3.2 Backlight Control

The keyboard features integrated backlighting. Specific key combinations, often involving the Fn key and certain function keys (e.g., Fn + Scroll Lock, Fn + Home, or dedicated backlight keys), control backlight brightness, patterns, and on/off states.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning

To clean your keyboard, first disconnect it from your computer. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the keycaps and chassis. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth with a mild cleaning solution can be used, ensuring no liquid enters the keyboard's internal components. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

4.2 Spill Resistance

The keyboard features an anti-splash design, providing a degree of protection against accidental liquid spills. In case of a spill, immediately disconnect the keyboard from your computer, gently shake off any excess liquid, and allow it to air dry completely before reconnecting. This feature is designed to mitigate damage from minor spills but does not guarantee full waterproofing.
