2.4 Magnetic Switch Adjustment Method

The AULA F108 is equipped with a driver that offers multiple magnetic switch functions for fine-tuning performance:

• Press and Hold/Click (MT): Assign two functions to a single button; one for a quick click and another for a press and hold.
• Switching Switch (TGL): Modify a button to trigger continuously when clicked, while a press and hold triggers normally.
• Release Trigger (END): A button can send an action when released.
• SOCD Function: Bind two buttons; the later pressed button forces the release of the previous one, ensuring only one button triggers at a time.
• Quick Trigger Function (RT): Dynamically adjusts trigger and reset strokes based on your press/release intention.
• Visualized Calibration: Perform fast magnetic switch travel calibration and real-time detection of visualized magnetic switch travel.

To calibrate, enter the driver to view the magnetic flux of each switch. Start calibration, press each button until it lights green, then save.

3. Maintenance

3.1 Keycap and Switch Replacement

The AULA F108 features hot-swappable keycaps and magnetic switches. Use the provided keycap puller to carefully remove keycaps. For switches, use a switch puller (not included) to gently remove them. Ensure proper alignment when inserting new switches to avoid bending pins.

3.2 Cleaning

To clean your keyboard, disconnect it from power. Use a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution. Avoid spraying liquids directly onto the keyboard. For dust and debris between keys, use compressed air.
