Einleitung

In this guide, I will show the process of repairing and replacing keycap switches on the GK61 Keyboard mechanical keyboard.

Over a period of time, though keyboards look fine on the exterior, the little crevices collect hair, oils and dust which will affects its performance. This guide will show how easy it is to repair your mechanical keyboard.

    • Using a hand held vacuum cleaner remove any excess dust, hair, and oils.

    • Tilting your keyboard will also help for a deeper clean
