2. Connect your Keychron Q7 keyboard to your computer.
3. Avvia l'applicazione VIA. Il software dovrebbe rilevare automaticamente la tastiera.

4.2 Switch sostituibili a caldo

The Keychron Q7 features hot-swappable sockets, allowing you to change mechanical switches without soldering. This supports most 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style mechanical switches.

1. Rimozione di un interruttore: Utilizzare l'estrattore per interruttori in dotazione. Afferrare delicatamente l'interruttore dalle clip superiore e inferiore e tirare verso l'alto.
2. Installazione di uno switch: Align the pins of the new switch with the holes on the PCB. Ensure the pins are straight. Press the switch firmly until it clicks into place. Do not force it if resistance is met; check pin alignment.

4.3 Tasti PBT Double-Shot

The Q7 comes equipped with durable double-shot PBT keycaps in an OSA profile. These keycaps offer enhanced comfort, excellent oil resistance, and long-term legibility due to their manufacturing process where two plastics are molded together.

4.4 South-Facing RGB Backlight

The keyboard features south-facing RGB LEDs. This design ensures that the backlight illuminates the key legends effectively from the typist's perspective and prevents interference with Cherry-profile keycaps, should you choose to install them.

5. Manutenzione

5.1 Pulizia generale

• Rimozione della polvere: Utilizzare una bomboletta di aria compressa per soffiare via polvere e detriti dagli spazi tra i tasti.
• Pulizia delle superfici: Wipe the keyboard's aluminum case and keycaps with a soft, slightly damp, panno privo di lanugine. Evitare prodotti chimici aggressivi o materiali abrasivi.
• Pulizia profonda (tasti): Per una pulizia accurata, i tasti possono essere rimossi utilizzando l'apposito estrattore in dotazione e lavati con acqua e sapone neutro. Assicurarsi che siano completamente asciutti prima di riposizionarli.

6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

• La tastiera non risponde:
  • Assicurati che il cavo USB-C sia collegato saldamente sia alla tastiera che al computer.
  • Prova una porta USB diversa sul tuo computer.
  • Verify the Mac/Windows switch on the back of the keyboard is set to the correct operating system.
  • Se disponibile, prova con un cavo USB-C diverso.
• Tasti specifici non funzionanti:
  • Due to the hot-swappable design, a switch might not be fully seated. Gently remove the keycap and then the switch using the puller, then reinsert the switch firmly.
  • If the issue persists, try swapping the problematic switch with a known working switch from another key to determine if the switch itself is faulty.
  • Check VIA software to ensure the key has not been accidentally remapped or disabled.
• Problemi di retroilluminazione:
  • Ensure the backlight is enabled via the keyboard's function keys or through the VIA software.
  • Regola le impostazioni di luminosità.
  • If only certain LEDs are not working, it might indicate a faulty LED or switch.
• Il software QMK/VIA non rileva la tastiera:
  • Ensure the VIA software is the latest version.
  • Try restarting your computer and the VIA application.
  • Ensure the keyboard is connected directly to your computer, not through a USB hub.
