Title
HyperX Alloy Origins Key Switch LED Replacement
Introduction
This guide will show how to replace the ***mechanical key switch LEDs*** from your ***HyperX Alloy Origins*** mechanical keyboard (serial number HX-KB6RDX and its variants).
The HyperX Alloy Origins mechanical keyboard provides RGB lighting to each of its keys through switch-mounted LEDs. Therefore, it is necessary to remove an entire key switch whenever its corresponding LED needs to be replaced.
Before beginning LED replacement, be sure to visit the [link|https://www.ifixit.com/Wiki/HyperX_Alloy_Origins_Troubleshooting|troubleshooting page|new_window=true] before making permanent changes to the PCB! This guide should only be used in the event that one or more keys do not light up while the remaining key LEDs are properly functioning.
Usage of a desoldering iron or a desoldering pump (alongside a normal soldering iron) is strongly recommended. The HyperX key switches contain pins which make it difficult to wick away solder. This guide uses a sole soldering iron for demonstration purposes only.
