"make sure that you go out for a run or a jog on a regular basis" Second best advice in this vid, right after proper keyboard maintenance.

Going for a walk/jog/run kept me alive in the second half of 2020.

This is more of a "watch me change my keycaps" than a "How to Change or Remove Your Keyboard Keycaps." For those of us brand-new to mechanical keyboards and changing keycaps, it would've been so much more helpful to actually *demonstrate* how to remove the keycaps -- especially the longer ones like Shift and Spacebar. The 1u keycaps are easy, since the keycap puller just grabs both sides underneath and a gentle tug upward removes the keycap. But the longer ones are scary for those of us who've never removed keycaps before. (I've never removed any in my 41 years of using computers -- my first computer was a Commodore 64, back in 1983).

Hey, thank you so much for your video. I really I’m gonna subscribe and follow you because I just recently gotten into the world of keyboards and switches and such and I took the plunge and I bought the Mchose 99 keyboard Amazon, and now I am at a loss because I absolutely am in love with the MOA key caps and I’m not sure what to purchase because I don’t want to buy the wrong layout or the wrong type for my specific keyboard and waste money if you can give me any kind of pointer as to what I should be looking for in terms of the specifics before I purchase the wrong product I would be so grateful🌸

[_PixelPeaches]

My computer has the worst keyboard all my keys are not even pushed out like that. its dusty, And It just does not sound that good- And the spacebar is super annoying and loud!!!!

[SevenDeMagnus]

Cool, do you need to turn off the keyboard or you can install switches while the keyboard's ON?

Thank you.

Thanks for the information. I have a keyboard given to me, a fancy gamer one, and the W key is dead. Problem is all of the hidden screw to get it apart. Not knowing the keys pop off I was stumped. An needed to see under the keys, to find more hidden screws. Not anymore... The keys pop off. I never had one of these before so I did not know.

I can`t unplug my spacebar . Im using Genesis Thor 303 TKL, any advice please :)
