Redragon K552 Key Switch Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

Replace defective key switches on a Redragon K552 keyboard using this guide.

If a specific key does not work properly when using the keyboard, it might be a malfunctioning key switch, or dust may have built up. After replacing the faulty key switches and cleaning the keyboard, the keyboard will operate properly again.

No special skills are required.

Use appropriate replacement switches with the keyboard. Any Outemu-brand key switch will work for this keyboard.

      • Unplug the keyboard from the computer.

      • Because this keyboard does not use a detachable cable, you will have to detach the cable from the PC directly.

      • The location of the cable depends on how you had installed the keyboard into the PC. (In my case, I have it installed on the rear of my PC next to my ethernet cable).

      • RGB lights indicate that power is running through the keyboard.

      • Make sure that no power is running through the keyboard during the replacement process.
