Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Womier WK68-Pink keyboard, refer to the following common solutions:
- Keyboard Not Responding:
- Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and the computer.
- Try connecting the keyboard to a different USB port on your computer.
- Test the keyboard on another computer to rule out system-specific issues.
- Verify that the correct system mode (Windows/Mac) is selected using FN + W or FN + M.
- Backlighting Not Working or Incorrect:
- Check the keyboard's brightness settings using the function key combinations (refer to "Operating Instructions").
- If using the software, ensure the lighting profiles are correctly applied and the software is running.
- A factory reset (if available via software or specific key combination, check manufacturer's website) might resolve persistent lighting issues.
- Specific Keys Not Registering:
- Due to the hot-swappable design, a switch might be improperly seated or faulty. Carefully remove the keycap and then the switch using the provided tools. Re-insert the switch firmly, ensuring pins are straight.
- If the issue persists, try swapping the problematic switch with a known working switch from another less-used key to determine if the switch itself is defective.
- Clean any debris around the switch socket.
