Every keyboard should be cleaned regularly for longer life and good performance. We recommend to do it once a month, especially if you like eating at your desktop. Here’re some tips.

How to Clean Your Keyboard

  1. Unplug the transceiver from the desktop and remove the batteries from your keyboard.
  2. Wipe your keyboard with a dry lint-free cloth.
  3. Use a compressed air duster to remove the dust particles or crumbs from between the keys.
  4. If you spilled water onto the keyboard, repeat step 1, then turn it upside down and let the residual liquid drop.
  5. Take an absorbent kitchen towel and sponge the watered areas gently. Do not rub the keys!
  6. You may use a hair dryer for good measure. Dry your keyboard with a hair dryer thoroughly.
  7. Leave it for a while to dry, then plug back and try the performance.
  8. If your keys are stuck or response with a pause, you may need to tear the keys down to dry the innards of your keyboard. Do not do this, if you don’t have enough expertize.

As the Sculpt Comfort Desktop is wireless, there should be no metal obstacles between the keyboard and the mouse and the receiver. With other wireless devices nearby the signal is unstable.

You should download and install Microsoft drivers for the mouse for better and faster scrolling.
