  • Odstranjevanje prahu: S pločevinko stisnjenega zraka odpihnite prah in umazanijo med tipkami.
  • Čiščenje tipkovnice: 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.
  • Čiščenje ohišja: Aluminijasto ohišje obrišite z mehko krpoamp krpo. Izogibajte se ostrim kemikalijam, ki bi lahko poškodovale zaključek.

2. Switch and Stabilizer Maintenance

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

  • Zamenjava stikala: If a switch becomes faulty, replace it using the hot-swapping procedure described in the Operating Instructions.
  • Stabilizer Lubrication: 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.
