4. Vedligeholdelse

4.1. Rengøring af tastaturet

To maintain the performance and appearance of your CHERRY MX 10.0N RGB keyboard, regular cleaning is recommended:

• Frakobl tastaturet fra computeren, før du rengør det.
• Brug en blød, fnugfri klud lidt dampened with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution to wipe down the keycaps and chassis.
• Brug trykluft til støv og snavs mellem tasterne.
• Undgå at sprøjte væsker direkte på tastaturet.
• Sørg for, at tastaturet er helt tørt, før du tilslutter det til computeren igen.

4.2. Holdbarhed

The CHERRY MX LOW PROFILE RGB SPEED switches are designed for extreme durability, guaranteeing over 50 million operations per key. The solid metal construction of the keyboard further enhances its longevity, making it a reliable peripheral for long-term use.

5. Fejlfinding

5.1. Tastaturet reagerer ikke

• Sørg for, at USB-kablet er korrekt tilsluttet til både tastaturet og computeren.
• Prøv at tilslutte tastaturet til en anden USB-port på din computer.
• Genstart din computer.
• Hvis det er muligt, så test tastaturet på en anden computer for at afgøre, om problemet skyldes tastaturet eller dit system.

5.2. Accidental Key Presses / High Sensitivity

Due to the highly responsive nature of the CHERRY MX LOW PROFILE RGB SPEED switches (1mm actuation point), some users may experience accidental key presses, especially when transitioning from keyboards with higher actuation forces or longer travel distances. This is a characteristic of speed switches designed for rapid input.

• Practice and familiarity with the switch type will generally reduce accidental presses over time.
• Adjust your typing style to be lighter and more precise, avoiding resting fingers heavily on keys.
• The compact layout, with reduced spacing between key blocks, may also require a period of adjustment to prevent hitting adjacent keys.

5.3. Lighting Issues

• Ensure the keyboard is properly powered via USB.
• Cycle through lighting modes and adjust brightness using the keyboard's built-in shortcuts (refer to the quick start guide or Cherry website for specific key combinations).
• If using the "CHERRY Utility" software, ensure it is up-to-date and correctly configured.
