To adjust the angle, gently pull out the kickstands located at the rear corners of the keyboard until they lock into position. Push them back in to return the keyboard to a flat position.

Operating the Keyboard

1. Magnetic Top Cover and Style Switching

The AULA F2088 Pro features a removable magnetic top cover, allowing you to switch between recessed (with cover) and floating (without cover) keycap styles. The cover also helps protect the keyboard from dust.

To remove the cover, gently lift it from any edge. It will detach easily due to its magnetic attachment. To reattach, simply align it over the keyboard and it will snap into place.
