Setup, Compatibility & Care

Connecting the keyboard is straightforward: simply plug the included 2m cable into any USB Type-A port on your computer. Because the keyboard uses a detachable cable, it is easy to transport for LAN events. To get the most out of the hardware, download the CHERRY MagCrate software to calibrate your actuation points and customize the per-key RGB lighting. For care, use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe down the keycaps. Since the board uses hot-swappable technology, keep in mind that you can replace switches without soldering, but ensure any replacement switches are compatible with the CHERRY MK magnetic system. Keep the keyboard away from liquid spills to protect the internal PCB-mounted stabilizers and electronics.
