5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning the Keyboard

To maintain optimal performance and appearance, regularly clean your keyboard:

• Disconnect the keyboard from your computer before cleaning.
• Use a can of compressed air to remove dust and debris from between the keycaps.
• Wipe the keycaps and keyboard surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Ensure the keyboard is completely dry before reconnecting it to your computer.

5.2 Spill-Resistant Design

The Redragon K555 Indrah features a splash-proof design to withstand average liquid spills. In case of a spill, immediately disconnect the keyboard, wipe off the liquid, and allow it to dry completely before reuse. This feature is designed to protect against minor splashes, not full submersion.

6.1 Keyboard Not Responding

• Ensure the USB cable is securely plugged into both the keyboard and the computer.
