Additional Functions
Remove Keycaps
Before removing a switch, first remove the keycap. To do this, place the arms of the keycap puller tool either to the left or right or to the top or bottom of the keycap, and then pull the keycap upwards with careful but constant pressure. Whenever possible, avoid pulling the keycaps from the switch directly with your fingers, as this may damage the switch.
Remove Switches
Once you have removed the keycap from the switch, position the switch puller tool correctly on the tabs of the switch. These are positioned at the front and the back of the switch. Before pulling out the switch, make sure that both tabs are securely pressed with the switch puller tool and that the switch can be removed from the socket without resistance. If necessary, remove the adjacent keycaps to allow the switch puller tool sufficient freedom of movement. After you have removed the keycap, press both tabs of the switch with the switch puller tool and then slowly pull the switch out of the socket. Be sure to always pull vertically from the socket in a straight, upward direction. Avoid pulling in a slanted direction, as this can result in damage.
Install Switches
To install the switches, position the switch so that one tab is at the front and the other tab is at the back. Each pin on the underside of the switch should be pointing exactly to its relevant contact in the keyboard socket. Make sure that the switch is led vertically Sharkoon SKILLER SGK50 S3 into the socket opening (at a 90-degree angle to the socket). Installing the switch incorrectly can lead to damage or malfunction of the switch. After you have placed the switch in its socket, push very gently on the switch to secure it in place. Make sure that you do not use too much force, as this can damage or destroy fragile components.
