Remove Keycaps
- Grab your Keycap Puller Tool and place it above the keycap you want to remove at a 90 degree angle.
- Push your Keycap Puller down until the metal hooks open themselves and grab the keycap from underneath.
- Grab your Keyboard firmly and pull the keycap in a vertical motion.
Install Keycaps
- Make sure the Keycap is properly oriented on your keyboard and place it above the switch.
- Push the keycap into the switch shaft firmly.
Remove Switches
- Grab your Switch Removal Tool and align the gripping teeth vertically (on the Y-Axis) at the center of the switch, as shown in the example graphic above.
- Grab the switch with the Switch Puller and apply pressure until the switch releases itself from the plate.
- Using firm but gentle force pull the switch away from the keyboard using a vertical motion.
Install Switches
- Check that all the switch metallic pins are perfectly straight and clean.
- Align the switch vertically to have the Gateron logo facing north. The pins should align themselves to the keyboard PBC.
- Press the switch down until you hear a click. This means your switch clips have attached themselves to the keyboard plate.
- Inspect the switch to ensure it’s properly attached to your keyboard, and test it.
Note: If the key doesn’t work it’s possible you may have bent one of the switches while installing it. Pull the switch out and repeat the process.
Pins may be damaged beyond repair and need replacement if this process is not done correctly. Never apply excessive force when replacing keycaps or switches. If you cannot remove or install keycaps or switches please contact customer service as soon as possible to avoid damage to the keyboard due to operating errors.
