HOW TO USE

The Layers
- There are four layers of key settings on the keyboard. Layer 0 and layer 1 are for the Mac system. Layer 2 and layer 3 are for the Windows system.
- If your system toggle is switched to Mac, then layer 0 will be activated.
- If your system toggle is switched to Windows, then layer 2 will be activated. Remember that if you are using it in Windows mode, please make changes to layer 2 instead of the top layer (layer 0). This is a common mistake people are making. $Keychron-Q10-Max-Mechanical-Keyboard-fig-1 $5$$
