How to remove studs/stems stuck/broken inside the G413's ROMER-G + Cleaning 

Same here, this video was a life saver. And yes, the key was LCtrl 🫠 I just switched it with RCtrl that’s still intact, luckily.

Sigh.. Yet another missing LCTRL here..

Me to my lctl to thanks

Exact same issue here

man m struggling to find the replacement keycaps in India

hey man, where did u buy the replacement?

Glad to help! ^^

You’re welcome! ^^ since I don’t have a photo I can only bless you with creativity! Good luck!

at worst, you can buy a single new switch, but you need to open keyboard, unweld the stucked switch and weld the new one. it is easy but you need the equipment and a bit of experience i broke my shift cap, because this keyboard also has a terrible switch, and it stops working properly. i could solve it cleaning with isopropilic when failure occur. but i broke the cap last time (using only fingers my bad). i also have a big problem, im spanish and cap sellers only sell USA layout, so i think i will end up buying ALT cap that has the same size, it will have the wrong label but will work also noticed when cleaning control switch with isopropilic that it has broken one of the studs. terrible design. thanks this guy i will try to extract the studs without switch replacement. i cleaned all keyboard so extracted all caps, maybe there are more broken, and i will have to buy a whole new set

also it was an expensive keyboard...

There’s some of your skin and some of the food you eat! :))

@@leparklez they are also parte of me....

I broke my left ctrl by using normally - then I broke like 3? by pulling them all off. I’d say it’s not impossible to do it clean if you’re fast and angle it right. I don’t think I’d be so lucky to do this next time without breaking one or two, each pin gets quite stuck in there and pulling can easily break them unfortunately. good luck!

@@leparklez Thanks for the insight. I just bought my g613 today and Id like to prepare myself in the future.

@@leparklez just by using it? wtf. i broke left shift because common switch failure to wash with isopropilic. also noticed i have broken one of the 2 control studs. i did a full keyboard cleaning so maybe i broke a couple more. probably will buy a full set of caps i have extra problem, my keyboard is spanish layout, and i can only buy USA layout. will need to use for example ALT cap on my shift because they are same size

My left ctrl broke first too and I’m not an aggressive typer... it’s a real shame from logitech unfortunately. Don’t loose your hopes, try getting replacements from ali express!

hi man, same problem on my g413. after some research i concluded that the romer switch is faulty by design (even tho i noticed that most issues were born after removing key caps so maybe we damaged the key mechanism under), made to last up to 5 months usually. In my case it lasted 4 years and now lots of buttons double click(when they work). There are some solutions online, look on yt like the one wit toothpick

@@simoschv In general my issues are mended, it's a lot better now. I could had been more thorough but didn't want to sink too much time with it. So i changed a few switches around, like took from the scroll lock, pause, print screen and whatnot, buttons i use very rare and replaced them with buttons that made most issues from what i remembered. And for others i just clean them. Is quite easy to disassemble the switch and cleaned the contact between the metal parts. Some i rubbed with some paper and alcohol and some i went with some fine sandpaper or nail file. Seems that all approaches had similar effects so doesn't really matter. The result is ok but also kind of not so easy to determine. All in all i get way less issues. I noticed and took note a few other keys that have issues but are way less and the issues not that often. Just one from the ones i cleaned seems to repeat. So maybe some other time when i'll feel like i'll desolder all the ones i still have on the list to reclean. It's doable and not too complicated, just annoying to do.

i just throw isopropilic over the switch, and then pressing a lot of times. it works. it is not permanent solution but improves a lot the malfunctions also isopropilic doesnt conduct electricity so you can do with the keyboard conected, dont worry (if you leave the bottle open, maybe alcohol catch humidity and has a little % of water)

Get well soon 🙀

Sorry to hear! This is definitely something to try as last resort! Many had success in getting these pieces of plastic out, requires a lot of skill and precision! ^^ - good luck with your complaint!

Aliexpress can serve but it’s unfortunate Logitech can’t keep up with their own product.
