Maintenance
1. Cleaning the Keyboard

Ensure all components are dry before reassembling and powering on.
2. Keycap Removal
Use the provided keycap puller to remove keycaps. Gently place the puller over the keycap and pull upwards evenly. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage to the keycap or switch.
Troubleshooting
- Keyboard not connecting via 2.4GHz: Ensure the USB receiver is securely plugged into a working USB port. Confirm the keyboard is switched to 2.4GHz mode (Fn + Q). Check battery levels.
- Keyboard not connecting via Bluetooth: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the keyboard is in pairing mode (Fn + W or Fn + E). Try forgetting the device on your computer and re-pairing. Check battery levels.
- Keys not responding or lagging: Ensure the keyboard is fully charged or has fresh batteries. If using wireless modes, ensure there are no significant obstructions or interference between the keyboard and receiver/device. Try reconnecting the keyboard.
- Incorrect key functions (Windows/Mac): Verify the OS paddle switch on the keyboard is set to the correct operating system (Windows or Mac).
