3.1 Dynamic Key Range Adjustment and Customization
The magnetic switches allow for precise adjustment of actuation points. This feature is crucial for competitive gaming, enabling faster response times or preventing accidental key presses.

- Implement TGL (Toggle): Toggle functions on/off with a single key press.
- Program Macro Buttons: Create complex sequences of commands for gaming or productivity.

3.2 Backlight Control
The keyboard features a MULTICOLOR backlight. Specific key combinations (usually Fn + a designated key) are used to cycle through different lighting modes, adjust brightness, and change colors. Refer to the keyboard's quick start guide or software for exact key combinations.
3.3 Hot-swappable Switches
The AK820Max allows you to easily change switches without soldering. Use the provided switch puller to carefully remove existing switches and insert new compatible 3-pin or 5-pin switches. Ensure the new switch pins align correctly with the PCB sockets before pressing down.
4. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the lifespan and performance of your keyboard.
4.1 Cleaning
- Keycaps: Use a keycap puller to remove keycaps. Clean them with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly before reattaching. For surface cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth.
- Keyboard Body: Wipe the keyboard body with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Switches: Use compressed air to remove dust and debris from around and under the switches.
Caution: Do not spray cleaning solutions directly onto the keyboard. Always ensure the keyboard is disconnected from power before cleaning.
4.2 Storage
When not in use, store the keyboard in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) to preserve battery health.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Ajazz AK820Max keyboard, refer to the following common solutions.
5.1 Connectivity Issues

- 2.4Ghz Wireless Not Connecting:
- Ensure the 2.4Ghz receiver is plugged in and the keyboard is in 2.4Ghz mode.
- Try plugging the receiver into a different USB port.
- Move the keyboard closer to the receiver to rule out interference.

- Software Interference: If using customization software, try disabling it temporarily to see if it resolves the issue.
- Firmware Update: Check the official Ajazz website for any available firmware updates for your keyboard model.
5.3 Backlight Issues

5.4 Factory Reset
If all else fails, performing a factory reset can often resolve persistent issues. The method for factory reset varies by model; typically, it involves holding down a specific key combination (e.g., Fn + Esc) for several seconds.
