4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
To clean the keyboard, power it off and disconnect it from all devices. Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution. Avoid spraying liquids directly onto the keyboard. For cleaning between keycaps, use compressed air or the provided keycap puller to remove keycaps and clean the switch area.
4.2 Switch Care
While the switches are hot-swappable, handle them with care when removing or inserting. Ensure proper alignment to avoid bending pins or damaging the switch socket.
5. Troubleshooting
- Keyboard not responding: Ensure the keyboard is charged and properly connected (wired, 2.4GHz receiver, or Bluetooth paired). Try switching between connectivity modes.
- Keys not registering: Check if the actuation point is set too high or too low for your preference using the web driver. Ensure no debris is under the keycap or switch.
- Bluetooth connectivity issues: Ensure the keyboard is in BT pairing mode and your device's Bluetooth is enabled. Try unpairing and re-pairing the keyboard.
- Backlight not working: Check backlight settings in the web driver. Ensure the battery has sufficient charge if in wireless mode.
- Software issues: Ensure your web browser is up-to-date. Try clearing browser cache or using a different browser if experiencing issues with the online web driver.
