Troubleshooting
Keyboard not detected in wired mode
Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and the computer. Try a different USB port or cable.
Wireless connection is unstable or drops
Check the battery level and recharge if necessary. Ensure the nano receiver is not too far from the keyboard (within 10m range) and free from obstructions. Try re-pairing the receiver.
Bluetooth pairing fails
Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the keyboard is in pairing mode. Restart both devices and try pairing again. Check if the keyboard is already paired with another device and disconnect it.
RGB lighting not working or is incorrect
Ensure the keyboard is adequately charged. Try resetting the lighting settings via the CHERRY UTILITY software. Check if lighting effects are disabled by any function keys.
Some keys are not registering input
Verify that N-key rollover and anti-ghosting are enabled. Ensure no specific game or application is interfering with key inputs. Try a wired connection to rule out wireless issues.
