Keyboard: Remove keys - how it works

Do you want to clean your keyboard thoroughly or replace a defective key? We explain what you need to consider when removing buttons.

Removing keys from a laptop keyboard

If you want to remove several keys at once, it is a good idea to first snap a picture of your keyboard. This means that every key will find the right place at the end.
The laptop keyboard is not as robust and parts break off quickly. You should therefore be particularly careful.
There are springs and plastic parts under the button. Be careful not to damage them.
Take two small slotted screwdrivers and slide one under the button on the left and the other on the right.
It is important that you only lift the outer edge.
If you now carefully pull up both screwdrivers, the button will be released.

Again, you should take a photo of the keyboard before removing multiple keys.
Now you can remove the desired buttons with a slotted screwdriver.
To do this, place the screwdriver under the edge of the button and carefully lift it up.
You can also tilt the screwdriver slightly to achieve leverage.
The button can now be easily released.
