6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your keyboard.

• Cleaning Keycaps: Use the provided keycap removal tool to carefully lift keycaps. Clean them with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Ensure keycaps are completely dry before reattaching.
• Cleaning the Keyboard Base: Use compressed air to remove dust, crumbs, and debris from between the switches and under the keycaps. Wipe the keyboard surface with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
• Avoid Liquids: Do not spill liquids on the keyboard. If a spill occurs, immediately disconnect the keyboard and allow it to dry completely before reconnecting.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the keyboard's finish and keycap legends.

7. Troubleshooting

• Keyboard Not Responding:
  • Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and your computer/device.
  • Try connecting the keyboard to a different USB port on your device.
  • Restart your computer or device.
• Specific Keys Not Working or Double-Tapping:
  • Carefully remove the affected keycap using the keycap removal tool.
  • Check for any visible obstructions, dust, or debris around the mechanical switch. Use compressed air to clean the area.
  • Reattach the keycap firmly. If the issue persists, the switch may require professional service.
• Backlight Not Working or Changing:
  • Ensure the backlight is turned on using the Fn + ← key combination.
  • Try cycling through different lighting modes with Fn + Tab.
  • Adjust the brightness using Fn + ↑ / ↓.
• Keycap Layout Discrepancy (UK vs. US):
  • Some keyboards may have keycaps printed with a UK layout (e.g., '@' on '2', '"' on '3', '£' on '3'), even if the internal software functions as a US layout.
  • The keyboard's output will typically follow your operating system's keyboard language settings. If your OS is set to US English, pressing Shift+3 will produce '#' regardless of the keycap printing.
  • If you type by sight, this may require an adjustment period.
