How to use

Place the keyboard on a flat surface and connect it to the host device using the recommended cable or wireless method if supported. For daily use, type and game using the standard key layout; adjust operating system keyboard settings for preferred repeat rate and key modifiers. To change switches, gently remove the keycap, extract the switch from its hot-swap socket using a compatible puller, and insert a replacement switch until it seats securely. Refit the keycap and test the new switch before extended use.

Recommendations

For long-term reliability, clean keycaps and the keyboard surface periodically using a soft, dry cloth. When swapping switches, use a compatible switch puller and avoid excessive force to protect the hot-swap sockets. Choose replacement switches that match the keyboard's hot-swap socket standard and ensure keycap profile compatibility to maintain consistent typing feel.
