Introduction

The keyboard on the Razer Tartarus V2, model number RZ07-02270100-R3U1, holds the keys in place and helps with the "click" when you press down a key. The main white frame or the metal contacts of the keyboard can be damaged by excessive force when pressing keys. This replacement guide is designed to help you restore your Key bed's performance and extend the overall lifespan of your device.

    • The key stem, a small white block-like object, may be left behind. If this happens the keyboard must be opened. Once opened separate the top casing from the bottom casing and gently press the stem towards where the inside of the keyboard would be. They should pop out in this direction.
