PAIRING BLUETOOTH

1. Long-press Fn + F2 for 5 seconds to enter Bluetooth mode.
2. After entering Bluetooth mode, long-press Fn + Enter for 5 seconds to begin pairing. The enter key backlight will change colors when pairing has started.
3. On your computer’s Bluetooth device discovery menu, select SK87. Enter the pairing password that appears on your computer using the keyboard.
4. Note: If you have changed your Bluetooth profile, each time you pair the keyboard you will have to long-press Fn+Enter
5. Long-pressing Fn + F2, Fn + F3, and Fn + F4 will allow you to switch between three Bluetooth profiles. In order to enter wired/USB mode, long-press FN + F1 (for 5 seconds)
6. For Windows 7 and earlier Operating Systems: After Bluetooth pairing is completed, a computer restart is required.
7. (IMPORTANT) For desktops, USB Bluetooth Adaptors should not be connected through a USB hub, but instead directly to the computer.
8. If you are using wireless cards that come with Bluetooth functionality (such as Intel Ax200), please connect the WiFi antenna for Bluetooth functionality to work.

DISABLING SLEEP MODE FOR BLUETOOTH ADAPTORS

1. Most Bluetooth Adaptors will be in sleep mode upon power on before you log into Windows, hence Bluetooth functionality will not work
2. How to disable Sleep Mode for your Bluetooth Adaptor
   a. Open “Device Manager” and search for your Bluetooth Adaptor (NOTE: Select your Bluetooth Adaptor, NOT the Bluetooth Keyboard. The adaptor in the picture is a Generic USB adaptor, Intel adaptors, etc. will be named differently) Right-click the device and click “Properties”
   b. Go to the “Power Management” tab and untick “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power”. Click “Apply” to save your changes.

Remove Switches

1. Grab your Switch Removal Tool and align the gripping teeth vertically (on the Y-Axis) at the center of the switch, as shown in the example graphic above.
2. Grab the switch with the Switch Puller and apply pressure until the switch releases itself from the plate.
3. Using firm but gentle force pull the switch away from the keyboard using a vertical motion.

Install Switches

1. Check that all the switch metallic pins are perfectly straight and clean.
2. Align the switch vertically to have the Gateron logo facing north. The pins should align themselves to the keyboard PBC.
3. Press the switch down until you hear a click. This means your switch clips have attached themselves to the keyboard plate.
4. Inspect the switch to ensure it’s properly attached to your keyboard, and test it.

Note: If the key doesn’t work it’s possible you may have bent one of the switches while installing it. Pull the switch out and repeat the process.
Pins may be damaged beyond repair and need replacement if this process is not done correctly. Never apply excessive force when replacing keycaps or switches. If you cannot remove or install keycaps or switches please contact customer service as soon as possible to avoid damage to the keyboard due to operating errors.
