4.1 Key Functions

The Thock TKL keyboard features a standard 87-key US layout. Many keys have secondary functions accessible via the 'Fn' key. Refer to the keycaps for specific Fn combinations (e.g., Fn + F1-F12 for media controls, volume, etc.).

4.2 RGB Backlight Customization

The keyboard features programmable ARGB backlighting. You can cycle through various lighting effects and colors directly on the keyboard using specific Fn key combinations, or through the dedicated software for more advanced customization.

The keyboard features excellent ARGB backlighting, allowing for various color and effect customizations.

4.3 Software Usage

For advanced customization of key bindings, macros, and RGB lighting effects, download and install the dedicated ENDORFY software from the official website. The software provides a graphical interface to fine-tune your keyboard settings.

The dedicated software allows for comprehensive adjustment of backlight color, type, effects, and key bindings.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

To clean your keyboard, first disconnect it from your computer. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the keycaps and chassis. For deeper cleaning, you may use a can of compressed air to remove dust and debris from between the keys. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

5.2 Hot-Swapping Switches

The ENDORFY Thock TKL keyboard features hot-swappable switches, allowing you to easily change them without soldering. Use the provided switch puller tool to carefully remove switches. Align the new switch with the pins and gently press it into place until it clicks.

The hot-swap feature allows for easy replacement of switches using the included tool.

The keyboard comes equipped with Kailh Box Red switches, known for their smooth and linear actuation.

5.3 Keycap Replacement

The keyboard uses durable PBT Double Shot keycaps. To remove a keycap, use the keycap puller tool (often combined with the switch puller) to gently pull it upwards. To install a new keycap, align it with the switch stem and press down firmly until it is seated.

The durable PBT Double Shot keycaps are resistant to wear and maintain their appearance over time.
