Maintenance

Cleaning the Keyboard

Regular cleaning helps maintain the keyboard's performance and appearance.

1. Disconnect the keyboard from your computer and remove batteries if using wirelessly.
2. Use a can of compressed air to blow away dust and debris from between the keycaps.
3. Wipe the keycaps and keyboard surface with a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution. Avoid excessive moisture.
4. Do not spray cleaning solutions directly onto the keyboard.
5. Allow the keyboard to dry completely before reconnecting.

Keycap Care

The keyboard features durable Double Shot PBT keycaps. These are resistant to shine and wear. If removing keycaps for deeper cleaning or customization, use a proper keycap puller to avoid damaging the keycaps or switches.
