Is the RGB lighting customizable?

Troubleshooting
Keyboard not responding in wireless mode
Ensure the battery is charged and that the physical switch on the back of the keyboard is set to the correct mode (2.4GHz or Bluetooth).
Keys feel inconsistent or 'mushy'
Check that the keycaps are fully seated on the switches and ensure no debris has fallen under the key stem.
Connection drops frequently
Move the wireless dongle closer to the keyboard using an extension cable or move other 2.4GHz devices away from the receiver.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, connect your keyboard using the included USB-C cable for initial charging and firmware updates via Razer Synapse. When using the HyperSpeed Wireless mode, ensure the 2.4GHz dongle is plugged into an unobstructed port to minimize interference. For Bluetooth, hold the pairing shortcut until the indicator blinks to connect up to three unique devices.
To maintain the keyboard, periodically remove the PBT keycaps using a standard keycap puller to clear out dust and debris. Use a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol for the aluminum top plate. Avoid using harsh chemicals or compressed air at high pressure directly into the switch housings, as this can dislodge internal components.
