Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your MageGee MK1 keyboard.

• Spill Resistance: The keyboard features a splash-proof design. In case of accidental spills, immediately unplug the keyboard, wipe off the liquid, and allow it to air dry completely before reconnecting.
