How to Switch Layers on a Keychron Keyboard?

Published in Keyboard Customization 2 mins read

Keychron keyboards offer multiple layers to access various functions and shortcuts. Switching between these layers is typically achieved using a dedicated key or a combination of keys.

Here's how to switch layers on a Keychron keyboard:

Using a Dedicated Layer Key:

  • Locate the Layer Key: Keychron keyboards usually have a dedicated key labeled with a number or symbol, such as "Fn," "Layer 1," or "Layer 2."
  • Press the Layer Key: Press and hold the layer key to activate the corresponding layer.
  • Press the Desired Key: While holding the layer key, press the desired key to access its alternate function.

Using a Key Combination:

  • Identify the Key Combination: Refer to your keyboard's manual or Keychron's website for the specific key combination used to switch layers.
  • Press the Keys Simultaneously: Press and hold the designated keys together to activate the desired layer.
  • Use the Alternate Functions: The keys on the activated layer will now provide their alternate functions.

Examples:

  • Keychron K2: The "Fn" key is used to switch between layers. Press and hold "Fn" and then press a key to access its alternate function.
  • Keychron K6: The "Fn" key is used to switch between layers. However, the "K6" model also includes a dedicated "Layer 1" key.

Remember: The specific methods and key combinations may vary depending on your Keychron keyboard model. Consult your user manual for accurate instructions.
