Maintenance
1. Cleaning the Keyboard

- For Bluetooth, ensure it's paired and selected (Fn + 1/2/3). Try re-pairing.
- Try a different USB port or cable.
- RGB lighting not working or incorrect:
- Ensure the keyboard is powered on.
- Check lighting settings via Fn key combinations.
- Use the web driver software to diagnose and adjust lighting profiles.
- Keys not registering or ghosting:
- The keyboard features 100% anti-ghosting and N-key rollover, so this should be rare.
- Ensure no debris is under the keycap or switch.
- If a specific key is faulty, consider hot-swapping the switch.
- Test with a wired connection to rule out wireless interference.
- Web driver software not detecting keyboard:
- Ensure the keyboard is connected via USB-C or 2.4G wireless (Bluetooth is not supported for web driver).
