Maintenance
Proper maintenance will help extend the life of your keyboard:

- Avoid Liquid Spills: Keep liquids away from the keyboard to prevent damage to the internal components. In case of a spill, immediately unplug the keyboard 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.
