Setup Guide
1. Powering the Keyboard
The Freewolf K68 keyboard requires two AAA batteries for operation. Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the keyboard, insert the batteries, and ensure the power switch is in the 'ON' position.
2. Connecting the Keyboard
The K68 supports two wireless connection modes: 2.4G Wireless and Bluetooth 5.0.
2.1. 2.4G Wireless Connection
- Locate the USB+Type-C dual-use receiver.
- Plug the receiver into an available USB port on your computer or device.
- Ensure the keyboard's mode switch (located on the underside, near the battery compartment) is set to 2.4G mode.
- The keyboard should automatically connect.
2.2. Bluetooth 5.0 Connection
- Ensure the keyboard's mode switch is set to Bluetooth mode.
- On your device (PC, laptop, tablet, smartphone), enable Bluetooth and search for new devices.
- The keyboard should appear as 'Freewolf K68' or similar. Select it to pair.
- If prompted, enter the pairing code displayed on your screen using the K68 keyboard.
Operating Instructions
1. Switching Connection Modes
Use the physical switch on the underside of the keyboard to toggle between 2.4G wireless and Bluetooth modes. For Bluetooth, you may need to re-pair if switching between different devices.
2. Key Functions
The K68 features a standard 68-key layout. Some keys may have secondary functions accessible via the 'Fn' key. Refer to the keycap legends for specific combinations (e.g., Fn + F1-F12 for media controls or system functions).
3. Hot-Swappable Switches
The K68 keyboard supports hot-swappable mechanical switches, allowing you to change switches without soldering. This enables customization of typing feel and sound. Use the provided switch puller (if included) to carefully remove and insert switches.
4. Ergonomic Design
The keyboard is designed with a 'golden angle' for comfortable wrist positioning during extended use, reducing strain.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning
- Turn off the keyboard before cleaning.
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with a small amount of water or isopropyl alcohol to wipe down the keycaps and chassis.
- For deeper cleaning, keycaps can be removed using a keycap puller (not included) and washed gently. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching.
- Use compressed air to remove dust and debris from between the keys.
2. Battery Replacement
When the keyboard's performance degrades or it stops responding, it may be time to replace the AAA batteries. Follow the instructions in the 'Powering the Keyboard' section to replace them.
3. Storage
When not in use for extended periods, turn off the keyboard and store it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
1. Keyboard Not Responding
- Ensure the keyboard is turned on and the batteries are not depleted.
- Check the connection mode switch (2.4G or Bluetooth) matches your intended connection.
- For 2.4G: Ensure the USB receiver is securely plugged into your device. Try a different USB port.
- For Bluetooth: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the keyboard is paired. Try re-pairing the keyboard.
- Move the keyboard closer to the receiver/device to rule out range issues.
2. Keys Not Registering or Double-Typing
- Clean around the affected keys to remove any debris.
- If using hot-swappable switches, carefully remove and re-insert the switch for the problematic key to ensure it's seated correctly.
- Consider replacing the switch if the issue persists.
3. Intermittent Connection
- Ensure there are no strong sources of interference (e.g., other wireless devices, large metal objects) between the keyboard and your device/receiver.
- Try connecting via the other wireless mode (e.g., if Bluetooth is unstable, try 2.4G).
- Update your device's Bluetooth drivers if applicable.
User Tips
- Battery Life: To maximize battery life, remember to turn off the keyboard when not in use for extended periods.
- Switch Customization: Experiment with different hot-swappable switches to find your preferred typing feel for gaming or productivity.
- Keycap Care: While PBT keycaps are durable, avoid harsh chemicals when cleaning to preserve their texture and legends.
- Dual Connectivity: Utilize the dual-mode feature to quickly switch between your desktop PC (2.4G) and a tablet or smartphone (Bluetooth) for seamless workflow.
