How to use

Connect the keyboard to a compatible PC using the supplied USB cable and allow the system to recognize the device.

If customizing key assignments or lighting via optional software, save profiles to avoid accidental reversion. The compact layout is best for users comfortable with a reduced footprint; adjust your mouse position accordingly for ergonomic alignment.
