Dustsilver D66 Keyboard

The Dustsilver D66 is a mechanical keyboard designed to "make input more ritualistic," offering a blend of aesthetic customization, versatile connectivity, and user-friendly features. This instruction manual provides a comprehensive overview of its specifications, packaging contents, pairing and connection procedures, and common key combinations.

Function Description

The Dustsilver D66 keyboard is a versatile input device supporting multiple connection modes: 2.4G wireless, Bluetooth, and wired (USB Type-C). It is compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Mac OS, Android, and iOS, making it suitable for various devices and user preferences. The keyboard emphasizes user customization through its "Keyboard painter card," encouraging users to personalize the design, and offers dynamic backlighting effects that can be adjusted or switched via key combinations or a control program.

A unique feature of the D66 is its integrated knob, which by default controls volume. A short press mutes the audio, while a long press (3 seconds) switches its function to adjust the main backlight brightness. This dual-function knob enhances user convenience by providing quick access to essential controls.

The keyboard also includes indicator lights for key functions. A green light on the upper part of the indicator bar signifies when Capslock is active. A blue light on the lower half of the indicator bar indicates that the WIN key is locked (activated by Fn + WIN), which can be unlocked by repeating the combination. Additionally, the indicator lights provide visual feedback on battery status: red for low battery, green for charging, and RGB for normal power, including a dynamic spectrum cycle for lighting effects.

Usage Features

Connectivity:

The D66 offers three primary connection modes, selectable via a physical switch on the keyboard:

2.4G Wireless Mode: Connects via a dedicated 2.4G signal receiver. Users simply plug the receiver into a USB port, and the device connects automatically. If a non-factory receiver is used, a matching operation is required: long press Fn+R for 3 seconds until the backlight flashes, activating the 2.4G signal band. The backlight returns to normal upon successful connection.
Wired Mode: Connects directly via a USB Type-C cable. The Type-C end plugs into the keyboard, and the USB end into the host device.
Bluetooth Wireless Mode: Supports up to three Bluetooth devices. To pair, users long press Fn + Q/W/E for 3 seconds. The corresponding key's backlight will flash (red for device 1, blue for device 2, yellow for device 3), indicating activation of the Bluetooth signal band. Users then open the Bluetooth connection interface on their device, select "D66 KB 5.0" or "D66 KB 3.0," and connect. The backlight returns to normal after successful pairing.
