Pulling Keycaps

If you've messed up your keycap placement, need to pull out the PCBA, or you want to install a brand new set of keycaps, it's time to master the art of keycap pulling.

Your 80HE TenZ Takeover came with a special 'keycap & switch puller', a tool that functions both as a keycap- and switch puller. Make sure to use the right side of the tool (the side that says 'keycap) and follow the instructions below.

01

Position the keycap puller

Align the puller over the keycap and push down. Make sure it *clicks* on both sides.

02

Pull the keycap straight up

Pull with one hand straight up. With your other hand hold down the keyboard.

Pulling Switches

Did you get new switches? Grab the 'keycap & switch puller' that came with your keyboard. Don't be a fool, use the side of the tool that says 'switch'.

01

Grip the switch tabs

Carefully grip the north (top) and south (bottom) sides of the switch.

02

Squeeze and pull the switch

Gently squeeze and wiggle to detach both sides. Then pull to release from socket.

Keyboard modes & shortcuts

So you've got your new Wooting 80HE TenZ Takeover, and you're ready to start typing. But before you do, you want to know the keyboard's default key mappings and shortcuts. We've got you covered.

Out of the box, your Wooting 80HE TenZ Takeover comes with 2 additional function layers that can be accessed using the Fn1 and Fn2 keys.

Below you find the default mapping, but anything can be changed in Wootility. None of the default functions are imprinted on the keycap, so you don't get confused when making your own.

Wootility is the software to configure your keyboard with. We have two versions of Wootility. A lightweight web version and a downloadable app. Whichever you choose, you don't need to have the Wootility running after configuring your keyboard.
