These switches also allow for key exchanges across all layers. Refer to the diagram near the DIP switches for specific settings.

Programming and Customization

- Filco Assist Software: Program key patterns and macros using the dedicated Filco Assist software (Windows compatible). This software allows you to save up to 8 profiles.
- Firmware Programming: Alternatively, macros can be programmed directly into the FN layer using firmware, without the need for software. Refer to the official FILCO website for detailed firmware instructions and tools.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your keyboard:
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the keycaps and spaces between them using a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust and debris. For stubborn dirt, gently wipe keycaps with a damp cloth.
- Keycap Care: The keyboard features durable PBT keycaps. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the keycap surface.
- Switch Care: The Cherry MX Brown mechanical switches are designed for durability. Avoid spilling liquids into the keyboard.
