Pulling Keycaps

If you’ve messed up your keycap placement, need to pull out the PCBA, or you want to install a brand new set of keycaps, it’s time to master the art of keycap pulling.

Your 80HE TenZ Takeover Edition came with a special 'keycap & switch puller', a tool that functions both as a keycap- and switch puller. Make sure to use the right side of the tool (the side that says 'keycap) and follow the instructions below.

1.

Align the puller over the keycap and push down. Make sure it *clicks* on both sides.

2.

Pull with one hand straight up. With your other hand hold down the keyboard.

Pulling Switches

Did you get new switches? Grab the ‘keycap & switch puller’ that came with your keyboard. Don’t be a fool, use the side of the tool that says ‘switch’.

Carefully grip the north (top) and south (bottom) sides of the switch.
