- Cable Care: Avoid bending or twisting the USB-C cable excessively. When storing, coil the cable loosely.
- Liquid Spills: In case of a liquid spill, immediately disconnect the keyboard from your computer. Turn it upside down to drain as much liquid as possible. Allow it to dry completely for at least 24-48 hours before reconnecting. Do not use a hairdryer as excessive heat can damage components.

5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your DIERYA DK68SE keyboard, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Keyboard not responding | Loose cable connection, faulty USB port, driver issue. | Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and the computer. Try a different USB port. Restart your computer. |
| Backlight not working | Backlight turned off, brightness set to minimum. | Press Fn + Backspace to toggle the backlight. Use Fn + Up Arrow to increase brightness. |
| Keys not registering or ghosting | Software conflict, physical debris under keycap. | Ensure full key rollover is functioning (it's a hardware feature). Clean under the affected keycap. Test on another computer to rule out software issues. |
| Incorrect key output (e.g., @ instead of ") | Incorrect keyboard layout setting in operating system. | Check your computer's operating system settings to ensure the keyboard layout is set to "English (US)" or the appropriate English layout. |
