6. Maintenance and Care

6.1 Cleaning the Keyboard

• Disconnect the keyboard from your device before cleaning.
• The keycaps are detachable for easier cleaning. Gently pull them upwards to remove.
• Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface of the keyboard. For stubborn dirt, a mild cleaning solution can be applied to the cloth (not directly to the keyboard).
• Use compressed air to remove dust and debris from between the keys.
• Ensure the keyboard is completely dry before reconnecting it.

6.2 Spill Management

The keyboard is designed with 3 drainage holes to mitigate damage from accidental spills. In case of a liquid spill:

2. Turn the keyboard upside down to allow liquid to drain through the drainage holes.
3. Wipe the surface thoroughly with a dry cloth.
4. Allow the keyboard to air dry completely for several hours (or ideally 24 hours) before reconnecting. Do not use heat to dry it.
