4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning Your Keyboard

To ensure longevity and optimal performance, regular cleaning is recommended:

• Disconnect the keyboard from your computer before cleaning.
• Use a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with a small amount of water or a mild cleaning solution to wipe down the keycaps and keyboard surface.
• For deeper cleaning, use the provided keycap puller to remove keycaps and clean underneath with compressed air or a small brush.
• Ensure the keyboard is completely dry before reconnecting it.

4.2 Switch Replacement

Thanks to the hot-swappable design, replacing switches is straightforward:

1. Carefully remove the keycap of the switch you wish to replace using the keycap puller.
2. Use a switch puller (not included, but often comes with replacement switches) to gently pull the switch straight up from the PCB.
3. Align the pins of the new switch with the holes on the PCB and press firmly until it clicks into place. Ensure pins are not bent.
4. Replace the keycap.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Keyboard Not Responding

• Ensure the USB-Type C 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 system-specific issues.
• Restart your computer.

5.2 RGB Lights Not Working Correctly

• Check the brightness level using the multi-function knob or FN key combinations.
• Cycle through different lighting modes using FN + TAB to see if the issue persists across all modes.
• Ensure the keyboard's driver software (if installed) is up to date.
