Received my keyboard today. A lot of good... a bit of bad... Mostly good, though! Build quality and appearance are excellent. It's a beautiful keyboard, and beautifully made. It's a joy to type on (I got Kailh box browns).

Here's what I've been able to figure out so far (I use this on a Mac):

FN + M (hold 2-3 seconds) = Mac Mode/Windows Mode Toggle (CapsLock flashes when toggled)

FN + Top Row key (1 through =) = F1 through F12

FN + Delete = Sound mute/unmute toggle

FN + PgUp = Increase sound volume

FN + PgDn = Decrease sound volume

FN + Backslash = Cycle through lighting effects

FN + Esc = Solid color backlight

FN + Enter = Change color of backlight

FN + Down Arrow = Decrease lighting brightness (Turn all the way down for OFF)

FN + Up Arrow = Increase lighting brightness

FN + Left Arrow = Increase speed of some lighting effects

FN + Right Arror = Decrease speed of some lighting effects

FN + Spacebar = Freeze some lighting effects (Lights stay on, animation stops)

FN + CapsLock = Change color of CapsLock indicator
(TIP: Turn CapsLock ON first to see what color you are selecting.)

LED under `/~ (Backtick/Tilde) = Battery indicator. Pulsates green while charging, Pulsates red when battery is low.

Reset the keyboard (Hold 4 corner keys: Esc + Tilde + Control + Right Arrow)

Hold FN + Backspace for 2 seconds until Backspace flashes = Enter record mode to save a profile. While in record mode you can cycle through the color of each keys backlight until you get the color you want. FN + Backspace = Exit record mode and save profile. FN + Backspace = Recall saved profile.
NOTE: This will let you edit and save 1 profile. There's a way to edit and save 2 profiles using the FN+PgUp and FN+PgDn keys. Haven't figured that out just yet!

FN + Tab = Is supposed to set light sleep time, but I can't get it to work! Caps light flashes once for sleep after 2 minutes. Caps light flashes twice for sleep after 30 minutes. Caps light flashes 3 times for no sleep.

The yellow accent keys look nice... UNTIL you turn on any lighting effects. The light shines through the yellow plastic in spots.

Bluetooth:

FN + R = Toggle Bluetooth on/off (Q key backlight flashes while waiting to be paired)
Mac displays a code to type on the keyboard to pair. (Q backlight goes out when paired)
I've not had much luck with Bluetooth yet. Disconnects as soon as I unplug USB. (Edit: DUH! Turn switch on bottom of keyboard ON before unplugging!) (Another edit: Switch is not the entire problem. Still having problems getting Bluetooth to connect and stay connected!)

(Edit again: Updated command list with additional functions from translated manual)

jimdkcThe commands list helped me a ton, thanks for sharing! I'm having the same exact backlighting issues as you and my Bluetooth doesn't seem to work at all. Hopefully there's something else I'm missing but I appreciate the effort you took! edit: Eventually got Bluetooth to work Translated manual available here https://drop.com/talk/70209/back-of-manual-translated-by-google-translate-android?utm_source=linkshare&referer=QWP68C fn+enter will change the color and fn+backspace is actually saved profiles that you seem to be able to edit

ApplePiayaAh! FN + Enter! That's the main command I was missing. Thanks. Thanks for the manual translation, too. By the way, Blue, Green, and Aqua backlight don't shine through the Yellow Accent keys. I kinda like a dim, blue backlight. I've ordered a few Kailh Box White key switches to play with. Gonna make the CapsLock clicky! This is a fun keyboard. I think I'm going to like it a lot!

jimdkcI think I was wrong about FN + R for Bluetooth. I think you can pair up to 3 devices using FN + Q, FN + W, and FN +E... Although I've only been able to get FN +Q to work right, so far. But it is pretty easy and reliable just paired to one device. Will try to pair with others later... Also there should be a way to program the 2 saved profiles using FN + PgUp and FN + PgDn... But I haven't figured that one out yet either. Below is the text of a manual that I found online back in November. It's a poor translation, so it's tricky to follow! ------------------------------------------------------------ User manual Function description: 1.

jimdkcFigured out the Sleep Time Setting. It's hard to see the CapsLock flashing if the backlights are on. Therefore, press FN + Esc to exit any animation, then press FN + Enter repeatedly until the backlights turn OFF. Press FN + Tab. The CapsLock backlight will flash 1 to 3 times indicating the sleep setting: 1 Flash = 2 minutes 2 Flashes = 30 minutes 3 Flashes = No Sleep Press FN + Tab again until you get the setting you want. I think the only thing I haven't quite figured out yet is how to program and save 2 different light profiles. I can program and save 1, but not both!

jimdkcI'm planning to buy this nj68 keyboard to be a travel keyboard with my macbook air M1. Can you put this keyboard directly on top of the macbook keyboard? Would the feet bump-ons interfere with any keys on the macbook keyboard? I really appreciate your feedback :)

jasonnnI can't say I've ran into that issue... is there anything in your OS settings that might change that? I've used it on MacOS and Android and haven't seen that but I'm just a user :)
