Connecting the Keyboard:

The WKL100 supports three connection modes:

1. Wired Mode: Connect the USB-C cable directly from the keyboard to your computer. The keyboard will automatically switch to wired mode.
2. 2.4GHz Wireless Mode: Insert the USB dongle into an available USB port on your computer. Switch the keyboard to 2.4GHz mode using the designated switch or key combination (refer to the operating instructions for specific details). The keyboard should connect automatically.

Operating Instructions

Switching Connectivity Modes:

The keyboard allows seamless switching between wired, 2.4GHz, and Bluetooth connections. Use the physical switch located on the keyboard or a specific key combination (often Fn + a designated key) to cycle through the modes. Consult the quick start guide included with your keyboard for exact key combinations.

Hot-Swappable Switches:

The WKL100 features hot-swappable switches, allowing you to change individual key switches without soldering. This enables customization of typing feel and sound. The keyboard is equipped with Philikey Yellow (Linear) switches, known for their smooth, consistent keystroke. You can replace them with other compatible 3-pin or 5-pin mechanical switches (e.g., Red, Blue, Brown types) to achieve different tactile feedback or actuation forces.
