Cleaning your mechanical keyboard to prevent issues:

One of the best ways to prevent mechanical keyboard issues is to keep it clean. Dust, dirt, and debris can accumulate under the keys and cause all sorts of problems.

1.Remove the keycaps:  You can do this by gently pulling them off with a keycap puller or a small flathead screwdriver. Be careful not to damage the keycaps or the key switches. 
2.Clean the keycaps: Once you've removed the keycaps, you can clean them with a soft, damp cloth or a gentle cleaning solution. And be sure to dry the keycaps thoroughly before reattaching them to your keyboard. 
3.Clean the keyboard body: Use a soft, dry cloth or a small, soft-bristled brush to remove any dust or debris from the keyboard body. You can also use a can of compressed air to blow out any dirt or dust that may be stuck between the keys. 
4.Reattach the keycaps: Once you've cleaned your keyboard, you can reattach the keycaps. Make sure they are lined up correctly and press them down firmly to ensure they are properly attached. 

Troubleshooting techniques for unresponsive keys:

Unresponsive keys are a common issue with mechanical keyboards, and there are several things you can try to fix the problem.

1. Make sure your battery level hasn’t dropped too low.
2. Press “Fn + Esc” for over 3 seconds to restore the factory settings.
3. If the battery is well charged, try hot-swapping out the problematic switch, and swapping in a replacement switch.
