Troubleshooting

Keyboard not detected in wired mode

Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and the computer. Try a different USB port or cable.

Wireless connection is unstable or intermittent

Ensure the keyboard is within the wireless range (10m). Check for interference from other wireless devices. Try re-pairing the 2.4GHz receiver or Bluetooth connection.

Keys are not responding or acting erratically

Check if the keyboard is in the correct mode (wired, Bluetooth, or 2.4G). Ensure the keyboard firmware is up-to-date. If using hot-swapped switches, ensure they are seated correctly.

RGB backlighting not working or behaving as expected

Cycle through the RGB modes using the dedicated function keys. Reset the keyboard settings if necessary. Ensure the battery is sufficiently charged.

Keychron Launcher not recognizing the keyboard

Make sure the keyboard is connected via USB and in wired mode. Ensure you are using a compatible browser (Chrome, Opera, Edge). Close and reopen the web app.
