This guide will show how to remove the backplate from your HyperX Alloy Origins mechanical keyboard (serial number HX-KB6RDX and its variants).
The HyperX Alloy Origins mechanical keyboard, like many other keyboards, requires backplate removal before accessing many of its other internal components. Be sure to visit the troubleshooting page first before determining that a part needs to be replaced! Otherwise, this guide will help you in what is often the first step in repairing your HyperX Alloy Origins keyboard.
Before removing the backplate, make sure the keyboard is disconnected from your device and that the LED’s are not on. Avoid using excessive force during disassembly to prevent damaging any of the keyboard’s components. Work on a solid, hard surface, and ground yourself occasionally during disassembly to mitigate electrostatic discharge from your hands, which could damage internal keyboard components.
