4.2 Personalizzazione dell'illuminazione RGB

The keyboard offers 16 distinct RGB lighting effects. These can typically be cycled through using specific key combinations (often Fn + a designated key, refer to the keyboard's keycap legends for specific functions). Additionally, the keyboard supports macro customization, allowing users to record and edit macros and personalize lighting colors from a palette of 16.8 million options via dedicated software (software download details may be available from the manufacturer's webposto).

4.3 Manopola multifunzionale

The knob located on the top right of the keyboard provides convenient control over media functions:

  • Premere: Riproduci/metti in pausa i contenuti multimediali.
  • Ruotare in senso orario: Aumentare il volume.
  • Ruota in senso antiorario: Diminuire il volume.

4.4 Switch sostituibili a caldo

The Surmen GS98 features a hot-swappable PCB, allowing you to easily replace 3-pin or 5-pin mechanical switches without soldering. This enables customization of typing feel and sound.

4.5 Gasket Structure and Sound Absorbing Foams

The keyboard incorporates a gasket-mounted design along with IXPE switch dampener pads and thicker sound-absorbing foams. This construction significantly reduces noise and eliminates hollow sounds, providing a more satisfying and consistent typing experience with creamy or thocky acoustics.

5. Manutenzione

5.1 Pulizia della tastiera

Per mantenere prestazioni e aspetto ottimali, si consiglia una pulizia regolare:

  • Scollegare la tastiera dal computer prima di pulirla.
  • Utilizzare una spazzola morbida o aria compressa per rimuovere polvere e detriti dagli spazi tra i tasti.
  • Per lo sporco ostinato, pulire delicatamente i tasti e la superficie della tastiera con un panno leggermente damp, panno privo di lanugine. Evitare l'eccessiva umidità.
  • Non utilizzare prodotti chimici aggressivi o detergenti abrasivi.

5.2 Sostituzione dei tasti e degli interruttori

Il design hot-swap consente di sostituire facilmente i tasti e gli interruttori:

  1. Rimozione dei tasti: Utilizzare l'estrattore per tasti in dotazione per afferrare delicatamente i tasti e tirarli verso l'alto.
  2. Rimozione interruttore: After removing the keycap, use the provided switch puller to carefully grasp the switch from its top and bottom clips, then pull it straight up. Avoid bending the pins.
  3. Installazione dell'interruttore: Align the pins of the new switch with the holes on the PCB. Gently press the switch down until it clicks into place. Ensure the pins are not bent during installation.
  4. Installazione dei tasti: Align the new keycap over the switch stem and press down firmly until it is seated.

6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

If you encounter issues with your Surmen Creamy Keyboard, please refer to the following common solutions:

  • La tastiera non risponde:
    • Assicurati che il cavo USB-C sia collegato saldamente sia alla tastiera che al computer.
    • Prova a collegare la tastiera a una porta USB diversa del computer.
    • Prova la tastiera su un altro computer per escludere un problema specifico del computer.
    • Riavvia il computer.
  • Illuminazione RGB non funzionante/errata:
    • Check if the lighting has been turned off or set to a very dim setting using the keyboard's function keys (e.g., Fn + arrow keys or other designated keys).
    • If using software for customization, ensure it is running correctly and the settings are applied.
  • Chiavi specifiche non registrate:
    • Remove the keycap and switch for the affected key. Inspect the switch pins for any bends or damage. Straighten bent pins carefully or replace the switch if damaged.
    • Assicurarsi che l'interruttore sia completamente inserito nella sua sede.
  • Mushy or Inconsistent Key Feel:
    • While the keyboard features sound-dampening, if the feel is unexpectedly mushy, ensure all switches are properly seated.
    • Consider replacing switches with a different type if you prefer a different tactile or linear response.
