FAQs
If the issue persists, contact our support team.
Why are the Alt and Windows keys swapped on my keyboard?
If the Alt and Windows keys are swapped, press Fn + S and Fn + A to restore their default functions.
How do I turn Scroll Lock on or off?
Press Fn + I to toggle Scroll Lock on or off..
What should I do if a key is double-clicking or a switch isn't working?
Follow these steps: Hold Fn + Esc for a few seconds to reset your keyboard. Remove the keycap and clean the switch and PCB using a soft brush, cloth, or compressed air. If the issue continues, try replacing the switch with a spare one. If none of these steps work, please contact our support team.
My RGB lighting isn't working. What can I do?
Rapid Trigger resets the key the instant you lift your finger, allowing for much faster repeated inputs — a huge advantage in games like Valorant, CS2, or Osu! SOCD (Simultaneous Opposing Cardinal Directions) cleanly handles conflicting inputs like pressing A and D at the same time, giving you sharper, snappier strafe movement in competitive FPS titles.
Will the keycaps fade or shine over time?
No. The keycaps are dual-shot ABS, meaning the legends are molded from a separate piece of plastic rather than printed on top. They won't fade, wear off, or rub smooth no matter how many hours you put in, and the translucent design lets RGB lighting shine through cleanly.
Is a 75% layout right for me?
The 75% layout keeps all the essential keys you actually use — the full F-row, arrow keys, and a compact navigation cluster — while removing the numpad to save desk space. It's ideal if you want more room for mouse movement in games, a cleaner desk setup, or easier portability, without sacrificing functionality. If you regularly crunch numbers or use the numpad for work, a full-size or TKL with numpad might suit you better.
