You have no idea how much this video was helpful. My k2 stopped pairing with my MacBook Air and contacting support was pretty useless!!! You totally saved th day with that last tip! I also like the adjust to one backlit color! Thank You so much for creating this quick video and I am looking forward to other ones from you. All The Best!!!!
Just found out another combo for the K4 v2; fn+P+pgup to turn the page up key into printscreen, solving the issue of not having that button. So far everything about this keyboard has just work in Linux for me and I'm really liking it.
i use a mac with the K2 and there is a key between the volume/F12 and Delete key that triggers screenshot tool, I guess it's printScreen? I haven't tried on my pc so not positive
30 minute auto-sleep timer is helpful! Because of the default being 10 minutes, I have always had to choose between leaving it on and waking my keyboard 3-5 times a day, or turning it off and finding my keyboard dead because I forgot to turn it off. Thanks for the tips!!
If you don't want to have fancy lighting effects but just need backlit keys, you can hit fn+pageUp to turn the whole keyboard white. This works at least with the K8. Hit the same combination (fn+pageUp) to return to your previous effect.
Great video - One thing I noticed was the S.M.S.L in the background... I used to have one until I bought the Shitt Magni and Modi, I, you absolutely should get them, they are a major upgrade. They are currently on sale I believe.
My cats always press the "change light pattern button" and I was tired of restoring my preferred light pattern by pressing the pattern button many times a day. Blocking light patterns was very helpful, thnx.
I've had this keyboard for months and was kind of disappointed that the static light was only white. Did not know about holding the fn key and selecting the arrow key to change the colors. Thank you!!!
I've been in the deepest rabbit hole trying to understand QMK and VIA and how to customize my lighting on my Keychron Q2 Pro keyboard, if you could make a tutorial about this i would be infinitely grateful
I for sure found some usefull information here so thank you for that. Here is some constructive criticis, the loudness level of the music drowns out your voice and makes it difficult to follow the video because i have to control volume a bunch when the music comes on. The music is fine, simply too loud making overall volume for your voice to quite.
Thanks for your feedback! This video is almost 2 years old, and definitely always working to improve the audio. I think if you checked out some of my later videos you'd see major improvement in that department. Cheers!
I have a *Keychron k3*. The *Disable Auto-Sleep* tip is very nice solution for fast auto-sleep problem in my model. Disable Auto-Sleep FN+S+O Thanks for share this tips.
You're probably the first to show how to change the speed of rgb lighting on the Keychron's keyboard. I have watched lots of videos for a long time but no one has shown exactly how to change the speed.👍👍👍
Thank you a lot for this excellent video! You gave me back my long-missed INS-key on my K2. 😊 Just one hint: at least by me your voice is in comparison to the music a little low - but that is just my personal opinion. Thank you again and please keep providing such HQ-content! 👍👍
Hey, great video and really clean production. Just as some constructive criticism, the bits after your title cards (first at around 0:16) where your music was still fading out but you were trying to talk over it it was a bit jarring. it made me want to turn down the volume so I could hear you, but obviously that wouldn't have helped.
Thanks for watching and thanks for your feedback. I definitely noticed that as well, I'm going to be continually working on my audio. Just posted a new video that I think has some improvement in that regard!
I have the K1, and I have made a little wig type thingy that I shove under the light bulb key. I use just one RGB setting (one plain color) which I periodically change with Fn+Lft and Fn+Rght. I hate it when I accidentally hit this light bulb key which gives me some freaking light show.. so that's why I immoboilzed it.
Great video. I'm currently using the K8. Love it. One thing I can't figure out is how can I use the screenshot key in Windows? Works great in OSX. Since there's no VIA support for K8, I've tried other softwares, but can't find one I can remap with screenshot.
I actually have a problem pairing my Keychron K4 to my new PC. I tried everything but nothing works. I tried it on a much older PC and it worked instantly idk whats the problem
Great info. Thank you! I have just moved from an Alice-style kybd to a normal K10, and have a lot of adjusting to do. One question: for Mac, locking the F=keys to functions (fn + K + C) doesn't do a thing on my K10. Do you have any suggestions for how to get it to lock so I can adjust sound volume without having to use fn+F10/F11/F12?
Recently I bought the Keychron V1 Keyboard and I want to disable the function keys to work when I tap them (they automatically work even if I'm not hitting fn which I do not like).
Thanks for this great video. Question: If you do the change to having the media keys become the default, can you still use them as F keys? Will fn + F11 work? How would that happen?
Everything works pretty well. There is only one issue with me with keychrone k3v2. When my AirPods pro connected with MacBook then the input lags a lot. Does anyone know the solution? Thanks
I wanna buy a Keychron C2, but I love using my current pc media section for pausing and playing media while im in a game, I dont see a pause option on keychron?
I used the program SharpKeys to do exactly this - free, small, and recommended by keychron. Set up the key substitution, click 'write to registry', and restart your computer. Program doesn't need to run after setup because its a regedit. Easy enough to undo with the program as well. Another option is AutoHotKey but it isn't quite as easy and needs to run on startup. The screenshot key on keychrons is the print screen key (Special: PrtSc (E0_37)). Hope this helps
Moving the keyboard from on place to another i pressed one button on accident now my lights are stuck on... and i cant fix it its pissing me off. Ive tried fn+s+o for 4 seconds but it doesnt do anything:|
Can anyone help me? I bought a second hand K3. I checked almost all the key before I bought, but I realize the UP Arrow Key is not working after a week of buying it. There is no guarentee, and I don't want to bother with the seller as he only sold it to me for 40 bucks. The problem is the UP Arrow Key is not working. I tried swap the switch with del key and many other keys but it doesn't work. So I thought that the PCB just die. But then I found that the PCB on which upon this key is not dead yet. Because when I hold the key and then switch between Bluetooth/Cable mode, the key registered, but only once time only. when I stop holding it, it won't work again. I think you guys know how to fix this. I tried updating firmware and the problem still there. Please help.

