Ducky One 3 SF Keycaps and Switches Replacement

简介

This guide illustrates how to clean and replace the keycaps and switches of your Ducky One 3 SF keyboard.

Cleaning your keyboard should become a common practice, as keyboards inevitably accumulate grime due to the continuous contact of our hands with diverse surfaces, transferring oils, dirt, and bacteria onto the keys. This issue is compounded when snacking or dining near the computer, as crumbs and food particles effortlessly infiltrate the spaces between the keys, contributing to the keyboard's overall uncleanliness.

Over time, if you don't maintain your keyboard, it may stop working due to keys sticking, or you may experience a dead key. If a particular keys is unresponsive and a gentle cleaning doesn't work, you may need to replace the switch. This guide is also helpful if you wish to modify your keycaps and change them out for a new color series.

Before you begin the repair, unplug the cable.
