4. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your GEEZER AK-96 keyboard, regular maintenance is recommended:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the keyboard surface. For deeper cleaning, gently remove keycaps using a keycap puller (not included) and use compressed air to clear debris.
• Storage: When not in use, store the keyboard in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Cable Care: Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling on the USB cable to prevent damage.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your GEEZER AK-96 keyboard, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Keyboard Not Responding: Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and your computer. Try connecting to a different USB port.
• Backlight Not Working: Check if the backlight is turned off (Fn + ENTER). Adjust brightness using Fn + ↑ / ↓.
• Keys Not Registering: Due to full key rollover, this is rare. Ensure no debris is lodged under the keycap.
• Intermittent Connection: Try using a different USB cable or connecting directly to a computer port rather than a USB hub.
