5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Keyboard Not Responding

  • Check Connection: Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected, or the 2.4GHz receiver is properly plugged in, or Bluetooth is paired.
  • Power Switch: Verify the keyboard's power switch is in the "ON" position.
  • Battery Level: If in wireless mode, ensure the battery is charged. Connect the USB-C cable to charge.
  • Try Different Port/Device: Test the keyboard on a different USB port or computer to rule out port or device issues.

5.2 RGB Lighting Not Working Correctly

  • Check Settings: Use the web-based driver to verify RGB settings and ensure lighting is enabled.
  • Brightness: Adjust brightness using the CNC knob or driver.
  • Reset: Perform a factory reset (if available via driver or specific key combination) to restore default lighting.

5.3 Keys Not Registering or Double-Typing

  • Actuation Point: Adjust the actuation point for the affected key(s) using the web-based driver. A very low actuation point might cause unintended presses.
  • Switch Seating: Ensure the magnetic switch is fully seated in its socket. Gently press down on the keycap.
  • Switch Replacement: If a specific key continues to malfunction, consider replacing the hot-swappable switch.
