5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the lifespan of your mechanical keyboard.

• Cleaning the Keyboard Body: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe dust from the keyboard body. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid excessive moisture.
• Dust Removal: Use compressed air to blow out dust and debris from between the keycaps and switches.
• Avoid Liquids: Do not spill liquids on the keyboard. If a spill occurs, immediately disconnect the keyboard from your computer and allow it to dry completely before reconnecting.
• Storage: When not in use, store the keyboard in a clean, dry environment, ideally using the included keyboard cover to protect it from dust.
