Usage recommendations

For optimal longevity, clean keycaps periodically with a soft brush and avoid exposure to liquids and extreme temperatures. When customizing switches or keycaps, power down and unplug the keyboard before performing hardware changes. Use high-quality replacement switches compatible with hot-swap Kailh sockets to maintain reliable contact and switch performance. To reduce surface noise and improve acoustics further, consider using additional switch or case foam tailored to compact mechanical keyboards.
