2. Hot-swap-kontakter

The Q2's PCB supports both 3-pin and 5-pin MX style mechanical switches, allowing for easy switch replacement without soldering.

  1. Using the provided keycap puller, carefully remove the keycap from the switch you wish to replace.
  2. Use the provided switch puller to gently grip the top and bottom clips of the switch. Pull the switch straight up to remove it 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. Sæt tastaturdækslet på igen.

Opretholdelse

1. Rengøring af tastaturet

Regelmæssig rengøring hjælper med at bevare tastaturets ydeevne og udseende.

  • Fjernelse af støv: Brug en dåse med trykluft til at blæse støv og snavs væk mellem tasterne.
  • Rengøring af tastatur: For deeper cleaning, remove the keycaps using the provided keycap puller. Wash them with mild soap and water, then ensure they are completely dry before reattaching.
  • Rengøring af kufferter: Tør aluminiumskabinettet af med en blød kludamp klæde. Undgå skrappe kemikalier, der kan beskadige finishen.

2. Switch and Stabilizer Maintenance

The hot-swappable design allows for easy maintenance of switches and stabilizers.

  • Udskiftning af kontakt: If a switch becomes faulty, replace it using the hot-swapping procedure described in the Operating Instructions.
  • Smøring af stabilisator: For optimal performance and reduced wobbliness on larger keys (space bar, shift, enter), the PCB-mounted screw-in stabilizers can be lubricated. This typically involves disassembling the keyboard to access the stabilizers.
