Description

The keyboard defaults in OpenRGB mode. To connect it to VIA, you have to switch to VIA mode by FN+Q combo key. FN+Q is a toggle to switch between OpenRGB mode and VIA mode. Remember, do not run VIA and OpenRGB programs at the same time, only one at a time.

Note:

1. If anything goes wrong, hold ESC before plug in the keyboard and wait for 3 seconds and then release ESC to reset VIA settings.
2. V/I/A keys go white in VIA mode for indication.
3. Try to connect the keyboard directly to PC USB ports if can't connect to VIA.
