Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your keyboard, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface of the keyboard. For deeper cleaning, use the included keycap puller to carefully remove keycaps and clean dust or debris with compressed air or a small brush.

Backlight Not Working or Incorrect

• Verify that the backlight is not turned off or set to minimum brightness using the Fn key combinations (Fn + ↑).
• Ensure the keyboard is properly powered via the USB connection.
• Note that due to iterative transparent word color of the keycaps, you may receive a mixed light or single light effect.

Keys Not Registering or Double Typing
