Istruzioni per l'uso

1. Personalizzazione QMK/VIA

The Keychron Q2 supports full QMK and VIA programming, allowing you to remap keys, create macros, and customize lighting effects. To use VIA software:

1. Scarica il software VIA dal sito ufficiale Keychron webposto (keychron.com/pages/qmk-via).
2. Connect your Q2 keyboard to your computer via the USB cable.
3. Launch the VIA software. The software should automatically detect your Q2 keyboard. If not, you may need to import the Q2 keymap JSON file, also available on the Keychron websito.
4. Use the graphical interface to drag and drop functions, assign macros, and configure lighting for each key. Changes are applied in real-time.

2. Switch sostituibili a caldo

The Q2's PCB supports both 3-pin and 5-pin MX style mechanical switches, allowing for easy switch replacement without soldering.

1. Utilizzando l'estrattore per tasti in dotazione, rimuovere con cautela il tasto dall'interruttore che si desidera sostituire.
2. Use the provided switch puller to gently grip the top and bottom clips of the switch. Pull the switch straight up to remove it from the PCB.
3. Allineare i pin del nuovo interruttore con i fori sul PCB. Assicurarsi che i pin siano dritti per evitare piegature.
4. Premere saldamente il nuovo interruttore in posizione finché non scatta.
5. Riposizionare il tasto.

3. Keycaps and RGB Lighting

The Q2 comes with premium non-shine-through PBT keycaps, known for their durability and oil resistance. The keyboard features south-facing RGB LEDs, designed to provide better illumination of the backlight from the typist's perspective.

Manutenzione

1. Pulizia della tastiera

Una pulizia regolare aiuta a mantenere le prestazioni e l'aspetto della tastiera.

• Rimozione della polvere: Utilizzare una bomboletta di aria compressa per soffiare via polvere e detriti dagli spazi tra i tasti.
• Pulizia dei tasti: For deeper cleaning, remove the keycaps using the provided keycap puller. Wash them with mild soap and water, then ensure they are completely dry before reattaching.
• Pulizia della cassa: Pulisci la custodia in alluminio con un panno morbido eamp panno. Evitare prodotti chimici aggressivi che potrebbero danneggiare la finitura.

2. Switch and Stabilizer Maintenance

The hot-swappable design allows for easy maintenance of switches and stabilizers.

• Sostituzione dell'interruttore: If a switch becomes faulty, replace it using the hot-swapping procedure described in the Operating Instructions.
• Lubrificazione dello stabilizzatore: For optimal performance and reduced wobbliness on larger keys (space bar, shift, enter), the PCB-mounted screw-in stabilizers can be lubricated. This typically involves disassembling the keyboard to access the stabilizers.
