REPLACING KEYCAPS AND SWITCHES
For a full guide on how to remove keycaps and switches scan the QR Code or type in your browser: https://epomaker.com/blogs/guides/diy-guide-how-to-remove-and-replace-your-mechanical-keyboard-switches

Install Switches

1. Check that all the switch metallic pins are perfectly straight and clean.
2. Align the switch vertically to have the Gateron logo facing north. The pins should align themselves to the keyboard PBC.
3. Press the switch down until you hear a click. This means your switch clips have attached themselves to the keyboard plate.
4. Inspect the switch to ensure it’s properly attached to your keyboard, and test it.

Remove Switches

1. Grab your Switch Removal Tool and align the gripping teeth vertically (on the Y-Axis) at the center of the switch, as shown in the example graphic above.
2. Grab the switch with the Switch Puller and apply pressure until the switch releases itself from the plate.
3. Using firm but gentle force pull the switch away from the keyboard using a vertical motion.

Note:
If the key doesn’t work its possible you may have bent one of the switches while installing it. Pull the switch out and repeat the process. Pins may be damaged beyond repair and need replacement if this process is not done correctly. Never apply excessive force when replacing keycaps or switches. If you cannot remove or install keycaps or switches please contact customer service as soon as possible to avoid damage to the keyboard due to operating errors.
