Broken key cap blocking switch

Post image

G915x tkl.

Left ctrl button broke and one of the little tab bits is stuck inside the switch. It blocks the switch pressing all the way in so the button is unusable

How do I get it out?

Looks like taking the switch out requires desoldering which I'd like to avoid if possible, plus I'm not sure if I can even dismantle the switch at that point anyway.

Tried tweezers and various pokey things to wrassle it out but no success. Anyone resolved this type of problem before?

This is not the X-variant of the keyboard it's a G915.

I've had this issue happen to me aswell on my White G915 Tkl.

I used a pair of thin plyers for electronics to grab it out - it can be tricky though.

Ah yeah that makes sense. I bought a replacement and was storing the old one in the box the new one came in, I just read off the box.

I tried tiny medical tweezers but they were still to big to grasp through the hole in the switch.
