Changing Switches
- Remove Keycap: Use the keycap puller tool (included in the package) to gently pull up the keycap you wish to remove.
- Remove Switch: Once the keycap is off, use the switch puller tool to grip the top and bottom clips of the switch. Gently pull the switch straight up to remove it from the PCB.
