  1. VeR6l2jJnC6BESRL

    • With key cap tweezers, align and grasp the edges of the keycap with force.

    • Once you have a firm grasp, push in and up.

  2. cKSnKkGrmf1PTRcL

    • After the keycap is off the keyboard from the center holder, simply pull up and place to the side.

    • Make sure to remember the orientation in which the keyboard was facing.

  3. rIYKKOGa6sIZvtQN

    • Use a spudger to realign the clip on the keyboard by simply pushing down on the side or center of the clip.

    • Make sure the clip is tucked in the center and both ends of the clip are parallel to each other making sure there is a keyboard wall inside the clip.

  4. 3fNW3gOKLAcDnaXt

    • Use either a dust cleaner or Co2 compressor to spray away any debris that may be inside the holder.

    • Make sure the clip does not fly away.

  5. WHCTok2wqZseV1EX

    • With a caliper, measure the diameter of the fitment on the keyboard.

    • The measurements can either be of the side wall or center clip.

    • You can also use a ruler for this step.

  6. Y1cLQAr1VaIoDqGv

    • Measure the diameter of fitment on the keycap.

    • They should be the same or off by .02+/- .

    • If the fitment is bigger or smaller than .02+/- do not try and force it in. This will cause keyboard issues.

    • You can also use a ruler for this step.

  7. vGHW2WoGrUGLDgIE

    • Add a drop of keyboard cap lubricant to make sure that any friction or shear pressure is dispersed evenly throughout the lifespan of the keycap.

  8. HUTKyPSeXUdm6NWP

    • Identify the orientation of which the keycap has to enter by noticing the clip holder on the keycap and the keyboard.

    • If the keyboard cap is OEM from Razer you do not need to worry about this step. The keycap contains a safety spacer that will not allow you to place it out of orientation.

  9. Dv2FdcBFyMmEIpdG

    • With a slight force press down and hold.

    • Once the keyboard has been clicked in successfully, enjoy your keyboard.
