7. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your AULA MINI 60HE keyboard, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Avoid Liquids: Keep liquids away from the keyboard to prevent damage to internal components. In case of accidental spills, immediately disconnect the keyboard and allow it to dry completely before reconnecting.
  • Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the keyboard in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

    • Restart: Try restarting your computer or device.
    • Wake-up: Press ESC or FN+ESC to wake the keyboard from power-saving mode.

  • Keys not working or double-typing:
    • Clean: Remove the keycap and clean any debris around the switch.
    • Switch replacement: If the issue persists and you have hot-swappable switches, try replacing the faulty switch.
  • RGB lighting problems:
    • Check settings: Ensure lighting is enabled and configured correctly via FN key combinations or the driver software.
    • Software: Reinstall or update the keyboard driver software.

9. User Tips

  • Console Compatibility: While primarily designed for PC, some users have reported success using the keyboard with gaming consoles like the PS5 via wired or 2.4G wireless connection. However, full functionality (e.g., custom keybinds, advanced RGB control) may require PC software.
  • Magnetic Switch Adjustment: Experiment with the magnetic switch actuation point settings in the driver software to find your preferred sensitivity for different games or typing tasks.
  • Battery Management: For optimal battery life, remember to switch off the RGB lighting when not needed, especially during long wireless sessions.
