REMOVE KEYCAP Use the keycap puller tool to clamp on a keycap and pull upwards to detach keycap with switch. Sometimes the switch may come out as well if the keycap is secured tightly on switch, which is normal. For longer keys such as the space bar, always clamp and remove from the MIDDLE of the keycap. 2. REMOVE SWITCH Use the switch puller to push in the two tabs located on the top and bottom side of the switch. Once they are pushed in, pull upwards to remove switch from keyboard case. Warning: It is very easy to scratch your keyboard case with this tool, so take caution when removing switches! 3. READJUST PINS. When inserting a new switch, first make sure it is compatible (see switch requirements). Inspect the copper pins on bottom of switch and that they are perfectly straight. Sometimes due to shipping, or improper insertion, the pins can be easily bent. The pins can be easily straightened back out with tweezers/ pliers (available via all our switch boxes.)me Moen: Ue|e MG AecMeUON Ce) 08 4, INSERT SWITCH Align switch to holes on the keyboard, and insert straight down. There should be minimal resistance and the switch should pop into the frame of the keyboard. It is recommended at this time to have a text-editor on your PC open to make sure the switch works when you press it. You could also set the LED mode on keyboard to REACTIVE MODE (see page 10), and the switch should light up when you press it It is safe to swap switches while your keyboard is plugged in to your PC. If the switch does not light up, or register a key on your PC when you press it then the switch was not inserted properly. Remove switch, and make sure pins are straight then insert again 5. INSERT KEYCAP Once you have confirmed the switch was properly inserted, snap back in the appropriate keycap.The GMMK is designed to work the following switch brands: Cherry, Gateron, Kalih We currently sell Gateron compatible switches on our website. Although other brands of switches will fit, they may be loose or have a tighter fit than normal. There are several types of Cherry/Gateron/Kalih switches available. These are the specific requirements for the type of switches that are compatible. SWITCH REQUIREMENTS. CHERRY / GATERON / KALIH BRANDED Zealio switches also work (plate mounted). Other brands may be compatible but their fit on the keyboard may vary. SMD LED COMPATIBLE SWITCHES This is optional if you want to have the backlight function, as a non LED switch would block the light. Non LED switches can be modified by user to support SMD LEDs. For the best LED performance, a SMD-LED such as the ones made by Gateron are recommended 09The GMMK keyboard is also compatible with our software to tweak your keyboard to your needs.
