<aside> ⚠️

When removing the top case, release the top side first, followed by the bottom side. Lift the top case straight up to avoid damaging it during disassembly. Hold the top and bottom case together to pick up the keyboard. Swinging or lifting only the top case may cause the bottom case to drop. Please be aware that any damage due to mishandling is not covered by the warranty.

Copper Weight Care Instruction

Due to the properties of 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 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.

How to use VIA to program your keyboard
FN key The key on the left of the left arrow is FN or MO(2) - 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.
