Maintenance

  • Cleaning Keycaps: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the keycaps. For deeper cleaning, keycaps can be carefully removed using a keycap puller (not included) and cleaned with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching.
  • Cleaning Switches: Use compressed air to remove dust and debris from between the keycaps and around the switches. Avoid spraying liquids directly into the switches.
  • Cable Care: Handle the detachable USB-C cable with care. Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling to prevent damage to the cable or connectors.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the keyboard in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
