Onderhoud
Maak jou sleutelbord skoon
To maintain optimal performance and appearance, regularly clean your keyboard. Use a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with a small amount of water or a mild cleaning solution. Avoid excessive moisture. For cleaning between keycaps, use compressed air to remove dust and debris.

Align the pins of the new switch with the holes on the PCB and gently push it into place until it clicks. Ensure the pins are straight to avoid bending.
