Instruccions de funcionament

Key Functions and Backlight Control

The keyboard features standard TKL layout keys and dedicated function keys. Backlight settings can be adjusted directly on the keyboard or through the Keychron Launcher web aplicació.

• Tecles de funció (F1-F12): Access media controls and other system functions.
• Control de la llum de fons: Use the dedicated backlight key (usually top right) or Fn + arrow keys to cycle through RGB effects and adjust brightness.

Customization with Keychron Launcher

The Keychron Launcher is a web-based application that allows extensive customization of your keyboard without requiring software downloads. Access it via your web navegador.

• Reassignació de tecles: Assign custom functions to any key.
• Macros: Create complex sequences of commands.
• Ajust del punt d'actuació: Fine-tune the distance at which a keypress registers (0.2mm to 3.8mm).
• Disparador ràpid: Enable faster key response by activating and resetting keystrokes based on real-time travel distance.
• Pulsacions de tecles dinàmiques (DKS): Assign up to four actions per key based on press depth, allowing for layered input.

Interruptors magnètics d'efecte Hall

The K8 HE utilizes Hall Effect magnetic switches, which detect keypresses using magnetic sensors instead of physical contact. This design reduces wear and tear, offering enhanced durability and a smooth typing experience. These switches are hot-swappable, allowing for easy replacement without soldering.

Manteniment

Neteja del teu teclat

Per mantenir l'aspecte i la funcionalitat del teclat:

• Disconnect the keyboard from your device.
• Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe down the keycaps and frame.
• For deeper cleaning, use the included keycap puller to remove keycaps and clean underneath with compressed air or a small brush.
• Eviteu utilitzar productes químics o materials abrasius.

Hot-Swapping Switches and Keycaps

The K8 HE features hot-swappable switches, allowing you to change them without soldering. The included keycap and switch puller facilitate this process.

1. Eliminació de les tecles: Use the keycap puller to gently lift keycaps straight up.
2. Eliminació dels interruptors: Use the switch puller to grasp the top and bottom clips of the switch and pull it straight out.
3. Instal·lació d'interruptors: Align the new switch with the holes on the PCB and press down firmly until it clicks into place. Ensure the pins are not bent.
4. Instal·lació de les tecles: Align the keycap with the switch stem and press down gently.

Resolució de problemes

• El teclat no respon:
  • Check the connection mode switch (2.4G, BT, Cable) and ensure it matches your connection method.
  • For wireless modes, ensure the keyboard is charged.
  • Try reconnecting the USB-C cable or re-pairing Bluetooth.
  • Ensure the OS switch is set correctly for your operating system.
• Claus que no es registren o s'escriuen dues vegades:
  • This can sometimes be resolved by recalibrating the switches using the Keychron Launcher web aplicació.
  • Ensure switches are fully seated. If a switch is faulty, it can be hot-swapped.
• La retroiluminació no funciona:
  • Check backlight brightness settings using Fn + arrow keys or the dedicated backlight key.
  • Ensure the keyboard is not in a low-power mode.
• Problemes de connectivitat (retard, desconnexions):
  • For 2.4 GHz, ensure the receiver is not obstructed and is close to the keyboard. Use the extension adapter if needed.
  • For Bluetooth, ensure no other devices are interfering and try re-pairing.
  • Update firmware via the Keychron Launcher if available.
