==Removing keycaps==
The "normal" method of pulling a keycap can damage this switch. The switch's plastic top plate, which holds it together, is extremely thin. If you pull straight up, and the key is stuck in any way (easily true for a dirty switch), the force required to free the cap will break the top plate and everything will fall apart. Instead:

#Grab both sides of the key with a Topre-style keycap puller.
#With the puller vertical and perpendicular to the keyboard, rotate it to the right. The left edge of the keycap rises and the right edge either stays in place or drops.

Once the cap is removed, applying a lubricant such as Finish Line Extreme Fluoro between the keycap and slider makes it easier to pull them apart in the future.
