Basic Keyboard Functions

The Redragon K568W-RGB functions as a standard mechanical keyboard. Simply type as you would with any other keyboard. The TKL layout means it does not include a dedicated numeric keypad, offering a more compact form factor.

RGB Backlighting Control

Your keyboard features Redragon Chroma Mk2 RGB per-key backlighting. You can cycle through various lighting modes and adjust brightness directly from the keyboard or through the Redragon software.

• Function Key Combinations: Refer to the keyboard's keycap legends for specific FN (Function) key combinations to change lighting effects, colors, and brightness. Typically, these involve the FN key combined with F-keys or arrow keys.
• Software Customization: For advanced control, including custom per-key lighting, macro programming, and more detailed effect adjustments, use the Redragon software.

Multimedia Keys

Access multimedia functions by pressing the FN key in combination with designated F-keys. These functions typically include:

• Volume Up/Down/Mute
• Play/Pause, Stop, Previous/Next Track
• Web Browser, Email, Calculator

Windows Key Lock Function

To prevent accidental presses of the Windows key during gaming, you can lock it. This function is usually activated by pressing FN + Windows Key. Repeat the combination to unlock.

DIY Mechanical Switches

The K568W-RGB features hot-swappable Redragon Mk2 Blue switches, allowing you to replace individual switches without soldering. This is useful for customizing your typing feel or replacing a faulty switch.

1. Remove Keycap: Use the included keycap puller to gently remove the keycap from the desired switch.
2. Remove Switch: Use the included switch puller to carefully grip the top and bottom clips of the switch and pull it straight up.
3. Insert New Switch: Align the pins of the new switch with the holes on the PCB. Press down gently until the switch clicks into place. Ensure the pins are not bent.
4. Replace Keycap: Place the keycap back onto the new switch.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Keyboard

• General Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution to wipe down the keycaps and keyboard frame. Avoid excessive moisture.
• Dust Removal: Use compressed air to remove dust and debris from between the keycaps.
• Deep Cleaning (Keycaps): For thorough cleaning, you can remove the keycaps using the keycap puller and wash them with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching.

Caution: Do not immerse the keyboard in water or any liquid. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials for cleaning.

Troubleshooting
