Onderhoud

Uw toetsenbord schoonmaken

To maintain optimal performance and appearance, regularly clean your keyboard. Use a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with a small amount of water or a mild cleaning solution. Avoid excessive moisture. For cleaning between keycaps, use compressed air to remove dust and debris.

Schakelaarvervanging (hot-swappable)

The TECWARE Phantom keyboard features hot-swappable Outemu mechanical switches, allowing for easy replacement without soldering. Use the included switch puller to carefully remove a switch. Align the pins of the new switch with the holes on the PCB and gently push it into place until it clicks. Ensure the pins are straight to avoid bending.
