Setup
- Connect the Keyboard: Plug the USB-A connector of the keyboard cable into an available USB port on your computer.
- Driver Installation: The keyboard is plug-and-play and typically does not require additional drivers for basic functionality. Your operating system (Windows, Linux, Mac OS) should automatically detect and configure the device.
- Adjust Tilt: Extend the foldable feet on the underside of the keyboard for a more ergonomic typing angle, if desired.
Operating Instructions
Backlight Control
The keyboard features blue LED backlighting with four adjustable brightness levels.
- To turn the backlight ON/OFF or adjust brightness, press the Fn key simultaneously with the F11 key (which typically has a sun icon). Repeated presses will cycle through brightness levels and off.
Touchpad Functions
The integrated Cirque touchpad supports standard pointing and scrolling features.
- Pointing: Move your finger across the touchpad surface to control the cursor.
- Clicking: Use the left and right buttons below the touchpad for left and right clicks, respectively. Tapping the touchpad surface may also perform a left click, depending on your operating system settings.
- Scrolling: Some operating systems may support two-finger scrolling or edge scrolling on the touchpad. Refer to your operating system's mouse/touchpad settings for configuration options.
USB Hub Usage
The keyboard is equipped with two built-in USB 2.0 ports. These ports can be used to connect low-power USB devices such as a mouse, USB flash drive, or other peripherals.
- Simply plug your USB device into one of the available USB ports on the side of the keyboard.
Num Lock Function
The Num Lock function on this keyboard can affect certain keys. If your alphabet keys (e.g., J, K, L) produce numbers instead of letters, the Num Lock function is likely active.
- To enable or disable Num Lock, press the Fn key simultaneously with the Num Lock key.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your keyboard, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the keyboard surface. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild cleaning solution. Avoid spraying liquids directly onto the keyboard.
- Dust Removal: Use compressed air to remove dust and debris from between the keys.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the keyboard in a clean, dry environment.
Troubleshooting
- Keyboard not responding:
- Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to your computer.
- Try plugging the keyboard into a different USB port.
- Restart your computer.
- Keys typing numbers instead of letters (e.g., 'k' types '2'):
- This indicates that the Num Lock function is active. Press Fn + Num Lock simultaneously to toggle it off.
- Backlight is off or not adjusting:
- Press Fn + F11 repeatedly to cycle through brightness levels and turn the backlight on.
- Ensure the keyboard is properly connected and receiving power.
- Touchpad not working:
- Check the USB connection.
- Verify that the touchpad is not disabled in your operating system's settings.
- Some function keys not working on Mac OS:
- Due to layout differences, some specific function keys may not operate as expected on Mac OS. Basic typing and touchpad functions should remain compatible.
