Maintenance

Cleaning the Keyboard

To maintain your keyboard's appearance and functionality:

• Disconnect the keyboard from your computer before cleaning.
• Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution to wipe the keycaps and chassis.
• For deeper cleaning, use the provided keycap puller to remove keycaps and a can of compressed air to clear debris from underneath.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Replacing Switches and Keycaps

Thanks to the hot-swappable design, you can easily replace switches and keycaps:

1. Removing Keycaps: Use the keycap puller to gently pull keycaps straight up.
2. Removing Switches: Use a switch puller (not included, but often comes with replacement switches) to carefully unclip and pull the switch straight up from the PCB.
3. Installing Switches: Align the pins of the new switch with the holes on the PCB. Gently push the switch down until it clicks into place. Ensure pins are not bent.
4. Installing Keycaps: Align the keycap with the switch stem and press down firmly until it is seated.
