Maintenance
Cleaning
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your AULA F99 keyboard, regular cleaning is recommended. Use a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with a small amount of water or a mild cleaning solution. Avoid excessive moisture. For cleaning between keycaps, a can of compressed air can be used to dislodge dust and debris. Ensure the keyboard is powered off and disconnected before cleaning.

- Gently use the keycap puller to remove the desired keycap.
- Use the switch puller to carefully grip the switch and pull it straight up.
- Align the pins of the new switch with the holes on the PCB and press firmly until it clicks into place.
- Place the new keycap onto the switch stem and press down.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your AULA F99 keyboard, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Keyboard not connecting: Ensure the correct connection mode (Bluetooth, 2.4GHz, or wired) is selected. For wireless modes, check battery level and ensure the dongle is properly inserted or Bluetooth is paired. Try restarting the keyboard and the connected device.
- Keys not responding: Check if the keyboard is powered on and connected. If individual keys are not working, consider replacing the switch using the hot-swap feature.
- RGB lighting issues: Verify that the backlighting is enabled. Use the FN key combinations to cycle through effects, adjust brightness, and speed. Ensure the driver software is installed and up-to-date for full customization.
- Lag or input delay: For wireless connections, ensure there are no strong interferences (e.g., other 2.4GHz devices). Try moving closer to the receiver or switching to a wired connection.
If problems persist after attempting these steps, please contact AULA customer support for further assistance.
