5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Basic Keyboard Functions

The GK68 operates as a standard 68-key keyboard. All standard alphanumeric and symbol keys function as expected. The compact layout may require using the Function (Fn) key for certain secondary functions.

5.2 RGB Backlight Control

The keyboard features multiple RGB lighting modes. Use the following key combinations to cycle through modes and adjust settings:

• Fn + \ |: Cycle through different RGB lighting effects.
• Fn + [ { or Fn + ] }: Adjust backlight brightness.
• Fn + ; : or Fn + ' ": Adjust backlight speed.
• Fn + , < or Fn + . >: Change backlight color (for static modes).

Note: The Dark Blue and Pink PBT keycaps are double-shot but are not shine-through. For light to pass through the legends, transparent keycap sets would be required.

5.3 Knob Functionality

The knob located on the top right of the keyboard is primarily designed for volume control:

• Rotate Clockwise: Increase volume.
• Rotate Counter-clockwise: Decrease volume.
• Press Down: Mute/Unmute audio.

The knob's functions can be further customized using the driver software for other actions like zoom in/out or scrolling.

5.4 Hot-Swappable Switches

The GK68 features hot-swappable optical switches, allowing you to change switches without soldering. Use the provided keycap puller and switch puller (if included) to carefully remove and replace switches. Ensure you use only compatible optical switches (e.g., Gateron Skyloong optical switches) as mechanical switches are not supported.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the keyboard. For deeper cleaning, remove keycaps with the keycap puller and use compressed air to clear debris.
• Keycap Care: PBT keycaps are durable but can be cleaned with mild soap and water if necessary. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching.
• Switch Care: Avoid spilling liquids on the keyboard. If a switch feels inconsistent, it can be replaced with a new optical switch.
