• Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution to wipe the keycaps and chassis.
• For dust and debris between keycaps, use compressed air.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasives, or solvents, as these can damage the keyboard's finish or keycap legends.

6.2. Switch Replacement (Hot-Swap)

The X82PRO HE features hot-swappable magnetic switches. If you wish to replace a switch:

1. Gently remove the keycap using a keycap puller.
2. Use a switch puller to carefully extract the magnetic switch from the PCB.
3. Align the pins of the new north-pole-down magnetic switch with the holes on the PCB and press firmly until it clicks into place.
4. Reattach the keycap.

7. Troubleshooting

• Keyboard not responding: Ensure the keyboard is charged (if wireless), correctly connected (wired), or properly paired (2.4GHz/Bluetooth). Check the mode selection switch.
• Keys not registering: Try cleaning around the affected key. If using hot-swappable switches, ensure the switch is fully seated.
• Backlight issues: Use the 'Fn' key combinations to adjust brightness or mode. If the issue persists, try resetting the keyboard (refer to web driver for specific reset options if available).
• Wireless connectivity problems: Ensure the 2.4GHz receiver is plugged in or Bluetooth is enabled on your device. Move closer to the receiver/device to reduce interference.
