Utilize the FN key in combination with the F1-F12 keys for quick access to multimedia and system functions, providing a more convenient user experience.

5.3 Backlighting Control

The keyboard features white backlighting for the keys and dynamic double flank RGB streamer strips. Specific key combinations (often involving FN + arrow keys or other designated keys) are typically used to cycle through lighting modes, adjust brightness, or change colors. Refer to the keyboard's dedicated lighting keys or consult the manufacturer's website for advanced lighting customization software, if available.

5.4 Ergonomic Design

The keyboard's ergonomic high and low key layout, combined with a curved design, is engineered to provide a more comfortable typing experience, reducing strain during prolonged use.

6. Maintenance

6.1 General Cleaning

• Disconnect the keyboard from your computer before cleaning.
• Use a can of compressed air to blow out dust and debris from between the keycaps.
• Wipe the keycaps and keyboard surface with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid excessive moisture.
• For stubborn stains, a small amount of isopropyl alcohol on a cloth can be used.
• Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the keycaps or finish.

6.2 Keycap and Switch Replacement (Hot-Plug Feature)

The TK870 features a full key hot-plug design, allowing you to easily change switches without soldering, offering the fun of customized typing.

1. Removing Keycaps: Use the provided keycap puller to gently pull up on the keycap you wish to remove.
2. Removing Switches: Once the keycap is removed, use a switch puller (not explicitly mentioned as included, but implied by hot-plug) to carefully unclip and pull out the switch.
3. Installing Switches: Align the pins of the new switch with the holes on the PCB. Press down firmly until the switch clicks into place. Ensure the pins are not bent.
4. Installing Keycaps: Place the desired keycap onto the switch stem and press down gently until it is secure.

Note: The PBT keycaps are designed to be durable and resist oil, maintaining their uniform and bright color over time. The side-engraved keycaps also feature light transmission for enhanced personality.

7. Troubleshooting

• Keyboard not responding:
  • Ensure the USB cable is securely connected in wired mode.
  • For 2.4G wireless, check if the receiver is plugged in and the keyboard is powered on.
  • For Bluetooth, ensure the keyboard is paired and within range. Try re-pairing if necessary.
  • Check the keyboard's power switch and battery level (for wireless modes).
  • Try connecting the keyboard to a different USB port or computer to rule out port/computer issues.
• Keys not registering or double-typing:
  • Clean around the affected key with compressed air.
  • If using the hot-plug feature, try removing and re-seating the switch for the problematic key.
  • Consider replacing the switch if the issue persists.
• Backlighting not working:
  • Ensure the keyboard is powered on.
  • Check if backlighting is turned off or set to minimum brightness via FN key combinations.
  • If using wireless mode, low battery might affect lighting performance.
• Wireless connection unstable:
  • Move the keyboard closer to the receiver/device.
  • Ensure there are no major obstructions or sources of interference (e.g., other wireless devices, large metal objects).
  • Try using a different USB port for the 2.4G receiver.
