Troubleshooting

Keyboard Not Responding:

• Ensure the keyboard is charged or connected via USB cable.
• Check the connection mode (Wired, 2.4GHz, Bluetooth) matches your setup.
• For 2.4GHz, ensure the USB receiver is securely plugged in.
• For Bluetooth, ensure the keyboard is paired and selected on your device. Try re-pairing if issues persist.
• Restart your computer and the keyboard.

Display Screens Not Working/Dim:

• Ensure the keyboard is sufficiently charged.
• Adjust brightness using FN + > or FN + <.
• If using custom GIFs/animations, ensure they were uploaded correctly via the software and are compatible. Some users report custom content appearing dim.
• The 10-inch LED strip is removable; ensure it is securely seated to avoid partial disconnections.

Software Issues/Security Warnings:

• Download software only from the official LEOBOG website.
• If your antivirus flags the software, it may be a false positive, but proceed with caution. You can use online tools like VirusTotal to scan the file.
• The software only works in wired mode on Windows. Ensure these conditions are met.
• If security concerns persist, customize settings once and then uninstall the software, as the keyboard has on-board memory.

Keycaps Falling Off/Loose:

• Carefully re-seat the keycaps onto the switches.
• If switches are loose, ensure they are fully pressed into the PCB.
