Maintenance

1. Cleaning

• Disconnect the keyboard from your device before cleaning.
• Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface of the keyboard.
• For dust and debris between keycaps, use compressed air.
• For stubborn stains, lightly dampen a cloth with water or a mild cleaning solution (avoid harsh chemicals) and gently wipe. Ensure no liquid enters the keyboard.

2. Storage

When not in use for extended periods, store the keyboard in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries if storing for a very long time to prevent leakage.

Troubleshooting

• Keyboard not responding:
  • Check if the keyboard is powered on.
  • Ensure batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Replace if necessary.
  • For 2.4GHz connection, ensure the USB receiver is securely plugged into the computer and the keyboard is in 2.4G mode.
  • For Bluetooth connection, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device, the keyboard is in the correct BT channel, and it is paired. Try re-pairing if connection is lost.
  • Move the keyboard closer to the receiver/device to rule out interference.
• Keys not registering or ghosting:
  • Ensure the keyboard is clean and free of debris that might obstruct key presses.
  • If a specific key is not working, consider replacing the hot-swappable switch for that key.
• Short battery life:
  • Ensure you are using fresh, high-quality AAA batteries.
  • The keyboard's power-saving mode should help conserve battery. If battery life is still unusually short, consider replacing batteries more frequently.
