Lastly, you need to use some thin wire (in my case I use 10AWG wire) to remap the connector of the switch to another key as you desired (For me. you need to unsoldering the Screenshot switch from PCB and find something to block the connection between its socket (in my case I use the outer sheath of internal LAN cable) then put the switch back to its socket. So you need to disconnect this cable before separate this 2 parts of chassis.And now you will see the whole PCB board. Then pry up the chassis (2 parts are connected with interlock, you need to use you nail or guitar picks to pry it up) **BECAREFUL WITH THE BATTERY CABLE, IT CONNECTED FROM BACKPLATE TO PCB. Next, unscrew all of the screw that you've seen in front plate. This model is very easy to disassemble (unswappable gateon switch).įirst, you need to remove all keycaps from the switches. **So you need the soldering skills for modding. So I decided to remap the Screenshot button PHYSICALLY. WHEN THIS BUTTON IS PRESSED, SYSTEM WILL TURN INTO SCREENCAPTURE MODE WHICH MEAN YOU CANNOT TYPE ANYTHING ELSE ULTIL YOU EXIT THAT MODE). I just received that version today and noticed that the Screenshot button (the button above the backspace's button) is ALWAYS miss-typing all the time when you try to use Del or Backspace button (AND FOR MAC USER LIKE ME. Idk is it the same as K3 non-backlight version or not. I did this in Keyboard Maestro (KM) by checking if the cmd and shift keys are held down for a moment longer than the 4 key (idk if everyone does this but I release the 4 key first and hold the cmd and shit keys a little longer when I am pressing the keys to start a screenshot) and then pressing esc if they were not (because the screenshot key releases all keys at close enough time together than KM cannot distinguish a time delay). Since I wanted to keep the manual screenshot key bind, I needed to differentiate between the key presses of the screenshot key and me pressing the keys manually. just letting you know how I found out what the screenshot button was actually doing) I downloaded Karabiner-Elements, a free Mac toolbar app that lets you swap key mapping. The Insert Key is useless to me, but it takes up space instead of something like the Screen Shot key on my K2. I love almost everything about it, except for one thing: The INS key. I used Karabiner's Event Viewer to find out that pressing the screenshot key actually simulates the key presses and release of cmd+shift+4. The Keychron K14 is my current favorite keyboard. I'm running a k3 on a mac but I think my strategy would apply to windows and other Keychron models as well (screenshot is cmd+shift+4 on mac so replace those with windows+PrtScn). I kept running into this issue when going for the backspace and hitting a little too high.
