How to Customize Your Keychron Camo Switch Look

Quick Answer

Customizing your Keychron Camo switch look is straightforward: swap the top case and stem, and replace the bottom case. The parts are sold separately, so you can mix and match colors or patterns.

Step-by-Step Customization Guide

1. Prepare Your Workspace and Tools: Clear a flat, well-lit area. You'll need the Keychron Camo switch top case and stem set, the bottom case set, and a small container to hold loose parts. A switch puller or small flathead screwdriver can help remove the original top case, but be gentle to avoid scratching the stem. Common mistake: losing small stems or springs. Use a magnetic mat or a bowl.
2. Remove the Original Top Case and Stem: Gently pull the existing top case and stem from the switch housing. If it's tight, use a switch puller or the edge of a flathead screwdriver to pry it up evenly. Do not twist or force it, as this can break the stem's locking tabs. Checkpoint: Inspect the stem for cracks or wear before reusing it. Replace if damaged.
3. Install the New Top Case and Stem: Take a new top case and stem from the Keychron Camo Switch Top Case And Stem Set. Align the stem's orientation with the switch housing's slot (usually a small notch or flat edge). Press firmly until you hear a click. The top case should sit flush with the switch housing. Common mistake: pressing at an angle, which can bend the stem. Always press straight down.
4. Swap the Bottom Case (Optional): If you're also changing the bottom case, first remove the switch from the keyboard plate. Unscrew the retaining screws (if any) or gently pry the bottom case off. Replace it with a new bottom case from the Keychron Camo Switch Bottom Case Set. Ensure the alignment tabs match before pressing it into place. Checkpoint: Test the switch actuation after reassembly. If it feels sticky or misaligned, re-seat the bottom case.
5. Test Each Swapped Switch: Before reassembling the keyboard, press each customized switch a few times. It should feel the same as before—same travel, same actuation force. If a switch feels different, re-check the stem and bottom case alignment. Common mistake: swapping only a few switches and forgetting to test them. Test each one individually.

Parts You'll Need

• Keychron Camo Switch Top Case And Stem: Each Keychron Camo Switch Top Case And Stem Set comes with 110 top cases, stems, and a bottle. The top case is compatible with the Camo switch components only. This set gives you the visible top part and the stem that connects to the switch mechanism. You'll need one set for a full keyboard or a partial set for accent keys.

  

• Keychron Camo Switch Bottom Case: Each Keychron Camo Switch Bottom Case Set comes with 110 switch bottom cases and a bottle. The bottom case is compatible with the Camo switch components only. The bottom case holds the switch mechanism and determines the overall switch height and feel. Swapping it changes the switch's base color or pattern.
