3. Setup and Installation
- Clean the Keyboard: Ensure your G80-3800 or G80-3801 MX-Board2.0 mechanical keyboard is clean and free of dust or debris before applying the protective film.
- Unpack the Film: Carefully remove the protective film from its packaging. Avoid creasing or folding the film excessively.
- Align the Film: Gently place the protective film over your keyboard, aligning the cutouts with the individual keys. Start from one corner and work your way across, ensuring each key is properly covered.
- Smooth Out: Once aligned, gently press down on the film to ensure it adheres smoothly to the keycaps and keyboard surface. Remove any air bubbles by gently pushing them towards the edges.
- Verify Fit: Confirm that all keys are accessible and that the film does not interfere with typing or keyboard functionality.
The film is designed for a precise fit. Do not force it if it does not align correctly; re-adjust its position.
4. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the protective film requires no special operation. It is designed to remain on the keyboard during normal use, providing continuous protection.
- The film allows for normal typing and key presses without significant alteration to the tactile feel.
- It protects against dust accumulation, minor liquid spills, and general wear on the keycap legends.
- For optimal protection, ensure the film is always properly seated on the keyboard.
5. Maintenance and Care
Regular cleaning will help maintain the clarity and effectiveness of your protective film.
- Daily Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust and fingerprints from the surface of the film.
- Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn dirt or spills, gently remove the film from the keyboard. Wash it with mild soap and lukewarm water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before re-applying it to the keyboard.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, alcohol-based solutions, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the film material.
- Storage: If removing the film for an extended period, store it flat or gently rolled to prevent creases.
