Operating Instructions

Power On/Off and Mode Switching

The keyboard features a physical ON/OFF switch, typically located on the underside or side of the device. To switch between wired and wireless modes, simply connect or disconnect the USB cable. When the USB cable is connected, the keyboard operates in wired mode and charges simultaneously. When disconnected, it operates in 2.4G wireless mode.

Backlight Control (White LED for Pink Model)

The pink wireless GK82 keyboard features white LED backlighting with 6 different lighting effects. Use the function keys (often in combination with the FN key) to cycle through these effects or adjust brightness. Refer to the keycap legends for specific combinations.

Multimedia Shortcut Functions

The keyboard includes 12 multimedia shortcut functions accessible via the FN key combined with other keys (e.g., F1-F12). These functions typically control media playback, volume, and other system shortcuts. For Apple computers, FN key combinations are limited to player controls, volume adjustment, and mute.

Smart Power Management

In 2.4G wireless mode, if no key is pressed for 1-2 minutes, the keyboard will automatically enter sleep mode to conserve battery. It can be woken up by pressing any key.
