• Switching Modes: Press Fn + Command (or the key with the touchpad/numeric keypad icon) to toggle between touchpad and numeric keypad functionality.
• Touchpad Gestures: The touchpad supports various multi-touch gestures for navigation, scrolling, zooming, and app switching, similar to a laptop trackpad. (Note: Gesture support may vary depending on the connected operating system.)
• Numeric Keypad: In numeric keypad mode, the keys function as a standard 10-key pad for efficient data entry.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Nillkin Cube Pocket Keyboard, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the keyboard surface. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, but ensure no liquid enters the keyboard. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: When not in use, fold the keyboard to protect the keys and touchpad. Store it in the provided storage bag to prevent scratches and dust accumulation.
• Avoid Extreme Conditions: Do not expose the keyboard to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, high humidity, or dusty environments.
• Handle with Care: While durable, avoid dropping the keyboard or applying excessive force to the keys or hinges.

The high-grade silicone leather and sturdy metal hinges contribute to the keyboard's durability.
