Bedryfsinstruksies

1. QMK/VIA-aanpassing

The Keychron Q2 supports full QMK and VIA programming, allowing you to remap keys, create macros, and customize lighting effects. To use VIA software:

1. Laai die VIA-sagteware af vanaf die amptelike Keychron-webwerf. webwerf (keychron.com/pages/qmk-via).
2. Connect your Q2 keyboard to your computer via the USB cable.
3. Launch the VIA software. The software should automatically detect your Q2 keyboard. If not, you may need to import the Q2 keymap JSON file, also available on the Keychron webwebwerf.
4. Use the graphical interface to drag and drop functions, assign macros, and configure lighting for each key. Changes are applied in real-time.

2. Warm-omruilbare skakelaars

The Q2's PCB supports both 3-pin and 5-pin MX style mechanical switches, allowing for easy switch replacement without soldering.

1. Gebruik die meegeleverde sleutelhouer om die sleutelhouer versigtig van die skakelaar wat jy wil vervang, te verwyder.
2. Use the provided switch puller to gently grip the top and bottom clips of the switch. Pull the switch straight up to remove it from the PCB.
3. Rig die penne van die nuwe skakelaar met die gate op die PCB. Maak seker dat die penne reguit is om buiging te voorkom.
4. Druk die nuwe skakelaar stewig in plek totdat dit klik.
5. Sit die sleuteldop weer vas.

3. Keycaps and RGB Lighting

The Q2 comes with premium non-shine-through PBT keycaps, known for their durability and oil resistance. The keyboard features south-facing RGB LEDs, designed to provide better illumination of the backlight from the typist's perspective.

Onderhoud

1. Skoonmaak van die sleutelbord

Gereelde skoonmaak help om die sleutelbord se werkverrigting en voorkoms te handhaaf.

• Stofverwydering: Gebruik 'n blikkie saamgeperste lug om stof en puin tussen die sleutelborde weg te blaas.
• Skoonmaak van sleuteldop: For deeper cleaning, remove the keycaps using the provided keycap puller. Wash them with mild soap and water, then ensure they are completely dry before reattaching.
• Dose skoonmaak: Vee die aluminiumkas af met 'n sagte, damp lap. Vermy harde chemikalieë wat die afwerking kan beskadig.

2. Switch and Stabilizer Maintenance

The hot-swappable design allows for easy maintenance of switches and stabilizers.

• Skakelaarvervanging: If a switch becomes faulty, replace it using the hot-swapping procedure described in the Operating Instructions.
• Stabilizer Lubrication: For optimal performance and reduced wobbliness on larger keys (space bar, shift, enter), the PCB-mounted screw-in stabilizers can be lubricated. This typically involves disassembling the keyboard to access the stabilizers.
