Title: How do I open up a Steelseries 6gv2?
Post by: Keikuru on Thu, 09 February 2012, 11:02:38

I can pop out the keys, and I've taken out the 4 screws, but there seems to be something holding it together at the top and bottom. Anyone know how I can take it apart?

A plastic butter knife or an old credit card, slide it in the cracks to release the tabs that are probably holding the case together.

That didn't work for me. I tried with a lot of pressure and a screw driver but it wouldn't budge. I had to stop after the LEDs on my scroll lock fell out. Any further information or a more detailed explanation on what I'm supposed to do would be appreciated. I don't know where the tabs are.

Butter knife works fine for me.
