Understanding Your Logitech G Pro X 60

Removing Existing Keycaps
Power off your keyboard and disconnect it from your computer. Use the keycap puller to gently lift each keycap. Work systematically from one corner to the other to avoid damaging the switches or the keycaps. Clean the exposed switches with a cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol.
Preparing Your Custom Keycaps

Installing the Custom Keycaps
Align each keycap with its corresponding switch. Gently press down until the keycap snaps into place. Ensure that each keycap is seated firmly and evenly. Take your time to avoid misalignment or damage.
Final Checks and Testing
Reconnect your keyboard and power it on. Test each key to confirm proper registration and comfort. Make any adjustments if necessary by removing and repositioning keycaps.
