Maintenance

1. Keycap Durability

The keyboard features Doubleshot ABS Keycaps. These keycaps are manufactured using a doubleshot molding process, ensuring that the legends (letters and symbols) will never wear off, even with intense use. The extra-thick walls of the keycaps also contribute to their overall toughness.

  • Lighting Not Working: Check Razer Synapse settings to ensure lighting is enabled and configured. Adjust brightness levels.
  • Keys Not Responding: Try connecting the keyboard via USB-C cable to rule out wireless interference or battery issues. Ensure the keyboard is fully charged.
