1. What you will need to remove keycaps from your mechanical keyboard: #
In order to remove the keycaps from your mechanical keyboard, you will need a few tools.
The first is a keycap puller.
If you don’t have a keycap puller, check out our guide on removing keycaps by hand here.
This is a small tool that helps to remove the keycaps from the keyboard without damaging them. We include keycap pullers in all of our keycap kits.
The second tool is optional: a wire brush.
This will help remove any dirt or debris that may be stuck on the keycaps.
2. The process of keycap removal: #
Once you have gathered all of the necessary tools, you can begin the process of removing the keycaps from your keyboard.
First, locate the keycap that you want to remove. Gently insert the edge of the keycap puller under the edge of the keycap.
Apply pressure to the keycap to release it from the keyboard.
Repeat this process for all of the keycaps that you want to remove.
3. Tips for removing keycaps. #

– Use a keycap puller for best results and to avoid damaging the keycaps or keyboard.
