Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Trueque KW98 Gaming Keyboard and Mouse, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the surfaces of the keyboard and mouse. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid excessive moisture.
  • Dust Removal: Use compressed air to remove dust and debris from between the keys of the keyboard and from the mouse sensor area.
  • Avoid Liquids: Do not spill liquids on the keyboard or mouse. If a spill occurs, immediately disconnect the device and allow it to dry completely before reconnecting.
  • Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the devices in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Cable Care: Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the USB cables to prevent internal damage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Trueque KW98 Gaming Keyboard and Mouse, please refer to the following common solutions:

  • Keyboard or Mouse Not Responding:
    • Ensure both USB connectors are securely plugged into your computer's USB ports.
    • Try plugging the devices into different USB ports on your computer.
    • Restart your computer.
    • Test the keyboard and mouse on another computer to determine if the issue is with the devices or your system.
  • Keyboard Backlighting Not Working or Incorrect:
    • Ensure the backlighting is not turned off (cycle through modes using FN + INS).
    • Adjust brightness using FN + PGUP / PGDN.
    • Some settings may reset upon computer shutdown; the keyboard is designed to remember settings, but verify.
  • Mouse Lighting Not Changing Color:
    • The mouse features a built-in 7-color cyclic gradual lighting effect that operates automatically and cannot be manually changed or turned off. This is normal operation.
  • Keyboard Wobbles When Raised:
    • Check if both adjustable feet are fully extended and locked into place.
    • Ensure the surface the keyboard is on is flat and stable.
    • If one clip appears shorter or damaged, contact customer support for assistance.
  • Certain Shortcut Keys (e.g., Explorer, Email, Calculator) Not Functioning:
    • While the keyboard has dedicated FN combinations for these functions, some operating systems or software configurations may prevent them from working as expected. Verify your system's hotkey settings.
  • Missing "END" Key Functionality:
    • The KW98 is a 98% layout keyboard, which means some less commonly used keys, like a dedicated "END" key, may be omitted. Users may need to utilize software-based key remapping tools or alternative keyboard shortcuts within their applications (e.g., Ctrl + Right Arrow in some text editors) to achieve similar functionality.
