FAQ

Why doesn’t the keyboard respond after I connect it to my computer?

We recommend a direct connection to your laptop/desktop to avoid any latency issues. However, if this keyboard is connected via a USB hub, allow 10–15 seconds for proper detection and avoid using any unpowered or underpowered hubs to ensure sufficient power supply to the keyboard.

What if some keys aren’t responding?

Try unplugging it and plugging it in again. If this doesn’t fix the issue, please contact us through the appropriate e-mail address below.

Product Care & Use
