AULA F99Max Custom Mechanical Keyboard User Manual

1. Introduction

The AULA F99Max is a versatile custom mechanical keyboard designed for both gaming and office use. It features a three-mode connection (2.4G wireless, Bluetooth, and wired USB), a gasket structure for a soft typing feel, full key hot-swappable switches for customization, and vibrant RGB backlighting. This manual provides detailed instructions for setting up, operating, maintaining, and troubleshooting your keyboard to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

2. Safety Information & Warning

Warning! Please read all safety instructions carefully before using the product to avoid personal injury, property loss or product damage.

• Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the keyboard yourself. This will void the warranty and may cause safety hazards such as short circuits. For key switch issues, contact after-sales service.
• Keep the keyboard away from water, moisture, high-temperature environments (e.g., near stoves, heaters), and open flames. Even if the keyboard has a waterproof function, do not immerse it in water for extended periods.
• Use only the original or officially authorized charger and data cable for rechargeable wireless keyboards. Non-original accessories may cause overheating, fire, or battery damage.
• Do not place heavy objects on the keyboard or strike the keys violently to prevent key failure, keycap falling off, internal circuit damage, or switch damage.
• Keep the keyboard away from children under 36 months to prevent accidental ingestion of small parts (keycaps, screws).
• Stop using the keyboard immediately if it overheats, smokes, emits an abnormal smell, or exhibits other abnormal conditions. Disconnect the power supply (or remove the battery for wireless models) immediately.
• Do not spill liquid (e.g., water, coffee, juice) on the keyboard. If liquid spills, turn off the power immediately and dry it thoroughly before using it again. For mechanical keyboards, clean the switch body to avoid short circuits from liquid residue.

3. Setup & Usage Instructions

3.1 Wired Keyboard Connection

1. Turn on your computer, gaming console, or other compatible device.
2. Plug the keyboard's USB-C/USB-A cable into the corresponding port on your device.
3. Wait for the system to automatically install the default driver. No additional driver installation is typically required.
4. If driver installation fails, restart your device and try again. For Windows systems, you can check and update the driver through Device Manager.
5. Once installed, you can use basic functions like typing, shortcut keys, backlight control, and macro functions.

3.2 Wireless Keyboard Connection

3.2.1 2.4GHz USB Receiver Connection

1. For rechargeable models, ensure the keyboard is fully charged.
2. Take out the 2.4GHz USB receiver from the keyboard or product package and plug it into a USB port on your device.
3. Turn on the power switch at the bottom/side of the keyboard. The power indicator light will illuminate if the battery is properly installed or fully charged.
4. Wait 1-2 minutes for the device to automatically pair with the keyboard. After successful pairing, the indicator light will stop flashing, and you can use the keyboard normally.
5. If pairing fails, reinsert the USB receiver, restart the keyboard and the device, and try pairing again.

3.2.2 Bluetooth Connection

2. Press and hold the Bluetooth pairing key (usually marked with a Bluetooth icon or "BT" key) for 3-5 seconds until the pairing indicator light flashes, indicating pairing mode.
3. Turn on the Bluetooth function on your device (computer, gaming console, mobile phone), search for the keyboard model (e.g., "Wolf Spider A87"), and click to pair.
4. After successful pairing, the indicator light will stop flashing, and you can use the keyboard normally. For multi-device models, press the corresponding device switching key to quickly switch between connected devices.

3.2.3 Charging the Wireless Keyboard

1. Connect the USB-C charging cable to the keyboard's charging port and plug the other end into a power source (computer, charger, power bank).
2. The charging indicator light will be red during charging and turn green when fully charged. (Indicator light state may vary by model).
3. Note: Do not charge the keyboard for more than 2 hours to avoid overcharging and damaging the battery. It is recommended to charge it in a cool and dry environment.

3.3 Basic Operation

• Power On/Off: Press and hold the power switch for 2-3 seconds to turn on/off the wireless keyboard. Wired keyboards do not need to be turned off separately; just unplug the cable.
• Battery Reminder: When the wireless keyboard battery is low, the low-battery indicator light will flash (if supported). Replace the battery or charge it in time.
• Backlight Control: Press the backlight switch key (usually marked with a light icon) to turn on/off the backlight. Press and hold the FN key + backlight key to adjust brightness, color, and lighting mode (breathing, static, flowing).
• Anti-Ghosting Function: The keyboard supports multi-key simultaneous input without conflict, suitable for gaming and fast typing scenarios, ensuring accurate key recognition.
• Shortcut Keys: Use the function keys (F1-F12) with the FN key for shortcut operations (e.g., adjusting volume, switching windows, opening settings, controlling backlight). Specific functions are marked on the keyboard keys.

3.4 Advanced Functions

To access enhanced keyboard features, including macro programming, backlight customization, and key response speed adjustment, download the Wolf Spider official software from the official website or follow the prompts in the product package for the download link.

• Macro Programming: Launch the Wolf Spider Gaming Software, record complex operation sequences (macros), and assign them to a single key for quick execution (e.g., game skill combos).
• Backlight Customization: Adjust the backlight color, lighting mode, brightness, and speed through the software to create a personalized gaming atmosphere and set different backlight effects for various key areas.
• Key Response Speed Adjustment: Adjust the keyboard key response speed in the software to adapt to different gaming and typing needs, avoiding input delays.
• Key Test: Use the software to test whether each key is working normally and quickly locate problem keys if there is a failure.

4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your AULA F99Max keyboard.

• Cleaning: When cleaning the keyboard, turn off the power first. Use a soft brush or air blower to clean key gaps and remove dust and debris. Do not use corrosive cleaning agents to avoid damaging the keyboard surface and internal components.
• Keycap Care: If a keycap becomes loose, press it firmly to reset. If a key is stuck, gently press the keycap to reset it.
• Battery Care (Wireless Models): For rechargeable models, avoid overcharging (do not charge for more than 2 hours). Charge in a cool, dry environment. For models using replaceable batteries, use high-quality batteries and replace them when the low-battery indicator flashes.
• Storage: Store the keyboard in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
