Introduction

If your NuPhy Halo 65 has a broken or scratched back panel, you can replace it to make your keyboard look better and stay protected. The back panel is what covers the inside of the keyboard (including all the important wires and the PCB), so it’s important to put it on the right way. In this guide, you will learn simple steps to take off the old panel and put on a new one.

Make sure there are no other issues with your keyboard. Here are some of the troubleshooting steps to look over before replacing.

Before you start, switch off everything and unplug the keyboard from all power sources.

Latch the switch puller onto the switch, and squeeze lightly for grip.
Make sure to apply the puller to the top and bottom edges of the switch.
Once secure, pull to remove the switch.
During reassembly, don't press too hard on the switch, as this will cause the pins to bend. To fix bent pins, simply grab a pair of small tweezers or pliers and bend them straight, then repeat the process more gently.
