4. Maintenance

4.1. Cleaning the Keyboard

To clean the keyboard, use a soft, lint-free cloth. For keycaps, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water can be used. Ensure the keyboard is powered off and disconnected before cleaning. The double-shot PBT keycaps are designed to resist oil and wear.

To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the keyboard frequently. Charge it when the battery indicator shows low power. Store the keyboard in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.

5. Troubleshooting

  • Intermittent connection: Ensure the keyboard is within range of the receiver/device. Avoid sources of interference (e.g., other wireless devices, large metal objects).

5.2. Lighting Issues

  • RGB not working: Check G HUB software for lighting settings. Ensure the keyboard firmware is up to date.
  • Incorrect colors: Recalibrate colors in G HUB or reset lighting profiles.
