How I usually do that - I am sliding a thin flat screw driver under a key cap but above scissor mechanism. Than I wiggle it a little and that makes it come off. You can break certain plastic hooks on a key cap but usually not. But if you will - that's not my fault :). Why do you want to remove it and what key cap?
@@LaptopKeyRepair I have a German keyboard and a spare US keyboard that is defective because of a spill. I want to exchange all keys with German writings
If you are planning to replace all key caps it is a pretty risky idea. 1) there can be a different mechanism under key cap. 2) some might break and you will be in need of a new key caps. The replacement of a palmrest looks like a better idea to me.
@@LaptopKeyRepair I need to replace about 14 buttons. It is risky. I've got non-working spilled replacement for 18 EUR. New module costs over 120 EUR. Replacing keyboard is also risky for my model
@@LaptopKeyRepair no, it's in-between the size of the enter key and letter key, took me a sec but I finally figured out how to fix it. But I'll have to buy a new keycap since I'm sure the keycap was missing a piece
@@LaptopKeyRepair your video was very helpful though, thank you for making it. You had a lot of keys in one video, which is a lot more than most other videos

Of course you don't have the backward slash key, the only key no one covers
Some of them are somewhat similar, are you sure it is not the same as enter or tab or whatever I got there?
