Maintenance
1. Cleaning the Keyboard
- General Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution to wipe the keycaps and casing. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Dust Removal: Use compressed air to remove dust and debris from between the keycaps.
- Deep Cleaning: For thorough cleaning, keycaps can be carefully removed using a keycap puller (not included). Clean the keycaps separately and wipe the switch stems. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling.
2. Keycap Care
The keyboard features durable Dye Sub PBT keycaps. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the keycap legends and surface finish.
