6. Vedligeholdelse

6.1 Rengøring

To clean the keyboard, power it off and disconnect it from any devices. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the keycaps and chassis. For deeper cleaning, keycaps can be removed using the provided keycap puller and cleaned with a mild solution. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembly and use.

6.2 Pleje af batterier

The K8 Pro is equipped with a 4000 mAh lithium-ion battery. To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the keyboard frequently and store it in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.

7. Fejlfinding

7.1 Forbindelsesproblemer

  • Bluetooth forbinder ikke: Ensure the keyboard is in Bluetooth mode and discoverable. Remove previous pairings from your device and try pairing again. Ensure the keyboard battery is charged.
  • Kablet forbindelse virker ikke: Verify the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and the computer. Ensure the keyboard is switched to 'Cable' mode. Try a different USB port or cable.

7.2 Key Programming Issues (VIA)

  • VIA software not detecting keyboard: Ensure the keyboard is connected via USB-C cable and the OS switch is set correctly. Restart the VIA software and/or your computer.
  • Remapped keys not working: Confirm that the changes were successfully saved in VIA. Remember that key remapping must be done in wired mode.

7.3 Backlight Visibility

The K8 Pro features south-facing LEDs. While this design offers compatibility with a wider range of custom keycaps, it may result in less illumination of keycap legends compared to keyboards with north-facing LEDs, especially in low-light conditions. This is a design characteristic and not a defect.

7.4 Physical Fit/Feel

Some users may experience the keyboard's frame being slightly higher than the keycaps, potentially affecting the feel of certain keys like the spacebar. This is part of the keyboard's design and construction.
