1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the ZUIDID 129-Key Metal Paint Mixed Colour Mechanical Keyboard Keycap Set. This set is designed to enhance your mechanical keyboard with a unique aesthetic and tactile experience. Featuring a durable metal construction and a vibrant paint mixed colour process, these keycaps offer both style and functionality. This manual provides essential information for the proper installation, use, and maintenance of your new keycaps.

Before installing your new keycaps, ensure your mechanical keyboard is powered off and disconnected from your computer. A keycap puller (not included) is highly recommended for safe removal of existing keycaps.
2.1 Package Contents
- 129 x Metal Paint Mixed Colour Keycaps
2.2 Installation Steps
- Prepare Your Keyboard: Power off your mechanical keyboard and unplug it from your computer.
- Remove Existing Keycaps: Carefully use a keycap puller to remove your current keycaps. Grip the keycap firmly and pull straight up to avoid damaging the switch stem.
- Clean Keyboard (Optional): This is an ideal time to clean any dust or debris from your keyboard's switches and plate.
- Install New Keycaps: Align each new ZUIDID keycap with the corresponding switch stem on your keyboard. Gently press down until the keycap is securely seated. Ensure the keycap is level and does not wobble.
- Verify Installation: Once all keycaps are installed, reconnect your keyboard and power it on. Test each key to ensure proper functionality and fit.
3. Operating Your Keycaps
The ZUIDID keycaps are designed to be a direct replacement for standard mechanical keyboard keycaps. Once installed, they function identically to your original keycaps, providing a unique visual and tactile experience. The metal construction offers a premium feel, while the paint mixed colour process creates a dynamic, iridescent effect that shifts with light and viewing angle.
4. Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your ZUIDID keycaps, follow these care instructions:
- Regular Cleaning: Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe down the keycaps and remove dust.
- Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, remove the keycaps from the keyboard. You can wash them gently with mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the paint finish. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely before re-installing.
- Avoid Excessive Force: When removing or installing keycaps, use appropriate tools and gentle force to prevent scratching or damaging the keycaps or keyboard switches.
- Storage: If storing keycaps, keep them in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve their finish.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Keycap Not Fitting or Loose
- Issue: A keycap does not fit onto the switch stem or feels loose.
- Solution: Ensure the keycap is correctly aligned with the cross-shaped stem of the mechanical switch. Apply gentle, even pressure. If it's still loose, check if the switch stem is damaged or if the keycap's stem opening is deformed.
5.2 Keycap Damage During Installation/Removal
- Issue: Keycap gets scratched or chipped during the process.
- Solution: Always use a proper keycap puller. Avoid using sharp objects or excessive force. If damage occurs, contact customer support for assistance.
5.3 Inconsistent Iridescent Effect
- Issue: The mixed colour effect appears dull or inconsistent.
- Solution: The iridescent effect is highly dependent on lighting conditions and viewing angle. Ensure you are viewing the keycaps under adequate and varied lighting. Clean the keycaps to remove any smudges or dust that might obscure the effect.
