04. Swapping Keycaps

Swapping Keycaps

There are 2 ways to do this !

  1. You can ever so gently grab them from the top and bottom (width wise), and wiggle them out gently.
  2. You can unscrew the screws and remove the 1st layer of acrylic then:
    • Using 2 coins of similar size pry the keycap off, again from the top and bottom.
    • Start with the directional caps as they give you more space to manuver for the first fewy until you get a rythem.
    • We recomend placing a piece of paper between the prying tool and the next level of acrylic to ensure that you don't accidentalty scratch it with the tool of choice.
    • Lastly, make sure you don’t over tighten the screws else you risk cracking the acrylic. If you see the shadow of a lighthning like pattern under the screw, loosen it until it disappears.
