WIRED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Connect the USBC end of the USB cable into the USBC slot located on top end of the keyboard and the USBA end into any available USB port on your computer or laptop. The device is Plug-N-Play and will be ready to use after the driver is automatically installed by Windows.
Note: While plugged into the computer you will be charging the internal battery which will allow you to use the keyboard wirelessly when needed. Please refer to the wireless installation instruction for wireless usage.

WIRELESS (RF) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Please follow the steps below to start using the keyboard wirelessly using the RF dongle.

1. Connect the RF dongle that came with your keyboard into any available USB port on your computer or laptop. The RF dongle is Plug-N-Play and will be ready to use after the driver is automatically installed by Windows.
2. Turn on the internal battery by switching the on/off switch (located on the back of the keyboard) to the on position.
   Note: Please keep the switch in the off position when wireless gameplay is not needed.
3. On the keyboard press and hold the FN key then press and release the Q key. This will set the keyboard to RF mode as printed on the key.
   Note: You can switch back to wired mode by pressing the letter T while holding the FN key.

Once set to RF mode you can plug the keyboard into any USB charger to charge the keyboard while using the keyboard wirelessly.

How to re sync the keyboard to the RF dongle

The following steps will help you re-sync the keyboard to the RF dongle.

1. Remove the dongle from your computer/laptop.
2. Press and release FN+Q (RF mode). Since the dongle is out the Q LED will flash constantly.
3. Press and hold FN+P for 5 seconds until the Q and P keys start to flash.
4. Plug the RF dongle into any USB port on your computer/laptop and the keyboard will automatically sync with the dongle.

SWITCHING BETWEEN WIRED AND WIRELESS MODE

You can switch between wired and wireless mode at any time by simply holding down the FN key followed by any of the following keys:

• Q/RF: Wireless
• T/Wired: Wired

CHARGING THE BATTERY

When using the keyboard wirelessly, the CTRL key located on the left side of the keyboard will start to flash indicating that the battery is low and needs to be charged. To charge the keyboard simply connect the USBC end of the charging cable into the USBC port located at the top of the keyboard and the USBA end into any USBA charger.

FN SHORTCUTS

The keyboard is preprogrammed with 34 predefined productivity and RGB shortcuts. To utilize these shortcuts simply "press and hold" the FN key followed by the shortcut you would like to perform. Below is a table of what each shortcut does.

Productivity Shortcuts

RGB Control Shortcuts

Recording a static layout
To record your own personalized "static RGB" layout please do the following:

1. Press and release FN+\ to put the keyboard in custom RGB mode.
2. Press and release FN+\ again to initiate recording. In record mode the Win & Caps LEDs will flash rapidly indicating that it is in record mode.
3. Press each key to cycle through the different color options. Each key is controlled independently so you will need to repeat the color option for each key.
4. Once you are done, press FN+\ one more time to save and apply the current pattern.
   Note: Keyboard typing will be disabled while it is in record mode and you can only record 1 static layout.

USING THE KEYCAP AND SWITCH PULLER

Should you need to remove the keycaps and switches on your mechanical keyboard to brush away any crumbs, dust, lint, or to simply swap out the caps/switches to add a personal touch, you'll need to use the included keycap and switch pullers.

Removing the keycaps

• Unplug the keyboard from your computer.
• Attach the keycap puller over the keycap you wish to remove by pushing the puller down over the keycap until the puller grasps the cap fully.
• Pull up on the keycap to remove it from the switch.
  To reattach the keycap simply align the crosshairs located under the keycap over the switch and push it down into place.

Removing the switches

• With the keycap already removed, place the switch puller over the top and bottom part of the switch and clamp it tightly while lifting it upwards.
  
  When reattaching the switches please make sure you align the switch pins correctly before pushing them into place. Pushing them in incorrectly will cause the pins to bend making them unusable.
