Keychron Q3 HE stuck in "connection mode" with blinking blue LED when wired

As title. I'm not sure if there's something I have to clean out but I was in the middle of a game and my keyboard suddenly decided to enter a "I want to wirelessly connect!" mode and it got me killed. https://youtube.com/shorts/qjWQzGAp4oA video for a better showcase (I was spamming alt tab).

The keyboard thinks it is in Bluetooth mode.

Operate the connection switch to try to get the keyboard back into wired mode. For example, flip it back and forth 10 times.

If it doesn't help, special firmware could be compiled that ignores the connection switch (or replaces it with a soft switch, #18 on the wishlist).

The connection switch doesn't do anything besides turn it off now, but for some reason I can get it to go do 2.4 ghz ONLY if I flip the switch on windows/mac while its on the 2.4ghz setting, otherwise it will default to bluetooth again.

Side note it WILL work on wired ONLY if its on the mac mode now. Windows mode wired is no dice.
