• Dust Removal: Use compressed air to remove dust and debris from between the keycaps and switches.
• Keycap Cleaning: For deeper cleaning, keycaps can be removed using the provided keycap puller and washed with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching.

5.2. Switch Replacement (Hot-Swap)

The WIN60 HE features hot-swappable switches, allowing you to easily replace or customize them without soldering.

• Use the included switch puller to carefully remove existing switches. Grip the switch firmly with the puller and gently rock it while pulling upwards.
• Align the pins of the new Hall Effect switch with the holes on the PCB. Ensure the pins are straight to avoid bending.
• Gently press the new switch into place until it clicks securely. Do not force the switch if it doesn't go in smoothly; check pin alignment.
