5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning the Keyboard

To maintain optimal performance and appearance, regularly clean your keyboard:

• Disconnect the keyboard from your computer.
• Use a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with a small amount of water or a mild cleaning solution to wipe down the keycaps and chassis.
• For dust and debris between keys, use compressed air.
• Avoid spraying liquids directly onto the keyboard.

5.2 Keycap and Switch Replacement (Hot-Swappable)

The MAD68 HE features hot-swappable switches, allowing for easy replacement without soldering. Use the provided keycap puller and switch puller (if included) for this process.

1. Gently use the keycap puller to remove the desired keycap.
2. If replacing a switch, use a switch puller to carefully extract the switch from the PCB.
3. Align the pins of the new switch with the holes on the PCB and press firmly until it clicks into place.
4. Place the new keycap onto the switch stem.
