FAQs
Is this keyboard truly waterproof?
The keyboard has an IP67 rating, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. While highly water-resistant, it is not designed for prolonged submersion.
How effective is the antibacterial protection?
The Nanoarmour 2 antibacterial protection is impregnated into the silicone and coated on the surface to help prevent the build-up and transfer of germs, bacteria, and viruses. It is an aid in maintaining hygiene.
Can I use this keyboard with a tablet or smartphone?
This keyboard connects via USB and is designed for computers (PCs, Macs). Direct connection to most tablets and smartphones may require a USB OTG (On-The-Go) adapter, and compatibility can vary by device.
Does the integrated touchpad have multi-touch gestures?
The product description does not specify multi-touch gesture support for the integrated touchpad. It functions as a standard pointing device with buttons.
What is the warranty period for this keyboard?
Please refer to the retailer or Accuratus documentation for specific warranty information, as warranty periods can vary.
Is the keyboard backlit?
No, this keyboard model does not feature a backlight.
Can I replace the silicone cover?

Troubleshooting
Keyboard not recognized by computer
Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and the computer. Try a different USB port. Restart your computer with the keyboard connected.
Keys are unresponsive or malfunctioning
Check for any debris or liquid that may have entered the key areas (though unlikely due to sealing). Disconnect and reconnect the keyboard. If the issue persists, it may require replacement.
Integrated touchpad is not working
Verify the USB connection. Restart your computer. Check your system's device manager for any errors related to the touchpad. Ensure no physical obstruction is present on the touchpad surface.
Difficulty typing due to mini layout
Allow time to adjust to the compact key spacing. Consider using on-screen keyboards or alternative input methods if adaptation is problematic.
