Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain the performance and appearance of your keyboard:
- Disconnect the keyboard from your computer before cleaning.
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution to wipe the keycaps and chassis.
- For stubborn dirt or debris between keycaps, use the provided keycap puller to remove keycaps and clean with compressed air or a small brush.
- Ensure the keyboard is completely dry before reconnecting it.
Switch Replacement
The AK680 V2 features hot-swappable switches. To replace a switch:
- Carefully remove the keycap using the keycap puller.
- Use the switch puller to gently grasp the switch and pull it straight up.
- Align the pins of the new switch with the holes on the PCB and press it firmly until it clicks into place.
- Reattach the keycap.
Troubleshooting
Keyboard Not Responding
- Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and the computer.
- Try connecting the keyboard to a different USB port on your computer.
- Test the keyboard on another computer to rule out a computer-specific issue.
- Restart your computer.
RGB Lighting Issues
- Check the keyboard software for lighting settings and ensure they are configured correctly.
- Ensure the keyboard firmware is up to date.
Keys Not Registering or Double-Typing
- Remove the keycap and switch for the affected key. Inspect for any debris or damage.
- Try replacing the switch with one of the spare switches provided or a known working switch.
- Ensure the switch is fully seated in the PCB.
High Polling Rate Causing Performance Issues (for weaker CPUs)
If you experience performance issues or stuttering, especially with a weaker CPU, the 8K polling rate might be too demanding. You can adjust the polling rate to a lower setting (e.g., 1000 Hz) using the keyboard's dedicated software. Refer to the software's guide for instructions on changing the polling rate.
