Maintenance

Cleaning the Numpad

• General Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution to wipe down the keycaps and case. Avoid excessive moisture.
• Dust Removal: Use compressed air to remove dust and debris from between the keycaps.
• Deep Cleaning: For thorough cleaning, keycaps can be carefully removed using a keycap puller (not included) and cleaned separately. Ensure the numpad is disconnected from the computer before removing keycaps.

Keycap Replacement

The Varmilo Sword 2-16 Numpad uses PBT Dye Sub keycaps. If you wish to replace keycaps, use a keycap puller to gently remove the existing keycaps. Align the new keycap with the switch stem and press down firmly until it clicks into place. Be careful not to damage the switch stem.

Troubleshooting

  • Test the numpad on another computer to rule out system-specific issues.
  • Restart your computer.
• Keys Not Registering:
