Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life of your Incase Ergonomic Keyboard.

Cleaning the Surface: Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner to wipe down the keyboard surface and palm rest. Avoid excessive moisture.
Cleaning Between Keys: Use compressed air to remove dust and debris from between the keys. For stubborn particles, a small brush can be used gently.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use alcohol, ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the keyboard's finish and key legends.
Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the keyboard in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Incase Ergonomic Keyboard, refer to the following common solutions:

Problem	Solution
Keyboard is not responding.	Ensure the USB-A cable is securely plugged into both the keyboard and the computer. Try plugging the keyboard into a different USB-A port on your computer. Restart your computer. Check your computer's Device Manager (Windows) or System Information (macOS) to see if the keyboard is recognized.
Specific keys are not working.	Clean around and under the affected keys using compressed air. Ensure no software conflicts are present (e.g., remapping utilities). Test the keyboard on another computer to determine if the issue is with the keyboard or the computer.
Shortcut keys are not functioning.	Ensure your operating system is up to date. Some shortcut keys may require specific software or drivers from Microsoft or Incase, though basic functionality is usually plug-and-play. Check your system's keyboard settings for any disabled function key rows.
