-Wired hotswap PCB refresh Guide

Press ESC key not release, and then unplug USB-C cable, and then plug USB-C cable, then release ESC key, there will show a "WIND_STUDIO(H)" driver on your computer list, then drag this uf2 file into "WIND_STUDIO(H)" this driver. Then it will refresh successfully.

-How to switch wired/2.4G/bluetooth mode for tri-mode hotswap PCB

Pls make sure the battery switch is up to on when use 2.4G/bluetoooth mode

2.4G Mode:

①Pair it first(make sure the keyboard close to the 2.4g receiver when code first time):long press(about 3 seconds) FN+R,the green light will flash quickly,then plug in 2.G receiver, the green light will keep 3 seconds and then off if pairing is successful.The green light will flash quickly 30 seconds and then off if pairing is not successful.