and to go back to rgb is fn + page down?
@@lucasduarte1603fn + page up again. "Hit the same combination to return to your previous effect" 😉
Does not work on keychron k8 pro though
@@ClonnyGayms thanks for the info!
do u know how to do that on V4 lol ?
I just got a k7 and this video was vary informational, detailed, and easy to follow, liked and followed with notifications on
I was looking for a solution to switch between the function and media keys for so long. Thanks for helping me!
Does it auto activate All fn keys or just the media keys?
hi there. Im just about to do this, can you stil use the keys as F1,F2 etc by holding down the Fn key at the same time?

I totally didn't know all of these, like the simple way to change the speed of the backlighting. Thanks and great video!
Thank you, The auto sleep which feels like it turns off after 1 minute was super annoying.
This is nice tips and whole world have to know!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the tips, I wanted to unlock the lighting (I completely forgot how I locked it one year ago lol).

Any shortcut to disable windows key while gaming?

Thanks for those tips ! Very useful
Super Helpful. Thank You!
There's a lot of information regarding Keychron in this video. Very nice! deserves a like!
BTW to change color on the K8 Pro it's fn+D
Thank you. Most of these I did not know. I have a K10, and I love it.
My only complaint is, I wish the backlight had a timeout. And the timeout was adjustable.
thank you bro
Nice video, unfortunatelly most shortcuts don't work on my Keychrone K8 Pro. Still, nice video
great video
Thanks!

Just subscribed now you are on 1K subs!
thanks for sharing this. very informative
thx but i think the new boxes include most of them now
brilliant.
Keychron users already have used the biggest shortcut by having a hotswap keyboard instead of a solder keyboard
does it remember the auto sleep changes after turning it off and back on?
thanks dude!
For K6 Pro, Enable N-Key Rollover by pressing "FN1" + "N" VERY IMPORTANT IF YOU'RE INTO THAT

Can we make the RGB brighter?!

I have the keychron and I think it would be awesome to find a way to make the delete key as a shortcut for screenshots!
you can re-map the pgup to printscreen, fn+p+pgup (3s until red flashes).
Stupid question but i want to be sure: changing speed of a rgb works on K8 (not pro) as well?
i binded my function key to something else and i cant change it back
Fn X L for toggle media keys doesnt work, just so you know

On my k8 tlk, How come F5&F6 are media default when RGB is running, but F key default when I turn the RGB off?
Fn + Arrow Keys are not working for me - any suggestions? The color won't change at all.
