Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the lifespan of your RisoPhy keyboard.

  • Avoid Liquids: Do not expose the keyboard to liquids. In case of spills, immediately disconnect the keyboard and allow it to dry completely before reconnecting.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your RisoPhy keyboard, please refer to the following common solutions:

Keyboard Not Responding / Keys Not Working

  • Check Connection:
    • For wired mode, ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and the computer. Try a different USB port.
    • For 2.4GHz wireless, ensure the USB dongle is properly inserted and the keyboard is switched to 2.4GHz mode. Try re-pairing by unplugging and re-plugging the dongle.
    • For Bluetooth, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the keyboard is paired and selected. Try unpairing and re-pairing the keyboard.
  • Battery Level: Ensure the keyboard has sufficient charge. Connect it to a power source using the USB-C cable.
  • Restart Device: Sometimes, a simple restart of your computer or device can resolve connectivity issues.
  • Switch Issues: If a specific key is not working, it might be a switch issue. Due to the hot-swappable design, you can try removing and re-inserting the switch for that key. If the problem persists, consider replacing the switch.

RGB Lighting Not Functioning Correctly

  • Check Brightness: Ensure the brightness level is not set to minimum.
  • Cycle Modes: Try cycling through different RGB lighting modes using the keyboard's dedicated key combinations.
  • Software: If applicable, check the keyboard's software settings for lighting control.

Input Lag in Wireless Mode

  • Interference: Move the keyboard closer to your device or USB dongle to minimize potential wireless interference.
  • Battery: Low battery can sometimes affect wireless performance. Ensure the keyboard is charged.
  • Switch to Wired: For critical tasks like competitive gaming, consider using the wired connection for the most stable and lowest latency experience.
