4.2 핫스왑 가능 스위치
The Keychron Q4 features a hot-swappable PCB, allowing you to change mechanical switches without soldering. It supports most 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style mechanical switches (e.g., Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda).
스위치 교체:
- 제공된 키캡 제거 도구를 사용하여 키캡을 조심스럽게 제거하십시오.
- Use the switch puller to gently grip the switch and pull it straight up from the PCB.
- 새 스위치의 핀을 PCB의 구멍에 맞추세요. 핀이 구부러지지 않도록 똑바로 놓으세요.
- 새 스위치를 딸깍 소리가 날 때까지 단단히 눌러 넣으세요.
- 키캡을 교체하세요.

4.3 Double-Gasket Design and Internal Foams
The Q4 incorporates a double-gasket design, which enhances typing flexibility and improves the overall sound profile. Additionally, sound-absorbing and case foams are installed internally to reduce resonance and noise between metal components. Each keyboard component is designed for easy reassembly, allowing for further customization.

5. 유지관리
5.1 키보드 청소
최적의 성능과 외관을 유지하려면 정기적인 청소가 권장됩니다.
- 키캡: Use the keycap puller to remove keycaps. Clean them with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then rinse thoroughly and allow them to dry completely before reattaching.
- 키보드 본체: 부드럽고 보푸라기가 없는 천을 사용하여 약간 dampened with water or a gentle cleaning solution, to wipe down the aluminum frame. Avoid excessive moisture.
- 키 사이: 스위치 사이의 먼지와 이물질을 제거하려면 압축 공기를 사용하십시오. 잘 떨어지지 않는 이물질은 작은 브러시를 사용할 수도 있습니다.
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the keyboard's finish or components.
6. 문제 해결
6.1 키가 응답하지 않음
- 연결성 확인: USB-C 케이블이 키보드와 컴퓨터에 단단히 연결되어 있는지 확인하세요. 다른 USB 포트나 케이블을 사용해 보세요.
- Verify OS Switch: Confirm the macOS/Windows switch is set to the correct operating system.
- 스위치 검사: If individual keys are not responding, carefully remove the keycap and then the switch using the switch puller. Inspect the switch pins for any bends or damage. Straighten bent pins gently with tweezers or replace the switch if damaged. Reinsert the switch firmly.
- QMK/VIA Configuration: If keys are remapped incorrectly, check your keymap configuration in the VIA software.
6.2 백라이트 문제
- 밝기 조정: Ensure the backlight brightness is not set to its lowest level. Use the designated key combinations (often Fn + arrow keys or similar) to adjust brightness.
- 소프트웨어 제어: If using QMK/VIA, verify that lighting settings are correctly configured.
6.3 Keyboard Not Recognized by Computer
- 컴퓨터를 다시 시작합니다. 간단히 재시작하면 연결 문제가 해결되는 경우가 많습니다.
- 다른 컴퓨터에서 시도해 보세요. Test the keyboard on a different computer to determine if the issue is with the keyboard or the original computer's setup.
- 펌웨어 업데이트 : Check the Keychron website for any available firmware updates for the Q4 model. Follow the instructions carefully for firmware installation.
