Operating Instructions

Basic Keyboard Functions

The iMICE AK-600 features a standard 104-button layout, providing all essential keys for typing and gaming.

Backlight Control

The keyboard is equipped with a three-color backlight system (red, blue, green). The key characters are illuminated for visibility in low-light conditions.

Anti-Ghosting

The iMICE AK-600 supports 19-key anti-ghosting. This feature ensures that multiple key presses are registered simultaneously and accurately, preventing input conflicts during fast-paced gaming or typing.

Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your keyboard:

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe the keyboard surface with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, ensuring no liquid enters the keyboard.
• Liquid Spills: The keyboard features an integrated liquid guide hole design to help with minor spills. However, it is not fully waterproof. In case of a spill, immediately disconnect the keyboard from your computer and allow it to dry completely before reconnecting.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or strong detergents, as these can damage the keyboard's finish and key legends.
• Cable Care: Ensure the USB cable is not excessively bent, twisted, or placed under heavy objects, which could damage the internal wires.

• Test the keyboard on another computer to determine if the issue is with the keyboard or the computer's USB port/drivers.

Backlight Not Working

• Verify that the keyboard is properly connected and receiving power.
• Press the backlight control key (often labeled with a light bulb icon) to cycle through backlight modes and ensure it is not turned off.

Specific Keys Not Registering
