4.3 N-Key Rollover and Anti-Ghosting

• Full-N-Key Rollover (NKRO): This feature ensures that every key press is registered, regardless of how many keys are pressed simultaneously. This is particularly beneficial for fast typists and gamers.
• Anti-Ghosting: Prevents unintended key presses from being registered when multiple keys are pressed at once, ensuring accuracy and responsiveness.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance helps prolong the life and performance of your keyboard:

• Cleaning the Keyboard: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the keycaps and chassis. For deeper cleaning, you can use a can of compressed air to remove dust and debris from between the keys.
• Keycap Removal: The included keycap puller can be used to carefully remove keycaps for thorough cleaning or replacement. Insert the puller onto the keycap and gently pull upwards. Be careful not to damage the switch stem.
• Avoid Liquids: Do not expose the keyboard to liquids. In case of accidental spills, immediately disconnect the keyboard and allow it to dry completely before reconnecting.

• Keyboard Not Responding:
  • Ensure the USB cable is securely plugged into both the keyboard and your computer.
  • Try plugging the keyboard into a different USB port.

  • Test the keyboard on another computer to determine if the issue is with the keyboard or the original computer.
• RGB Lighting Not Working:
  • Check if the lighting is turned off via software or a key combination.
  • Ensure any necessary software for lighting control is installed and up to date.
