Manteniment

1. Neteja del teclat

Una neteja regular ajuda a mantenir el rendiment i l'aspecte del teclat.

• Eliminació de pols: Feu servir una llauna d'aire comprimit per treure la pols i les restes que hi ha entre les tecles.
• Neteja de les tecles: 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.
• Neteja de caixa: Wipe the aluminum case with a soft, damp tela. Eviteu productes químics durs que puguin danyar l'acabat.

2. Switch and Stabilizer Maintenance

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

• Substitució de l'interruptor: 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.
