6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your keyboard, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the keyboard surface. For deeper cleaning, you can use a can of compressed air to remove dust and debris from between the keycaps. For stubborn stains, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, ensuring no liquid enters the keyboard.
- Keycap Removal: If you need to clean under the keycaps or replace them, use a keycap puller to gently remove them. Avoid pulling too hard to prevent damage to the switches.
- Storage: Store the keyboard in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Battery Care: For models with a built-in battery, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge it regularly to maintain battery health.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your keyboard, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Keyboard not responding (Wired) | Ensure the USB Type-C cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and the computer. Try a different USB port or cable. |
| Keyboard not responding (2.4G Wireless) | Check if the keyboard is in 2.4G mode. Ensure the wireless receiver is plugged in. Re-pair the keyboard by pressing FN + 4 until the cyan light flashes, then insert the receiver. Ensure the battery is charged. |
| Keyboard not responding (Bluetooth) | Ensure the keyboard is in Bluetooth mode and the correct BT channel (FN+1/2/3) is selected. Check your device's Bluetooth settings to ensure it's paired. Re-pair if necessary. Ensure the battery is charged. |
| RGB backlight not working | Ensure the keyboard is sufficiently charged. Cycle through backlight modes using FN + V. Note that the standard MINI60 version does not have RGB backlight. |
| Keyboard enters power saving mode too quickly | This is normal behavior. Tap ESC (or any key in full-key wake-up mode) to wake it up. |
| Keys feel inconsistent or sticky | Clean around and under the affected keycaps. If the issue persists, it might be related to the magnetic axis calibration; consider using the online drive software for adjustment if available. |
8. User Tips
- Customization: Explore the online drive software (if available) to customize key bindings, macros, and RGB lighting effects to personalize your gaming experience.
- Battery Life: To maximize wireless battery life, consider turning off the RGB lighting when not needed, as it significantly impacts endurance.
- Magnetic Axis Adjustment: For advanced users, the magnetic axis allows for fine-tuning of trigger points. Experiment with settings to find your preferred actuation for different games.
