- Cleaning Keycaps: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down keycaps. For deeper cleaning, keycaps can be carefully removed using a keycap puller (not included) and cleaned with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching.
- Cleaning the Keyboard Body: Use a microfiber cloth to wipe the aluminum top case and plastic base. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Removing Dust and Debris: Use compressed air to clear dust and debris from between the keycaps and switches.
- Cable Care: Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling on the USB cable to prevent damage.
6. Troubleshooting
- Keyboard Not Responding:
- Ensure the USB 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 a system-specific issue.
- RGB Lighting Not Working:
- Check the Fnatic software for lighting settings and ensure they are enabled.
- Verify that no onboard lighting shortcuts have inadvertently turned off the lighting.
