Operating Instructions
The XPG INFAREX K10 keyboard offers various functions to enhance your user experience. Below are instructions for common operations.
RGB Lighting Control
The keyboard features dynamic RGB lighting. Specific key combinations allow you to cycle through various lighting modes and effects. Refer to the keyboard's function key legends for specific lighting controls (e.g., FN + Scroll Lock, FN + Pause Break for mode changes, FN + Arrow keys for brightness/speed adjustments).
