Maintenance

Cleaning the Keyboard

• Disconnect the keyboard from all power sources before cleaning.
• Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution to wipe the keycaps and chassis.
• For deeper cleaning between keys, use compressed air to remove dust and debris.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasives, or solvents, as these can damage the keyboard's finish and components.

Switch Care

Troubleshooting

  • Check the connection mode switch (Wired, 2.4G, BT) and ensure it matches your connection method.
  • For wired mode, try a different USB port or cable.
  • For 2.4GHz, ensure the USB dongle is securely plugged in and try re-pairing (Fn + R). The indicator light should flash rapidly then become solid.
  • For Bluetooth, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and try re-pairing (Fn + Q/W/E). The indicator light should flash rapidly then become solid.
  • Try resetting the keyboard to factory defaults by pressing Fn + Esc.
• RGB lighting not working or stuck:
  • Ensure the keyboard is powered on.
  • Adjust brightness using Fn + Up/Down Arrow.
