Maintenance
Cleaning the Keyboard
- Disconnect the keyboard from your device before cleaning.
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution to wipe the keycaps and keyboard surface.
- For dust and debris between keycaps, use compressed air.
- To clean under the keycaps, use the provided keycap puller to carefully remove them. Clean the switches and plate with compressed air or a small brush. Reattach keycaps by pressing them firmly onto the switch stems.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture.
Storage
When not in use, store the keyboard in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
- Keyboard not responding:
- Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and the device.
- Try connecting the keyboard to a different USB port.
- Restart your computer or device.
- Backlighting not working or inconsistent:
- Check if the backlighting is turned off (FN + Print Screen).
- Adjust brightness using FN + Up/Down Arrow keys.
- Try resetting backlight settings using FN + Pause Break.
- Keys not registering or ghosting:
- Ensure the keyboard is clean and free of debris under the keycaps.
- The keyboard features anti-ghosting, but if issues persist, try connecting to a different USB port or device to rule out system-specific issues.
