage: Store the keyboard in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Liquid Exposure: Avoid spilling liquids on the keyboard. If a spill occurs, immediately disconnect the keyboard, turn it upside down to drain, and allow it to dry completely before reconnecting.
- Hot-Swappable Switches: When replacing switches, ensure they are aligned correctly with the PCB sockets to prevent damage.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your keyboard, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Keyboard not responding:
- Ensure the keyboard is charged.
- Check the connection mode switch (2.4G, BT, Wired) is set correctly.
- For 2.4G/Bluetooth, ensure the receiver is properly inserted or Bluetooth is enabled and paired. Try re-pairing if necessary.
- For wired connection, ensure the Type-C cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and the computer.
- Try connecting the keyboard to a different USB port or computer to rule out port/computer issues.
- Keys not registering or double-typing:
- Clean under the affected keycap to remove any debris.
- If using hot-swappable switches, ensure the switch is fully seated in its socket. You may try removing and reinserting it.
- Consider replacing the switch if the issue persists (due to hot-swappable design).
- RGB lighting not working or incorrect:
- Ensure the keyboard is sufficiently charged.
- Use FN key combinations (FN+Tab, FN+E, FN+R/T) to cycle through lighting modes, colors, and brightness.
- Reset the keyboard to factory settings (FN+ESC) if customization issues persist.
- Bluetooth connection unstable:
- Ensure the keyboard is within range of your device.
- Minimize interference from other wireless devices.
- Try unpairing and re-pairing the keyboard with your device.
9. User Tips
