Operating Instructions

1. Basic Key Functions

The JOMAA 20-Key Keyboard functions as a standard numeric keypad or macro pad. Keys are pre-assigned with numeric and basic arithmetic functions by default.

2. Macro Programming

The keyboard supports macro definition for 19 keys. This feature allows you to assign complex sequences of commands or single key presses to a single key, enhancing efficiency in gaming or productivity tasks.

• Install the JOMAA software on a Windows PC.
• Launch the software and select the key you wish to program.
• Record or input the desired macro sequence.
• Save the changes to the keyboard. The programmed macros will be stored on the keyboard's internal memory.

3. RGB Lighting Modes

The keyboard features 12 distinct RGB lighting modes. These modes can be cycled through using a dedicated key on the keyboard.

• Locate the 'Mode Switching Key' (often indicated by a gear or light icon).
• Press this key to cycle through the available lighting effects.
• Further customization of lighting effects may be available through the JOMAA software.

4. Hot-Swappable Keys

The JOMAA 20-Key Keyboard features hot-swappable switches, allowing users to replace individual key switches without soldering. This enables customization of typing feel and sound.

• Use a switch puller tool (not included) to carefully remove the keycap.
• Using the switch puller, gently grip the switch and pull it straight up to remove it from the PCB.
• Align the pins of the new switch with the holes on the PCB and press it firmly until it clicks into place.
• Replace the keycap.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Keyboard

General Care

• Avoid exposing the keyboard to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or high humidity.

Troubleshooting

Keyboard Not Responding

• Ensure the USB Type-C cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and the computer.

• If using a USB hub, try connecting directly to the computer.

RGB Lighting Issues

• Ensure the keyboard is properly powered.
• Press the 'Mode Switching Key' to cycle through different lighting effects.
• If using the software, verify that lighting settings are correctly applied and saved.

Macro Programming Difficulties

• Confirm that the JOMAA software is correctly installed on a Windows PC.
