KBT RACE case replacement tutorial

Anyone have the tutorial for replacing the case? actually i cant find any screwdriver for the middle screw.

Should be quite easy with a very small screwdriver. That's about all I can think of.

Disconnect the cable.
Pull the four corner key caps.
Pull the G and H key caps.
Remove all 5 screws, all 5 are the same.
Twist the chassis so you can grab the circuit board at the lower right corner, it's easiest here.
Lift from the bottom and as soon as the circuit board clears the front edge, slide the board forward to release the usb connector.

It may be a bit stiff on the last part as some have found the hole for the usb connector to be a tight fit. I used a small file to open mine up a teeny bit so it needed less effort next time.

Hi everyone, the middle screw is screwing me up. i can't find any screwdriver that fit it, in the end the middle part of the screw is now loss. is there any method to open the screw without screwdriver?

It's a standard Phillips just like the other 4 screws.
The same screwdriver that fit the other 4, will fit it as they are all identical screws.

If the screwdriver won't fit then it may be damaged. You could try needle nose or using a Dremel to cut a slot in it. try the needle nose pliers first.

from the first place it is already not fit. i try it with the same screwdriver maybe im trying the needle nose pliers after i got back home

Looks amazing. Very nice keyboard. I've always been quite fond of the race although i would never really need one, i still like to think i'll have one someday lol. Great job with the case.

Hahaha that is right. that what i am thinking at first, 1 keyboard is enough and i don't need more. But the more you active in this forum, the more you will be attract to other keyboard and curious about how the other keyboard feel..
