Operating Instructions

1. Basic Keyboard Functions

The GK68 functions as a standard 68-key keyboard. All alphanumeric keys, modifiers (Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Fn), and navigation keys (arrows, Home, End, PgUp, PgDn) operate as expected. The Fn key is used in combination with other keys to access secondary functions, typically indicated by icons or alternative legends on the keycaps.

2. RGB Lighting Control

The keyboard features dynamic RGB backlighting. You can cycle through various lighting modes and adjust brightness/speed using specific key combinations. Refer to the keyboard's keycap legends or the software for detailed instructions on lighting customization.

• Changing Lighting Modes: Typically, Fn + \ | (backslash/pipe key) cycles through different RGB effects.
• Adjusting Brightness: Use Fn + ↑ (Up Arrow) to increase brightness and Fn + ↓ (Down Arrow) to decrease brightness.
• Adjusting Speed/Direction: Use Fn + ← (Left Arrow) and Fn + → (Right Arrow) to adjust the speed or direction of certain lighting effects.

3. Knob Functionality

The dedicated knob located on the top right of the keyboard serves multiple purposes:

• Default Function: By default, rotating the knob adjusts the system volume. Pressing the knob typically mutes/unmutes audio.
• Programmable Functions: The knob's functions can be customized using the MOLGRIA driver software. You can assign it to control zoom, scroll, or other specific actions for your workflow or gaming needs.

4. Software Programming

The MOLGRIA GK68 keyboard is fully programmable via its dedicated software, compatible with both Windows and Mac OS. This software allows you to:

• Remap almost all keys to specific functions.
• Create and assign macros.
• Customize RGB lighting effects, colors, and patterns.
• Adjust the functionality of the programmable knob.

Download the latest software version from the official MOLGRIA support page for optimal performance and access to all features.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the keyboard with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a keycap puller to remove keycaps and compressed air to clear debris from between switches. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
• Keycap Replacement: The pudding keycaps can be removed using the provided keycap puller. Gently pull upwards on the keycap until it detaches. When replacing, align the keycap with the switch stem and press down firmly until it clicks into place.
• Switch Replacement: The GK68 features hot-swappable optical switches. To replace a switch, first remove the keycap. Then, use a switch puller (not included, but compatible with optical switches) to gently pry the switch from its socket. Align the new optical switch with the pins and press it firmly into the socket until it is seated correctly. Note: Only optical switches are compatible; mechanical switches are not supported.
