2. Use a switch puller (not included, but often comes with replacement switches) to gently pull the switch straight up from the PCB.
3. Align the pins of the new 3-pin or 5-pin mechanical switch with the holes on the PCB.
4. Press the new switch firmly into place until it clicks. Ensure it is seated correctly and functions.

5. Vedligeholdelse

5.1 Rengøring

• Frakobl tastaturet fra alle strømkilder før rengøring.
• Brug en blød, fnugfri klud lidt damprengøres med vand eller en mild rengøringsopløsning til at tørre tastaturets overflade af.
• Brug trykluft eller en lille børste til at fjerne støv og snavs mellem tasterne.
• Undgå at bruge skrappe kemikalier, slibemidler eller opløsningsmidler, da disse kan beskadige tastaturets finish eller tastaturforklaringer.

5.2 Skiftpleje

If you frequently hot-swap switches, ensure the switch pins are straight before insertion to prevent bending. Avoid excessive force when inserting or removing switches.

6. Fejlfinding

• Tastaturet reagerer ikke i kablet tilstand:
  • Sørg for, at USB-C-kablet er korrekt tilsluttet til både tastaturet og computeren.
  • Verify the mode switch on the keyboard is set to "USB".
  • Prøv en anden USB-port på din computer eller et andet USB-C-kabel.
• 2.4GHz Wireless connection issues:
  • Ensure the 2.4GHz receiver is plugged into a working USB port.
  • Confirm the keyboard mode switch is set to "2.4G".
  • Trykke Fn + R to re-pair the keyboard with the receiver.
  • Flyt tastaturet tættere på modtageren for at reducere interferens.
• Bluetooth-parringsfejl:
  • Ensure the keyboard mode switch is set to "BT".
  • Tryk og hold Fn + Q/W/E for 3-5 seconds to enter pairing mode for the desired slot.
  • Sørg for, at Bluetooth er aktiveret på din enhed, og at den kan ses.
  • Remove any previous pairings of the keyboard from your device's Bluetooth settings and try again.
• RGB-baggrundsbelysning fungerer ikke eller er forkert:
  • Check backlight brightness with Fn + PgUp.
  • Gennemgå tilstande med Fn + Ins.
  • If using the software, ensure settings are applied correctly.
• Specific keys not responding after hot-swapping:
  • Remove the keycap and switch. Inspect the switch pins to ensure they are not bent. Straighten them carefully if necessary.
  • Reinsert the switch firmly, ensuring both pins align with the PCB sockets.
  • Test with a known working switch in the same socket to rule out a PCB issue.
