4.2 Customizable Keystroke Travel (Rapid Trigger)

The magnetic switches allow for precise adjustment of keystroke actuation and reset points. This feature, known as Rapid Trigger, enables a key to be reset by gently lifting it, allowing for rapid re-triggering without needing to fully release the key.

  • Adjustment Range: Keystroke travel can be customized from 0.02mm to 3.6mm, with 0.02mm accuracy.
  • Configuration: Use the proprietary driver software to set individual key actuation and reset points.

4.3 Dynamic Key Travel (DKS)

The DKS function allows you to assign up to four different functions to a single key based on its travel distance. This is particularly useful for gaming, enabling actions like walking with a light press and running with a deeper press on the same key.

  • Configuration: Set up DKS profiles within the proprietary driver software.
  • Emergency Stop: Configure a specific key to act as an "emergency stop" by assigning different actions to shallow and deep presses.

4.5 Polling Rate

The MU68PRO supports an 8000 Hz polling rate, which is significantly faster than the standard 1000 Hz. This increases the amount of data sent per second by up to 8 times, resulting in quicker response times.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning the Keyboard

  • 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 down the keycaps and frame.
  • For dust and debris between keys, use compressed air.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

5.2 Hot-Swappable Switches and Keycaps

The IROK MU68PRO features hot-swappable magnetic switches, allowing for easy replacement without soldering. Keycaps can also be replaced.

  • Switch Replacement: Gently pull the switch straight up using a switch puller tool (not included). Align the new magnetic switch carefully and press it firmly into place.
  • Keycap Replacement: Use a keycap puller tool (not included) to remove keycaps. Press new keycaps firmly onto the switch stems.
  • Ensure the keyboard is disconnected during switch or keycap replacement to prevent accidental input or damage.

6. Troubleshooting

  • Keyboard Not Responding:
    • Ensure the USB-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 system-specific issues.
    • Restart your computer.
  • RGB Lighting Not Working/Incorrect:
    • Verify that the driver software is installed and up to date.
    • Check RGB settings within the driver software.
    • Ensure no conflicting software is running that might interfere with RGB control.
  • Keys Not Registering or Double-Typing:
    • This could indicate an issue with a specific magnetic switch. Try replacing the affected switch if you have spares.
    • Ensure the switch is fully seated in its socket.
    • Check the keystroke travel settings in the driver software; incorrect settings can sometimes cause unexpected behavior.
  • Software Not Detecting Keyboard:
    • Ensure the keyboard is properly connected via USB.
