Operating the Keyboard

60% Layout and Function Layer

RGB Backlighting

The keyboard features customizable RGB backlighting. You can cycle through various lighting effects such as Steady, Breathe, One-key light up, One-key light off, Wave, Ripple, and Raindrop. Specific key combinations (usually involving the Fn key) are used to change modes, brightness, and speed. Consult the included user manual for detailed key combinations.

Programmable Keys

All keys on the Akko 3061S, except those used for controlling Macro mode (Esc/Win), can be re-mapped. This allows you to customize key functions and create action sequences to suit your preferences. Software may be required for advanced programming.

N-Key Rollover (NKRO)

The keyboard supports N-Key Rollover (NKRO), which means it can register all simultaneous key presses without conflicts. This feature is particularly beneficial for gaming, ensuring every command is registered accurately.

Hot-Swappable Switches

The Akko 3061S is equipped with premium TTC gaming 5-pin hot-swappable sockets and plate noise reduction foam. This allows users to easily change mechanical switches without soldering. If a switch becomes faulty or if you wish to try a different switch type, you can simply pull out the existing switch and insert a new one.

PBT Dye-Sublimation OSA Profile Keycaps

The keyboard features PBT dye-sublimation keycaps with an OSA profile. PBT keycaps are known for their durability and resistance to wear, ensuring legends do not fade over time. The material is also oil-proof and fingerprint-proof, maintaining a consistent typing feel.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Keyboard

  • General Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the keyboard surface regularly.
  • Keycap Cleaning: For deeper cleaning, use the included keycap puller to carefully remove keycaps. Clean them with a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly and ensure they are completely dry before reattaching.
  • Dust Removal: Use compressed air to remove dust and debris from between the keycaps and switches.

Switch Replacement

To replace a switch:

  1. Carefully remove the keycap using the keycap puller.
  2. Use a switch puller (not included, but often comes with replacement switches) to gently grip the top and bottom clips of the switch.
  3. Pull the switch straight up to remove it from the socket.
  4. Align the pins of the new switch with the holes in the PCB and press it firmly into place until it clicks. Ensure the pins are not bent.
  5. Reattach the keycap.

Troubleshooting

Keyboard Not Responding

  • Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and the computer.
  • Try connecting the keyboard to a different USB port on your computer.
  • Test the keyboard on another computer to rule out system-specific issues.
  • Restart your computer.

RGB Backlighting Not Working

  • Check if the RGB lighting is turned off or set to a very low brightness level using the keyboard's function keys.
  • Ensure any keyboard software or drivers are up to date.

Specific Keys Not Working

  • Due to the hot-swappable design, a switch might be improperly seated. Carefully remove the keycap and then the switch, and re-insert it firmly.
  • If the issue persists, try replacing the faulty switch with a known working switch from another key (if available) to determine if the switch itself is defective.
  • Clean any debris around the switch socket.
