    • Using a Jimmy, separate the foam feet from the body to expose the hidden screws underneath.

    • Go slow and try to conserve as much glue as possible on the feet or the keyboard itself, this way you should be able to just stick it back once you are done.

    • remove the thumb key PCB from the top plastic bit ( you can put the top plastic part to the side as you'll only need it when you are closing up the keyboard

    • if you want to take out all the key caps and do some basic maintenance on your keyboard, now is a good time but erm.. take a picture of your layout first.

    • flip the keyboard over and identify the keys, here I have outlined them with a sharpie

    • Every key will have at least four solder points. Two for the LED, and two for the switch.

    • The ones that are parallel to each other are for the LED.

    • The switch solder points are in an offset placement (like a knight in chess).

    • after removing the solder , you should be able to pull the led free. take it slow and if you feel that it is still stuck, repeat the process to ensure there isn't any solder holding it in place.

    • if you are replacing the switch, after removing the solder push the switch from the back

    • get your new donor switch and let and get ready to resolder. look at other keys for reference on the correct way to pop in your led

    • if you have access to bluetac, it may help hold the key and led in place without leaving any residue (and being easy to clean)

    • when soldering, less is more, I actually redid this because I used too much solder

  9. Roccat Ryos MK Glow key led and key switch Replacement, test your changes: adım 9, 2 resimden 1. Roccat Ryos MK Glow key led and key switch Replacement, test your changes: adım 9, 2 resimden 2.

    • reconnect the usb power and test your keyboard while it is still open and easier for you to work on.

    • success! everything is working and you can now go ahead and close up your keyboard, you are finished

Neat guide you created there, thx a lot!

What type of LED did you use? I can't seem to get any usefull info from the manufacturer on this..

Aww, just saw that you used a "donor". I have a number of burned out LEDs, so I will have to buy replacements. There are about 724 bazillion different options to chose from though.

Hi! Could you give more details about the LEDs? How many mcds are they? I have the same problem, but I won't be able to order from the site that you have suggested due to my geographical location. Thank you!
