Ducky x Varmilo MIYA Pro Panda Keycaps Replacement

소개

Use this guide to replace or reuse your keycaps on a Ducky x Varmilo MIYA Pro Panda mechanical keyboard to restore the performance and responsiveness of the keyboard to perfect condition.

If you use your keyboard daily for multiple hours, you may have noticed over time the decrease of responsiveness on your keycaps due to excessive use. This is also due to the collection of small debris over time that can be found in between and under each keycap making them feel sticky or slow. This can be fixed through replacing or restoring the keycaps displayed in this guide.

If your keyboard keys are unresponsive at all then it is best to troubleshoot the switches (mechanisms under the keycaps) and or maybe thinking of replacing the keyboard itself.

Be sure to perform this procedure only when your keyboard is unplugged (Turned Off).
