I got one and really want to peek inside. But there are no screws. I can see what looks like two tabs on the bottom, but that's it. Any idea how to open the casing without causing major damage?
My friend has given me permission, but of course if I do any damage, I'm the one who has to pay...

You'll need plastic prying tools. Check your nearest auto center for them.

Hi,
here's my album about the dome swap.

And I used this set of videos for reference.

If you don't have a plastic prying tool, you can use an old credit card.
Good luck man. :)

Absolutely great man, now I won't even need to do anything to see inside the board... !
But the 35g weighting is really odd man... feels light to the point that all tactility is lost.

If you're light typist it does feel really subtle. But they do feel linear. 55g on the other hand. Feel amazing.
By far the best tactility I've felt.
Even better than 45g Novatouch.
I have still to try 55g Realforce, and that would probably be the only way to go from here.

You jumped straight from 35 to 55g. Is there a good reason? I am just wondering whether 45g is a good balance. I have never had a 45g board in my hands so don't know.

Main reason I did it it's because I was using outemu mx blue's beforehand.
and I simply prefer a feel of a heavier switch.
Initially I wanted to find a 55g Plum, but looks like they came only in 35 and 45g.
So I ordered the cheapest non RBG model with 35g and a dome sheet from hansung.
Novatouch felt a tad too light for my taste.
and a lighter switch confirmed what I already knew, and that is I make a lot of mistakes on lighter switches.
so 55 was a natural movement.
The domes do feel heavier than blues, and for the just the right amount heavier.
they also make 62g domes, but I think that would be a bit to heavy for my tastes.
next thing I will probably do is remove the dental bands, apparently the keys feel more tactile then (not that they don't feel now). I can't imagine how would that feel, since now if feels better than almost all mx like tactile switches I've tried. The subtle off the top increased force feel amazing, and the lack of the force after the bump makes a really enjoyable typing experience.
Hence why I said, only thing better for me after this is a 55g realforce. Unfortunately, that's a bit too pricey to blind buy, so I'll probably pull the trigger after I try one.
So far, in regard to tactility the best is still Buckling Spring > Plum 55g > Novatouch 45g (I know they feel slightly different than proper Topre) > everything else.
Anyway, to much typing.
here's a pic :)
