Safety and Ergonomics

To ensure safe usage, keep the device away from children under 3 years old due to small parts. To prevent Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), organize your workspace ergonomically. Adjust the keyboard's inclination by rotating the aluminum profile located behind the F-keys to find a comfortable angle. Take frequent short breaks, perform stretching exercises, and vary your posture regularly.

Setup and Connection

The keyboard is plug-and-play; simply connect it to a USB port on your PC or laptop. No additional software installation is required. You can adjust the typing angle by rotating the round aluminum profile behind the F-keys until the feet lock into your desired position.

Lighting Customization

The keyboard features advanced lighting controls accessible via the FN key combined with F3-F12 keys. You can change light effects, adjust brightness, and control the speed of effects. For specific color customization, use the dedicated single-key illumination mode. Press FN + F3 repeatedly to enter this mode, then use FN + END to start setting colors for individual keys. Save your custom settings by pressing FN + END again.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

To clean the keyboard, disconnect it from the computer. Use a slightly damp cloth with a mild cleaning agent. Avoid aggressive solvents like gasoline or alcohol, and prevent liquids from entering the keyboard. Do not remove the keycaps. If the keyboard fails to function, try a different USB port or test it on another computer. Ensure that 'USB Keyboard Support' or 'USB Legacy Mode' is set to 'enabled' in your computer's BIOS settings.

Reset and Disposal

To restore the keyboard to its original factory settings, press and hold the FN and PAUSE keys for 5 seconds. Dispose of the device in accordance with local legal regulations.
