5. Vianmääritys

• Näppäimistö ei vastaa:

  Ensure the keyboard is charged and the connection mode switch is set correctly (BT, 2.4G, or wired). For wireless connections, verify the adapter is properly inserted or Bluetooth is paired.

• Avaimet eivät rekisteröidy:

  Check for debris under the keycaps. If a specific key is not working, the switch may need to be replaced due to the hot-swappable design.
• Connectivity issues (lag/disconnections):

  Ensure the keyboard is within range of the receiver/device. Minimize interference from other wireless devices. For 2.4G, try a different USB port. For Bluetooth, try re-pairing the device.

• Ohjelmisto ei tunnista näppäimistöä:

  Ensure the keyboard is connected via USB-C or 2.4G wireless. Bluetooth connection may not be fully supported by the software for all features. Update the software to the latest version.
