CHARGING THE BATTERY

Battery indicators

The light on the spacebar indicates the status of the battery:

White light: full battery.
Yellow light: charging.
Red light (flashing): low battery.

When the keyboard battery is low, connect the cable to your computer or an external power source (such as a USB charger to charge your keyboard. You may continue to use it while it charges.

Tip: lowering the brightness or switching off the RGB lighting completely significantly increases the battery life and reduces the frequency of charges.

Power saving function

In order to preserve battery life, the keyboard lights turn off after 7 minutes of inactivity while on a wireless connection (2.4G or Bluetooth). The keyboard enters a stand-by mode after 30 minutes of inactivity. Ending any wireless connection also puts the keyboard on stand-by mode.

BLUETOOTH MODE

Note: for basic pairing instructions, check the Quick Start Guide in the previous page.

You can pair up to 3 devices at the same time and quickly switch between them, by following the pairing steps detailed in the quick start guide with each of the available keys  (Q, W, E).

Each key has a different light indicator (blue, cyan, purple). While pairing mode is active, the light flashes. Once the keyboard has been paired with the device on the selected key  (Q, W or E), the light will become still and then turn off. If pairing is not completed within 2  minutes, the pairing process stops and the light turns off.

When multiple devices are paired, simply press FN + Q/W/E to select each one. The corresponding light blinks once and then turns off.

Note: depending on your Operating System, one or two device names may appear (KLIM Shift 3.0 or KLIM Shift 5.0). When available, it is recommended to select 5.0.

KEYBOARD CUSTOMIZATION

Replacing the keycaps

This keyboard includes a set of spare white keycaps that you can install to give your keyboard a unique look. Use the keycap removal tool to extract the keycaps by pressing down until the keycap is hooked, then pulling up. Take the replacement keycap and install it by aligning it with the switch and firmly pressing down.

Tip: make sure you place them in the right position! Otherwise, it can be confusing to use the keyboard (unless you’re a touch typing master, that is).

Here are some layout ideas:

Frame/frameless mode

The frame of the keyboard is removable. Grab the keyboard and push down with your thumbs while pulling the frame upwards.
To reinstall it, simply place it in position again until it is magnetically attached.

Replacing the switches (advanced users only!)

This keyboard is hot-swappable, which means you can swap the switches without any soldering. Here are the instructions on how to go about it:

1. Use the key removal tool to extract the keycaps (as explained in the previous section).
2. Clamp the front and back of the switch (NOT the left and right) using a switch puller and pull up until you completely remove the switch.
3. Take the new switch and push it down with your hand until it is set in place. Pay attention to the switch orientation and make sure the pins are properly aligned!
4. Reinstall the keycap by hand and enjoy your new switches!
