Remove Keys off of keyboard

Nav · 28-January-07, 11:32 AM

Hey there. Was planning on modding my M$ Digital Media Pro keyboard with some EL wire underneath the keys (thanks Dex: http://forums.pcapex.com/other_moddi...light=keyboard) but I am unsure as to how to remove the keys without damaging them. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I used a ballpoint pen to do my G15 keys it work great for removing the keys. take a ballpoint pen and go just between each key and pry up easy and it should work for you .

thanks ranger, you've come to my rescue again. Im gonna try it right now..hopefully it wont be too hard to put the key back in! Thanks again.

EDIT: yup worked like a charm. The pen was a little hard to do it with, but a small screwdriver worked even better! Thanks again.

Yes anytime there easy mine just snap in i am pretty sure yours do the same, What i do is take my left hand finger and hold the key in place and with the other hand take the ballpoint pen and pry it up while i am still hold the key with my finger as so it will not go flying.

Ps. i forgot to mention make sure you take some close up pictures of where your keys are suspose to go so you do not forget there place when replacing them.
