8. Troubleshooting

8.1 Keyboard Not Responding

Ensure the keyboard is charged. Connect it via USB-C cable to check if it powers on.
Verify the connection mode switch (wired, 2.4GHz, Bluetooth) is set correctly.
For 2.4GHz, ensure the USB receiver is securely plugged in and the keyboard is in 2.4GHz mode.
For Bluetooth, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the keyboard is paired. Try re-pairing if necessary.
Try connecting the keyboard to a different USB port or computer to rule out port/device issues.

8.2 RGB Backlight Not Working/Incorrect

Check brightness settings using the control knob or FN + Up/Down Arrow keys.
Cycle through lighting effects using the control knob or FN + \ key.
Ensure the keyboard is sufficiently charged, as low battery can affect lighting.
If using driver software, ensure it is running and settings are applied correctly.

8.3 Connectivity Issues (Lag/Disconnections)

Ensure the keyboard is within range of the receiver/Bluetooth device.
Minimize interference from other wireless devices (e.g., Wi-Fi routers, other 2.4GHz devices).
Ensure the keyboard battery is not low.
For 2.4GHz, try plugging the receiver into a different USB port, preferably a USB 2.0 port if available.
For Bluetooth, try removing and re-pairing the device.
