How to Pull Off Keycaps

We’re going to go through the rest of this with the assumption that you’re using the keycap puller I suggested in the last slide. Honestly, if you’re doing anything with mechanical keyboards, get yourself that cheap little tool. It will save you a world of headaches.
You’ll want to start pulling out each of the individual keycaps to tackle the grittiness that lives below. Before you start, make sure you have a separate area to place your keys down in a way that mirrors the exact alignment you have on your keyboard. You should also snap a photo of the keyboard before it’s stripped clean. The worst is trying to remember where every key goes from memory.
