- Press and hold/click (MT): A single key performs two functions: one when held, another when clicked.
- Toggle Switch (TGL): Customize a key to trigger continuously when clicked, or activate normal function when held.
- SOCD Function: Bind two keys; the later-pressed key forces the release of the previous key, ensuring only one key is triggered.
- Quick Trigger Function (RT): Dynamically adjusts trigger and reset stroke based on press/release intention.
- Visualized Fast Magnetic Switch Travel Calibration: Available in the driver.
- Real-Time Detection of Visualized Magnetic Switch Travel: Available in the driver.
To calibrate magnetic switches: Access the driver software, start calibration, press each key until it lights up green, then save the calibration.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
To maintain the keyboard's performance and appearance, regularly clean the keycaps and chassis. Use a soft, dry cloth for general cleaning. For deeper cleaning, you can remove the PBT plastic keycaps (hot-swappable) and clean them separately. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
4.2 Battery Care
The keyboard features intelligent power saving algorithms to reduce battery consumption. To prolong battery life, ensure the keyboard is fully charged periodically. When not in use for extended periods, you may switch off the keyboard to conserve power. The keyboard also has a single-button wake-up mode; after one minute of no operation, click ESC to wake up. Full key wake-up mode can be switched using FN+ESC.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Magnetic Switch Calibration Issues
If you experience inconsistencies with magnetic switch actuation, perform a calibration through the driver software. Ensure each key is pressed firmly until it registers green in the software, then save the calibration.
5.2 Keyboard Unresponsive / Factory Reset
If the keyboard becomes unresponsive or you wish to revert all settings to default, perform a factory reset. Long press FN+ESC for 3 seconds to restore factory settings.
5.3 Connectivity Problems
- Wired: Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and the device. Try a different USB port or cable.
- 2.4G Wireless: Verify the USB receiver is properly inserted. Ensure the keyboard is in 2.4G mode. Re-pair if necessary by pressing FN+R.
