• Fn + [W, A, S, D]: Toggles arrow key functionality on W, A, S, D keys. Press again to revert.
• Fn + [Q, E, R, T, Y, U, I, O, P]: Multimedia controls (e.g., Play/Pause, Stop, Volume Up/Down, Mute). Specific functions may vary; refer to keycap legends.

The keyboard features white LED backlighting. Use the following combinations to control the lighting:

Maintenance

Cleaning the Keyboard

To maintain optimal performance and appearance, regular cleaning is recommended:

• Disconnect the keyboard from your computer before cleaning.
• Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution to wipe the keycaps and chassis. Avoid excessive moisture.
• For dust and debris between keycaps, use compressed air.

Keycap and Switch Removal/Replacement

The Redragon K606 LAKSHMI features hot-swappable mechanical switches, allowing for easy replacement without soldering. Use the provided tools for this process.

1. Keycap Removal: Use the keycap puller to gently grip the keycap and pull upwards. Apply even pressure to avoid damaging the keycap or switch.
2. Switch Removal: After removing the keycap, use the switch puller to grasp the two clips on the top and bottom of the switch. Gently pull the switch upwards until it detaches from the PCB.
3. Switch Replacement: Align the pins of the new switch with the holes on the PCB. Press down firmly until the switch clicks into place. Ensure the switch is seated correctly and not bent.
