Maintenance

Cleaning

  • To clean the keyboard surface, use a soft, lint-free cloth.
  • For stubborn marks, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the keyboard's finish.
  • Ensure no liquid enters the POGO pin connectors or other openings.

Storage

  • When not in use, store the keyboard in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Keep the keyboard closed to protect the keys and touchpad from dust and debris.

Keyboard Not Responding

Touchpad Issues
