The IQUNIX OG80 Series Mechanical Keyboards are versatile input devices designed for a seamless user experience across various platforms and connection types. This user guide outlines the functionality, usage, and special features of these keyboards, ensuring users can maximize their potential.
The OG80 Series keyboards offer three primary ways of connecting to devices: Bluetooth Mode, 2.4GHz Mode, and Wired Mode. This multi-mode capability allows for flexible use with a wide range of computers, phones, and tablets.
In Bluetooth Mode, the keyboard can be paired with up to three different Bluetooth devices. This is achieved by toggling the keyboard's mode switch to the wireless side and then initiating the pairing process by pressing and holding specific FN key combinations (FN+1, FN+2, or FN+3). The indicator light will blink blue during pairing and turn off once successfully connected. This feature is particularly useful for users who frequently switch between multiple devices, such as a desktop computer, a laptop, and a tablet, without needing to re-pair each time.
For the 2.4GHz Mode, the keyboard connects wirelessly via a dedicated 2.4GHz receiver. Similar to Bluetooth, users toggle the mode switch to the wireless side, plug the receiver into their computer, and then press FN+4 to enter 2.4GHz pairing mode. A pink light blinking indicates pairing mode, and the light turns off upon successful connection. This mode offers a stable and low-latency wireless connection, often preferred for gaming or applications where minimal input lag is critical.
The Wired Mode provides a direct and reliable connection via a USB Type-C cable. For wireless versions of the keyboard, users simply toggle the mode switch to the wired side and connect the USB cable to their device. This mode ensures a consistent connection, eliminates concerns about battery life, and can be used for charging the keyboard simultaneously.
The OG80 Series keyboards are equipped with a comprehensive set of function keys and special key combinations that enhance productivity and customization.
Function Keys Combinations (Windows): These combinations allow users to quickly access various system functions. By holding down the FN key and pressing specific yellow-highlighted keys, users can control multimedia, open applications, and manage system settings. For instance, FN+F5 can be used for a browser, FN+F6 for a calculator, FN+F7 for My Computer, and FN+F8 for Task Manager. Multimedia controls include Mute, Volume Up/Down (FN+F10, FN+F11), and Play/Pause (FN+ENTER). Navigation keys like Previous and Next are also available with FN+Left Arrow and FN+Right Arrow, respectively.
Backlight Keys Combinations (RGB Version): For RGB versions of the keyboard, extensive backlight customization is available. Holding FN and pressing specific keys allows users to control the backlight. FN+DEL toggles the backlight On/Off. FN+PGUP and FN+PGDN adjust the brightness (Brightness + and Brightness -). FN+HOME cycles through different backlight effects, while FN+END switches between various backlight colors. Backlight speed can also be adjusted using FN+Up Arrow (Speed +) and FN+Down Arrow (Speed -).
Special Keys Combinations (Wireless Mode): These combinations are crucial for managing wireless connections and checking battery status. FN+1, FN+2, and FN+3 are used to switch between paired Bluetooth devices (Bluetooth Device #1, #2, #3). FN+4 switches to 2.4GHz Mode. A unique feature is the battery level check: by pressing FN+B, the LED indicator blinks 1 to 10 times, representing battery levels from 10% to 100%.
Special Keys Combinations (Hold for 5 Seconds): Certain functions require holding the FN key and another key for 5 seconds. This includes Mac/Windows Layout Switching (FN+TAB), which allows users to adapt the keyboard layout to their operating system preferences. Swapping CapsLock and Left Ctrl (FN+CAPSLOCK) and enabling/disabling WinLock (FN+WIN) are also available. Additionally, users can reset the keyboard to its default settings by holding FN+Right ALT for 5 seconds.
Mac/Windows Layout Switch: The keyboard supports switching between macOS and Windows layouts. By holding FN+TAB for 5 seconds, the keyboard adjusts its key mappings to better suit the respective operating system, ensuring a familiar typing experience regardless of the platform. This is particularly useful for users who work with both Mac and Windows devices.
The LED indicator on the keyboard provides clear status descriptions for various operational states, aiding in maintenance and troubleshooting.
These indicator lights provide immediate visual feedback on the keyboard's status, helping users understand connection states, battery levels, and activated features without needing to consult the manual frequently. This simplifies troubleshooting and ensures a smooth user experience.
The IQUNIX OG80 Series Mechanical Keyboards are designed to be user-friendly and highly adaptable, catering to a wide range of computing needs with their robust connectivity options, customizable features, and clear status indicators.
