5. Operating Instructions

5.1 General Use

The DKS100 functions as a standard 104-key keyboard. Its membrane design provides a tactile feedback similar to brown mechanical switches, while maintaining a quieter operation due to an additional silicone layer under the keys.

5.2 Backlight Functionality

The keyboard features a white backlight. For optimal visibility, especially in low-light conditions, it is recommended to keep the backlight on during use. Specific controls for backlight on/off or brightness adjustment are typically integrated via function keys (Fn + specific key). Please refer to the keycap legends for any dedicated backlight control keys.

5.3 Anti-Ghosting Keys

The DKS100 supports 19-key anti-ghosting, allowing multiple key presses to be registered simultaneously without conflict. This feature is particularly beneficial for gaming and fast typing. The anti-ghosting keys include: Q, A, Z, W, X, E, D, C, B, Space, Up, Down, Left, Right, Tab, Alt_L/V, Ctrl_L/F, and Shift_L.

The keycaps are made with double-shot injection molding, ensuring that the characters are transparent and will not wear off over time, as the backlight shines directly through them.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your keyboard.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface of the keyboard. For deeper cleaning, you may use a slightly damp cloth with a mild cleaning solution, ensuring no liquid enters the keyboard.
