Kemove Snowfox 61 Key Switch Replacement

はじめに

Use this guide for replacing faulty key switches on the KEMOVE Snowfox 61 mechanical keyboard.

A mechanical keyboard with a faulty switch causes multiple key inputs to be pressed or not respond. This occurs when grime build-up is left for too long in the keyboard, causing some keys to no longer function, requiring replacing the keys completely or cleaning the board.

No special skills are required.

Any Gateron switches will work, such as red, blue, green, etc.
