Avoid spraying liquids directly onto the keyboard or allowing moisture to seep between the keys.
For debris between keys, use compressed air to dislodge particles.

Troubleshooting

Keyboard not responding:
Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and the computer. Try connecting to a different USB-C port or a different computer to rule out port issues.
USB hub ports not working:
Verify that the keyboard itself is properly connected and functioning. Ensure the devices connected to the hub are compatible and powered if necessary. Try connecting devices directly to the computer to confirm their functionality.
Keys not registering or sticky:
Perform a thorough cleaning of the affected keys as described in the Maintenance section. If the issue persists, it may indicate a hardware problem.
Shortcut keys not functioning:
Ensure your operating system is up-to-date. Some shortcut keys may require specific software or system settings to be enabled. Refer to your operating system's documentation for media key functionality.
