Wooting 60HE Keycap Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

Often times with many keyboards, especially this one, certain keys may experience a lag, or may just not register at all. The majority of the time, it is due to debris being present inside the keyboard, preventing the proper connection when a key is pressed. In this guide, we will be going through a detailed step-by-step process on how to replace a Wooting 60HE keycap.

Wear gloves at all times during this replacement to help prevent the oils from your skin coming into contact with the keyboard's lubricant.

      • Hook the two metal brackets of the keycap puller at a slight angle on the corners of the key.

      • Slightly tug upwards, and the key should come out smoothly. Place the key to the side.

      • It is essential to be gentle; excessive force can cause cracks or scratches on the key.

      • Using tweezers, carefully extract debris from the exposed backboard of the keyboard.

      • Try to avoid the key nub, as it is lubricated, and outside contact can ruin it.

      • Gently pat around the white backboard of the keyboard with the cotton swab.

      • This will help get rid of any built up residue, oils, or any possible spills that could have occurred in the past.

      • Isopropyl alcohol can strip the lubricant on the key, so put emphasis on dabbing the white backboard and not the key itself.

      • Line the keycap in the upright position above the nub and press down lightly.
