Introduction
If your Corsair K60 Pro TKL RGB keyboard keys are sticking, unresponsive, or physically damaged, use this guide to replace the keycaps. Replacing these components is necessary when keys become stuck due to debris or when you wish to customize the aesthetic of your device with a new set of caps.
The keycaps serve as the physical interface between your fingers and the mechanical switches. A faulty or damaged keycap can cause keys to feel sluggish or fail to return to their original position after being pressed.
Before using this guide, inspect the area around the affected keys for any visible obstructions or sticky residue that may be hindering movement. Typically, a small buildup of grime can be cleared using isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth without needing a full replacement. Be sure to test the keyboard on a flat surface to confirm that the keys are seated properly and that the issue is not caused by a warped keyboard frame.
Step 3 requires you to use an opening tool to gently pry the keycaps away from the switch stems. From there, you will need to lift the cap vertically to avoid bending the underlying switch housing or the stabilizer bars on larger keys.
Before beginning, make sure to unplug your keyboard from your computer and disconnect it from any external power source to ensure the safety of the internal electronics.
