"make sure that you go out for a run or a jog on a regular basis" Second best advice in this vid, right after proper keyboard maintenance. Going for a walk/jog/run kept me alive in the second half of 2020.
This was so helpful! I’m a beginner and I watched this and now I can already remove keycaps from m razer huntsman mini and put Japanese keycaps on! Thx so much
I have insane insomnia and fell down a rabbit hole of videos and this was very interesting and very helpful because now I want to change my keycaps I loved the video
Thanks for this video! I needed to see your video, in order to switch my keycaps for the first time. I got the Razer white set, and it's a world of difference from the stock ABS that I've been using. I have Cherry MX blue switches and the difference in sound alone is amazing, and the texture of my Razer set of keycaps is Great! Thanks for suggesting the "One at a time" method, that's how I did it, after I watched your video. I found out that my Drevo Blademaster TE came w/lubed stabilizers in the process of changing the keycaps, I'm addicted to PBT now! Thank you again!
What version of the Razer keyboard did you get? Not the colour like what's it called cause I've been meaning to find one that I can actually change the keycaps
Thanks for the information. I have a keyboard given to me, a fancy gamer one, and the W key is dead. Problem is all of the hidden screw to get it apart. Not knowing the keys pop off I was stumped. An needed to see under the keys, to find more hidden screws. Not anymore... The keys pop off. I never had one of these before so I did not know.
This is more of a "watch me change my keycaps" than a "How to Change or Remove Your Keyboard Keycaps." For those of us brand-new to mechanical keyboards and changing keycaps, it would've been so much more helpful to actually *demonstrate* how to remove the keycaps -- especially the longer ones like Shift and Spacebar. The 1u keycaps are easy, since the keycap puller just grabs both sides underneath and a gentle tug upward removes the keycap. But the longer ones are scary for those of us who've never removed keycaps before. (I've never removed any in my 41 years of using computers -- my first computer was a Commodore 64, back in 1983).
Hi, I have a question. I used a wire keycap puller to remove my GMK set. However, no matter how gentle I pulled or wiggled the keys while pulling, there were always indents on the bottom of the keys. Any technique to avoid this? Thank you!
Hey, thank you so much for your video. I really I’m gonna subscribe and follow you because I just recently gotten into the world of keyboards and switches and such and I took the plunge and I bought the Mchose 99 keyboard Amazon, and now I am at a loss because I absolutely am in love with the MOA key caps and I’m not sure what to purchase because I don’t want to buy the wrong layout or the wrong type for my specific keyboard and waste money if you can give me any kind of pointer as to what I should be looking for in terms of the specifics before I purchase the wrong product I would be so grateful🌸
I'm fairly new to mech keyboards, I have keychron with abs. I want to change my keycaps to something I've found online but the material is pbt. Can I put pbt keycaps on my mech keyboard? sorry if it sounds stupid i'm just really new to this hobby.
Yes you can. Abs and pbt are the type of plastic. Make sure they are compatible with your switches though. If they are cherry mx compatible they fit on gaterons and many other cherry clones
I tried removing the space bar but it doesn't come out, instead, the plastic key remover kept slipping and leaving marks on the space bar. my switches are outemu blues, I don't know if it makes a difference.
Does that black keycap puller usually damage the keycaps because I'm very worried to use them on my keyboard from what ppl have been saying be out them how they scratch the keycaps is this true?
@@SwitchandClickOfficial those are nice. im trying to find a backlit one. how do you like your drop ctrl? i just got mine a few days ago but no keycaps. picking the pink ones up tomorrow from best buy then im set.
@Switch and Click do you know if you can take the key caps off the game onn keyboard if you do can you please tell me and can you do a review on it please
@@SwitchandClickOfficial ell my keyboard is the NPET K60 and it doesnt look like they have switches if so they are whiteand i was thinking on geting like some type of nice pink and blue keys
i want to buy pink one .. but some videos says bleeding is to much in night. so much that you are left with just green or pink keyboard. Update: felling good and looks really nice. But you can only use red backlight rest all colours looks green. Buy white one for rgb effects , i like single static colour so its perfect for me.
im using an HP keyboard and it turns out the longer keycaps that used stabilizer is incompatible with the keycaps that i bought. is there a hack to troubleshoot it :(
I have the Razer Ornata chroma (ISO Nordic), does the keycaps youre using in the video fit? Like in generel, how do you know if the keycaps fit the keyboard you have? Im really new at this, so i just looove your videoes theyre so informative in this keyboard-jungle! xD
I am looking at doing what you did on this video but for the Keychron K4. Your K4 review does show you replaced most keys with the pink Razers as well but not sure if you left the rest just because you liked it that way or because of size incompatibilities. Which Keychron keys will NOT be replaceable by the Razers because of size difference?
I’m a starter and I have a keyboard in mind witch is the blue cat toroto keyboard with the creamy switches so yeah: if u have a idea to start please comment on my comment how to start becuase I have no idea
My computer has the worst keyboard all my keys are not even pushed out like that. its dusty, And It just does not sound that good- And the spacebar is super annoying and loud!!!!
Accidentally bought the wrong keyboard lolol I got the xinmeng pink gaming keybord that has circle keycaps and I'm pretty sure I can't change em coz of the switch or whatever u call it pls help my dad's gonna kill me if I say I got the wrong one,_,
review my very first mechanical keyboard,Mage Gee MK1,Its maybe one of the Cheapest MECHANICAL Keyboard right now....but i think its quality is Ver Good
All that ranting and no mention of the different types close up of some would’ve been gold... key caps are not universal, and I learned the hard way. No instructions on how to actually remove the key caps. Very poor video.. keep searching. This video isn’t it
Indeed, it's pretty bad to use this kind of puller as it'll get all your keycaps scratched. I'm using a plastic-coated wire instead and it works perfectly.
Hello! I’m very very new in keyboards, and I’m thinking about getting one. So in amazon I picked keycaps, (60% PBT Keycaps Set Sakura Japanese Korean OEM for MX Switches Mechanical Keyboard ANSI Layout GH60 RK61/ALT61/Annie/poker GK61 GK64 Ducky one 2 Mini (Keycaps Only) (Korean) is the name on amazon) So do I have to buy the keyboard and replace the keycaps? And in the name, theres a lot of keyboard names kike “GH60, RK61” are they all the same sized keyboard?

your cat is just a mood. Thank you for the tips! I might customize my old RK61 and my new Keychrone V8 :)
Cool, do you need to turn off the keyboard or you can install switches while the keyboard's ON?
Thank you.

Can you change key caps on all mechanical keyboards? Just curious before I buy one from Amazon and can’t change the key caps on it
Yes, yes you can

Any switches with a cross-shaped stem, which is pretty much all mechanical switches
