Troubleshooting

A key is not registering inputs

Use a switch puller to remove the switch and check if the pins are bent. If they are, straighten them gently or replace the switch with a new 3-pin unit.

Volume wheel is not adjusting audio

Ensure the keyboard is plugged into a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port and check your operating system audio settings to ensure the keyboard is recognized as a media input device.

RGB lighting is stuck or flickering

Unplug the keyboard for 10 seconds to power cycle the internal controller, then reconnect to a different USB port.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the GK320 is a simple plug-and-play experience via the integrated USB cable. As a standard UK layout keyboard, it is fully compatible with Windows and macOS systems, though specialized RGB configuration may require MSI software support.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Remove the magnetic top cover to shake out debris. Use a soft, dry brush for the keycaps.
  2. Switch Replacement: Always use a proper switch puller tool. If a switch feels stubborn, do not force it, as you risk damaging the hot-swappable socket pins.
  3. Cable Maintenance: Ensure the USB cable is not pinched by the edge of your desk to prevent internal wire breakage.
