Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your keyboard, connect via the USB Type-C cable for immediate use, or use the toggle on the back to switch to wireless modes. The keyboard is fully compatible with Windows and macOS, featuring dedicated Windows keys out of the box. For care, use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the chassis and keycaps. To clean under the keycaps, use a standard keycap puller to remove them and a small brush to dislodge debris from the switch plate. Avoid using liquids or aerosol cleaners directly on the PCB. The integrated battery charges in approximately 5 hours via the USB-C port, providing up to 225 hours of use depending on RGB brightness levels.
