<aside> ⚠️ 1. Testing Before building, please test your PCB to ensure it works as suggested in section 2.2. Please note that parts damaged during installation, such as the hotswap sockets, are not covered by the warranty. In case of defects, please reach out to [email protected] via email or our Discord moderators 😃

2.Brass/Copper Weight Care Instruction

Due to the properties of brass/copper, oxidation is unavoidable even with an anti-oxidation coating. We suggest avoiding touching it too much during assembly and daily usage. DO NOT clean your brass/copper weight with alcohol or rub it hard. Otherwise, you may damage the anti-oxidation coating.

VIA - VIA (usevia.app) ****As of now, customers still need to load the .json file for the first time if they wish to edit the keymap in VIA (please use the web app — the desktop app has not updated in some time). Please download the .json file that corresponds to your PCB not the mode you are going to be using; Trimode pcb will only function in VIA with the Trimode .json for instance.

Json loaded but still cannot configure the keymap?

First, check if the keyboard is showing as paired. If not, the issue is likely related to the USB connection. In this case, ask the administrator or seller for additional help.

Next, check if the "V2 definition" is turned on. If it is, turn it off for the Neo series. For older keyboards like the QK65, you need to turn on the V2 definition; otherwise, it won't work.

How to use VIA to program your keyboard

FN key The key on the left of the ← key is FN or MO(1) - it will not register like other keys unless you turn on the TEST MATRIX
For HOTSWAP PCB, always support your socket firmly from the back (S area) while you’re installing switches. Failure in doing so can result in your hotswap socket getting pushed off its pad on the PCB (X) and the socket will no longer work. Based on your soldering knowledge, you may attempt fixing it at your own discretion. Qwertykeys and all of our vendors will not replace parts damaged by customers with mishandling.

Batteries

Please be careful when opening the case to check the cables on the batteries if you need to check the connection or change the battery. you may need to find replacement yourself if the cable broken during the process.
