Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Keydous NJ68 Pro, refer to the following common solutions:

Problem	Possible Cause / Solution
Keyboard not responding in wireless mode.	Ensure the keyboard is charged. Verify the correct wireless mode (2.4Ghz or Bluetooth) is selected on the keyboard. For 2.4Ghz, ensure the USB receiver is properly inserted and recognized by the computer. For Bluetooth, ensure the keyboard is paired and connected in your device's Bluetooth settings. Try re-pairing. Move the keyboard closer to the receiver/device to rule out interference.
Keys are not registering or double-typing.	Check if the switch is properly seated in the hot-swap socket. Remove and reinsert the switch. Clean any debris under the keycap or around the switch. If using custom switches, ensure they are compatible. Try updating the keyboard firmware if available.
Screen is blank or not displaying correctly.	Ensure the keyboard is powered on and charged. Check software settings for screen display options. Try restarting the keyboard (power off and on). If custom content was uploaded, ensure the file format and size are compatible.
RGB lighting is not working or inconsistent.	Check RGB settings in the keyboard software. Ensure the keyboard is not in a power-saving mode that disables lighting. Try resetting RGB settings to default via software.

If the issue persists, please refer to the manufacturer's official support channels or website for further assistance.
