• When replacing switches, ensure they are aligned correctly with the PCB sockets to avoid bending pins.
• Press new switches firmly into place until they click.

Troubleshooting

• Keyboard not responding: Check the connection mode (wired, 2.4G, Bluetooth) and ensure it's correctly set. For wired, ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected. For wireless, ensure the receiver is plugged in (2.4G) or Bluetooth is paired.
• Charging issues: Ensure you are using a standard USB port (preferably a computer's USB port) and not a fast-charging phone adapter or an inferior/over-voltage power adapter.
• Lighting not working/incorrect: Adjust the light brightness and speed using the multi-functional knob or FN+ key combinations. Check the LCD screen for lighting effect settings.
• Keys not registering: If individual keys are not working, they might be dirty or the switch might be faulty. Try cleaning around the key or replacing the switch if it's hot-swappable.
• Bluetooth pairing issues: Ensure the keyboard is in Bluetooth pairing mode and your device's Bluetooth is on and discoverable. Try re-pairing the device.
• Software issues: If experiencing issues with custom lighting or display images, visit the official AULA website to download the latest software/drivers.

User Tips

• Customization Software: To fully utilize custom lighting effects and personalize the display screen with images or GIFs, download the official software from the AULA website.
• Knob Sensitivity: The multi-functional knob can be sensitive; adjust settings carefully.
• Non-English Layouts: For layouts like Spanish (which uses 'Ñ'), the keyboard may not have a dedicated 'Ñ' key. However, the system often recognizes the corresponding key as 'Ñ' automatically.
• Keycap Visibility: If the default keycaps are painted and difficult to see in the dark, consider replacing them with keycaps that have hollow letters to allow backlight to shine through.
• Language Switching: For some operating systems, 'Shift + Spacebar' can be used for language switching.
