The keycap stabilizers on the Razer Tartarus V2, model number RZ07-02270100-R3U1, can wear out after the keys are clicked many times or too aggressively. This causes the keys to get stuck as the stabilizers are what push them back up after a "click". This replacement guide is designed to help you replace your Keycap stabilizer and extend the overall lifespan of your device.
