Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro L

This guide is compatible with the RGB/White version and probably, though untested/unconfirmed, with the Masterkeys Pro S/M variants.

Disassembly Notes
To dissemble the keyboard, flip over the keyboard and pop off the top right rubber feet. Bellow it is the only screw that holds the enclosure together. Afterwards use a spudger or the back of a knife to carefully pop al the tabs, they are spaced approximately 8 cm apart around the entire edge. Be careful when opened because of a cable which is attached at the back of the PCB to the bottom casing. This cable can be unplugged/unscrewed.

When removing a key switch use a soldering iron to heat up the bottom 2 contacts of the desired switch, then carefully pull from the front whilst pressing in two little clips on the top and bottom side of the switch. A solder sucker or solder wick is recommended, though definitely not necessary.

To solder it back, hold the key switch in the socket and solder the pins back on.

Variants
These are the variants of the keyboards that exist.

Replacement Parts
See related links for replacement keys, pay attention to make sure you buy the transparent versions because the light needs to pass through the switch to be seen.
