Quick Start Guide

What's in the Box

  • Ergonomic Full Size Mechanical Keyboard
  • USB-C to USB-C Braided Cable (1.5m)
  • Switch Puller Tool
  • Keycap Puller Tool

First-Time Setup

Ready to Use: Plug in and type. No drivers required for basic functionality.
  1. Connect USB-C cable to keyboard and computer
  2. Set the physical Mac/Win toggle to your operating system
  3. Keyboard activates with default RGB effect when connection is successful

Mac/Win Toggle

Use the physical switch on the keyboard to select your operating system. Mac optimizes the F-row for macOS media and brightness controls. Win optimizes for Windows shortcuts. This determines how FN layer shortcuts behave.

Connection

Wired USB

  1. Connect USB-C cable to keyboard
  2. Connect USB-C end to computer
  3. Set physical mode switch to the wired position (toward the USB-C icon)
  4. Keyboard activates immediately — RGB backlight turns on to confirm connection
Note: If the keyboard doesn't respond after plugging in, ensure the mode switch is set to the wired/USB position.

frequently asked questions

How do I switch between RGB color modes?

Navigate to "Effect" in the LCD menu to choose from 20 lighting effects. You can also use FN + \| to cycle through effects via keyboard shortcuts. Adjust brightness (FN + ↑/↓), speed (FN + ←/→), and color (FN + TAB) with keyboard shortcuts.

How do I switch between Bluetooth devices?

Three Bluetooth devices (BT1, BT2, BT3). Navigate to "Connect" in LCD menu, select desired BT channel, and hold the knob for 5 seconds to enter pairing mode. The pairing name is "LB-K108PRO".

How do I use this keyboard with a Mac?

Navigate to "System" in the LCD menu and select WIN, MAC, iOS, or Android. The keyboard automatically adjusts modifier key positions and function mappings for the selected system.

How many devices can I pair?

Three Bluetooth devices (BT1, BT2, BT3). Navigate to "Connect" in LCD menu, select desired BT channel, and hold the knob for 5 seconds to enter pairing mode. The pairing name is "LB-K108PRO".

How do I know when the battery is low?

Red light shows when battery level drops below 20%. Connect USB cable to charge. Red light remains on while charging.

Why won't my 2.4GHz connection work?

Ensure you've selected "Connect" - "2.4G Mode" in the LCD menu before plugging in the receiver. If pairing fails, scroll to "2.4G Mode" and press and hold the knob for 5 seconds to enter pairing mode. Keep the receiver within 20cm of the keyboard during pairing.

Will this work with Figma/Adobe/Sketch shortcuts?

Yes. All modifier keys present. Custom shortcuts work identically to full-size boards. Function layer provides access to F-keys for application-specific commands.

How do I control volume?

Toggle the knob function using FN + Scroll Wheel to switch to Volume mode, then rotate the knob clockwise to increase volume or counterclockwise to decrease. You can also navigate to "Volume" in the LCD menu.

Can I use this while charging?

Yes, connect USB-C cable and continue typing. Charging takes approximately 3 hours to full capacity.

Does this work with iPad/Android tablets?

Yes. Connect via Bluetooth and select the appropriate system in the LCD menu (iOS for iPads, Android for Android tablets). The keyboard supports all devices with external keyboard capability.

What's the difference between wired and 2.4GHz modes?

Wired provides unlimited power and zero battery concerns. 2.4GHz offers wireless freedom with gaming-grade latency (typically 1-3ms). Bluetooth adds multi-device switching but slightly higher latency (8-15ms).

Long nail compatibility?

Excellent for long nails. The centered typing position keeps hands naturally aligned, and the dedicated number pad means you're not reaching across smaller layouts. Consistent key spacing and standard finger positioning reduce strain on nail extensions. The gasket structure provides a soft, delicate feel that's comfortable for extended typing sessions.
