• Function Keys (F1-F12): These keys perform their standard functions. Some may have secondary multimedia or system functions when pressed in combination with the Fn key.
• Numeric Keypad: The dedicated numeric keypad on the right provides quick entry for numbers and mathematical operations. Ensure Num Lock is active.

The Ajazz AK510 features customizable RGB backlighting. Specific key combinations are used to control lighting modes, brightness, and speed. Refer to the keyboard's included quick guide or manufacturer's website for detailed RGB control shortcuts, as these can vary by firmware version.

• Fn + Arrow Keys: To adjust brightness or animation speed.
• Fn + [Specific Key]: To change lighting colors in certain modes.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning Keycaps: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the keycaps. For deeper cleaning, keycaps can be carefully removed using a keycap puller (if included) and washed with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching.
• Cleaning the Keyboard Body: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the keyboard's surface. For dust between keys, use compressed air.
