5.4 Custom Recording Key Backlight
The MOTOSPEED K87S supports custom recording of key backlighting. This allows users to illuminate specific keys according to their preferences, which is particularly useful for gaming. Consult the full user manual or manufacturer's website for detailed instructions on how to program custom backlight profiles.
6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your keyboard:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface of the keyboard. For dust and debris between keys, use compressed air. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Spills: In case of liquid spills, immediately disconnect the keyboard from your computer. Turn it upside down to drain any liquid and allow it to dry completely before reconnecting.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the keyboard in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your MOTOSPEED K87S keyboard, refer to the following common solutions:
- Keyboard Not Responding:
- Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and the computer.
- Try connecting the keyboard to a different USB port on your computer.
- Test the keyboard on another computer to rule out a system-specific issue.
- Keys Not Working:
- Check for any physical obstructions under the keycaps.
- If a specific key is consistently unresponsive, it may indicate a switch issue.
- Backlight Not Working/Incorrect:
- Ensure the backlight is not turned off or set to the lowest brightness. Use the designated key combinations to adjust.
- Cycle through the different lighting effects to see if the issue persists across all modes.
- Excessive Key Noise: Mechanical keyboards, especially those with certain switch types (e.g., Blue switches), are designed to produce an audible click. This is a characteristic of the switch type and not a defect.
If these steps do not resolve your issue, please contact customer support.
