  • Hope this helps because it helped me. Don't be afraid to use a bit of force to pry them off. Just a bit. They won't break I promise.

    thanks man, my space has been sticky for ages and mashing it doesn't do anything. i never knew the clips had to be a certain way around. I used a guitar plectrum to take them off, worked really well!

    Hi man, my "R" button was detached by itself, I was tried to adjust it like your way, but it never sounds "click". Should I buy the new button first? Had you experienced the same problem?

    • @TheSleepySlayer
      @TheSleepySlayer  Před 3 lety +6

      check the hooks under the key. if you have more than 1 broken hook, yes buy another one but if 3 are still in good working order you’ll be able to set the key back on properly and it should work fine. just make sure you hook it properly and remove any broken pieces off the key so they don’t interfere when u put it back

    I am learning Russian and saw a set of keycaps on aliexpress with English/Russian. I was scared to replace the whole thing but I saw your video and I think with patience it looks doable. Do you still think I should do it?

    • @TheSleepySlayer
      @TheSleepySlayer  Před 3 lety +1

      I took apart my entire keyboard and put it back and works just like new. it’s definitely doable, it’s on you wether you want Russian keys. just make sure they keys are the right type for whatever model u have, they could be different idk

    The shift key. Are both sides the same? I’m very familiar with taking off letter keys, but I’m having issues with the shift key. I hear the clips clicking, but it’s like it’s stuck to something.

    • @TheSleepySlayer

      Shift keys and larger keys have more than one hook. Make sure they all hook at the bottom first. Slide it up and down until it hooks then click the top in
