Operating Instructions

Magnetic Mechanical Switches

The BOYI 66Pro utilizes magnetic mechanical switches, offering hyper-fast response times and adjustable actuation points. These switches operate based on the Hall effect, providing durability and precision without physical contact points.

• Adjustable Actuation: The actuation point can be adjusted from 0.1mm to 4.0mm with a precision of 0.1mm. This allows users to customize the key sensitivity to their preference for gaming or typing.
• Rapid Trigger: This technology enables keys to reset instantly upon release, allowing for extremely fast repeated inputs, crucial for competitive gaming.
• Dual Action Keypress: Through the BOYI 66Pro software, you can assign two different actions to a single key based on the depth of the keypress. This allows for complex skill combos with a single key.

8K Hz Polling Rate

The keyboard features an 8000 Hz polling rate, meaning it reports key presses to your computer up to 8000 times per second. This significantly reduces input latency, providing a competitive edge in fast-paced games.

RGB Backlighting

The BOYI 66Pro features 16.8 million color RGB backlighting with south-facing LEDs for superior brightness and compatibility with various keycap profiles. You can customize lighting effects and colors using the dedicated software.

• Switching Lighting Modes: Press Fn + Page Down to cycle through different lighting modes.

Multimedia Knob

The integrated multi-function knob allows for easy control of multimedia functions:

• Rotate: Adjust volume.
• Press: Play or pause media.

Hot-Swappable Switches

The BOYI 66Pro features a hot-swappable design, allowing you to easily replace the magnetic switches without soldering. It supports 3-pin or 5-pin magnetic mechanical switches.

Maintenance

Cleaning

• Use the provided dust cover when the keyboard is not in use to prevent dust accumulation.
• To clean the keycaps, gently remove them using the keycap puller. Wipe them with a soft, damp cloth.
• Use a can of compressed air to remove dust and debris from between the switches.
• Wipe the keyboard surface with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Switch Replacement

If a switch needs replacement, use the switch puller to carefully remove the old switch. Align the pins of the new 3-pin or 5-pin magnetic switch with the sockets on the PCB and press down gently until it clicks into place.

Troubleshooting

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 a system-specific issue.
• Restart your computer.

RGB Lighting Not Working or Incorrect

• Ensure the keyboard is properly connected.
• Press Fn + Page Down to cycle through lighting modes.
• Check the BOYI 66Pro software for lighting settings and ensure they are configured correctly.
• Update the keyboard firmware if available.

Keys Not Registering or Double-Typing

• This could indicate an issue with the magnetic switch. Try replacing the affected switch with a spare one or a switch from a less-used key.
• Ensure the switch is fully seated in its socket.
• Check the actuation point settings in the software; an extremely low actuation point might cause unintended triggers.
