Introduction

If your Wooting 60 HE keyboard doesn't print the letter or prints several times, use this guide to replace the faulty switch.

The keyboard switch senses the pressure applied to the key pressed, exporting to the computer by electric signal.

Before using this guide, make sure that the USB port of your computer or the keyboard is not broken by using other keyboards or other technical materials. Typically, the switch might cause errors due to dust or external particles, so make sure you clean up your keyboard before changing the switch.

Before beginning, make sure to power off your keyboard completely and disconnect from any external power source.
