To maintain optimal performance and appearance, regularly clean your keyboard. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the keycaps and chassis. For deeper cleaning, use the provided keycap puller to remove keycaps and clean underneath with compressed air or a small brush.

6. Fehlerbehebung

  • Tastatur reagiert nicht: Ensure the keyboard is charged or connected via USB-C. Check the power switch. For wireless mode, ensure the 2.4GHz dongle is securely plugged into a USB port and the keyboard is in 2.4GHz mode.
  • Keys not registering (Ghosting/Jamming): The N-Key Rollover feature should prevent this. If issues persist, try connecting in wired mode to rule out wireless interference.
  • Hintergrundbeleuchtung funktioniert nicht: Check backlight brightness settings using Fn + Arrow Keys. Ensure the keyboard has sufficient battery charge.
  • Verbindungsprobleme: For 2.4GHz wireless, try moving the dongle closer to the keyboard or using a different USB port. For wired, ensure the USB-C cable is fully inserted and undamaged.
