2. Align the switch vertically to have the Gateron logo facing north. The pins should align themselves to the keyboard PBC.
3. Press the switch down until you hear a click. This means your switch clips have attached themselves to the keyboard plate.
4. Inspect the switch to ensure it's properly attached to your keyboard, and test it.
Note: If the key doesn't work its possible you may have bent one of the switches while installing it. Pull the switch out and repeat the process.
Pins may be damaged beyond repair and need replacement if this process is not done correctly. Never apply excessive force when replacing
keycaps or switches. If you cannot remove or install keycaps or switches please contact customer service as soon as possible to avoid
