Title
Satechi Keyboards — Removing and replacing keys
Introduction
After a few years of use keys often start sticking, failing, or self-activating. This is typically due to gunk (dust, hairs, food particles, etc.) building up under the keys. [br]
[br]
Removing the keys on the Satechi keyboards often results in the armature detaching along with the key cap, and if may also separate into parts (making it difficult to know how to reassemble it). The following basic guide will show you how to piece the armature and keycap back together.
***ORIENTATION NOTES:*** In this guide "''Top''" is referring to edge furthest away from you if you're sitting at the keyboard with it positioned for use. This is the edge toward the Function (F) keys and number keys. "''Bottom''" refers to the edge closest to you—the edge of the keyboard with the spacebar.
