To remove the keys in my keyboard do I just need to pull em' out?
Are all the keyboards that way?

Also are the O rings good for silencing the keyboard? How do I know which size to get?

Oh dear...

Orings are for mechanical keyboards as these keys have individual switches with space beneath the key (for a potential oring).

You CAN remove your keys with great difficulty, however you will find it is a bound together sheet, not individual keys as such.

Your ambitions exceed your hardware. Orings are not for you.

If you have a mechanical board, all keys are removable by pulling them off, yes.

You can look up orings for your model keyboard, however they are specific to the switches (cherry mx insert colour here), so universal.

Tip: Take a photo of your keyboard layout before removing keys...otherwise you will have a really boring time piecing it back together

I have SteelSeries APEX it's not mechanical. How do I remove the keys then?
And I couldn't find the orings for my keyboard that's why I'm asking here...
