3. Betjening

3.1 Grundlæggende nøglefunktioner

The Keychron Q4 features a 60% layout, which means some keys may have secondary functions accessed via the 'Fn' key. Refer to the keycap legends for these functions.

3.2 sydvendt RGB-baggrundsbelysning

The keyboard is equipped with south-facing RGB LEDs. This design ensures that the backlight effectively illuminates the keycap legends from the typist's perspective, especially with non-shine-through PBT keycaps.

4. Tilpasning

4.1 QMK and VIA Programmability

The Keychron Q4 supports full QMK and VIA functionality, allowing users to program and remap each key and create custom macros. To utilize this feature:

1. Connect the Q4 to your device via the USB-C cable.
2. Download and install the VIA software.
3. Import the Q4 keymap JSON file into the VIA software.
4. Use the drag-and-drop interface within VIA to remap keys or assign macro commands for macOS, Windows, or Linux operating systems.

Refer to the official Keychron website for detailed instructions and the latest VIA software and keymap files.

4.2 Hot-swap-kontakter

The Keychron Q4 features a hot-swappable PCB, allowing you to change mechanical switches without soldering. It supports most 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style mechanical switches (e.g., Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda).

Replacing Switches:

1. Fjern forsigtigt tastaturet ved hjælp af den medfølgende tastaturaftrækker.
2. Use the switch puller to gently grip the switch and pull it straight up from the PCB.
3. Juster stifterne på den nye kontakt med hullerne på printkortet. Sørg for, at stifterne er lige for at undgå at de bøjes.
4. Tryk den nye kontakt godt på plads, indtil den klikker.
5. Udskift tastaturdækslet.

4.3 Double-Gasket Design and Internal Foams

The Q4 incorporates a double-gasket design, which enhances typing flexibility and improves the overall sound profile. Additionally, sound-absorbing and case foams are installed internally to reduce resonance and noise between metal components. Each keyboard component is designed for easy reassembly, allowing for further customization.

5. Vedligeholdelse

5.1 Rengøring af tastaturet

For at opretholde optimal ydeevne og udseende anbefales regelmæssig rengøring:

• Taster: Use the keycap puller to remove keycaps. Clean them with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then rinse thoroughly and allow them to dry completely before reattaching.
• Tastaturhus: Brug en blød, fnugfri klud, let drænetampened with water or a gentle cleaning solution, to wipe down the aluminum frame. Avoid excessive moisture.
• Mellem nøgler: Brug trykluft til at fjerne støv og snavs mellem kontakterne. En lille børste kan også bruges til genstridige partikler.

Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the keyboard's finish or components.

6. Fejlfinding

6.1 Taster reagerer ikke

• Tjek forbindelsen: Sørg for, at USB-C-kablet er korrekt tilsluttet til både tastaturet og computeren. Prøv en anden USB-port eller et andet kabel.
• Verify OS Switch: Confirm the macOS/Windows switch is set to the correct operating system.
• Inspicer afbrydere: If individual keys are not responding, carefully remove the keycap and then the switch using the switch puller. Inspect the switch pins for any bends or damage. Straighten bent pins gently with tweezers or replace the switch if damaged. Reinsert the switch firmly.
• QMK/VIA Configuration: If keys are remapped incorrectly, check your keymap configuration in the VIA software.

6.2 Problemer med baggrundsbelysning

• Justering af lysstyrke: Ensure the backlight brightness is not set to its lowest level. Use the designated key combinations (often Fn + arrow keys or similar) to adjust brightness.
• Software kontrol: If using QMK/VIA, verify that lighting settings are correctly configured.

6.3 Keyboard Not Recognized by Computer

• Genstart computeren: En simpel genstart kan ofte løse forbindelsesproblemer.
• Prøv en anden computer: Test the keyboard on a different computer to determine if the issue is with the keyboard or the original computer's setup.
• Firmwareopdatering: Check the Keychron website for any available firmware updates for the Q4 model. Follow the instructions carefully for firmware installation.
