Logitech G910 take apart guide

- In this video I show you how to take apart the Logitech G910 keyboard. I had previously taken this keyboard apart so I could replace a key switch. Since I could not find a video for that I decided the next time I had to take this keyboard apart to put the key back in I would shoot a tutorial on how to take it apart. How to replace those key switches can be found on my channel.

This video definitely helped me in disassembling and reassembling my keyboard. I spilled a drink on the keyboard, and a group of keys were not working. I didn't have to replace any key switches though. I just needed to wash it with (dish) soapy water. Then I just went ahead and rinsed it with isopropyl alcohol and another time with distilled water. I got the bulk of the liquid off using compressed air, and then I let it dry overnight outside. I'm happy to say that it works perfectly now.
how did you do all that , same thing happened to me but i use isopropyl alcohol on the bottom of the panel but some of the keys are still not working. Did you had to remove all of the mechanical keys in order to use water on the board?
I can also confirm that this video was a keyboard life-saver. I spilled a sticky drink all over my keyboard, but didn't realise the extent of the mayhem until the next morning. After several keys not working and a whole lot of frustration later, I found this video and pulled the keyboard apart. I gently wiped all the sticky bourbon from the circuits with isopropyl alcohol then dried it with my hairdryer, and hey - every key is now working again!
How do you remove and put back the keys? Just pulling in it?
Man Bro you are one of those MVP Guys who are making this world so much better.
A whole glas of water spilled over my board, it was wet everywhere. Thanks to you i could disassemble and dry it out with a hairdryer in less than a hour. Works perfectly fine.
Thank u 🙏🏻. Happy I could help!
Thank you, this definitely helped me clean mine. I would have never considered peeling up the rubber pads on my own to get to the 3 hidden screws.
i have opened so many things, for me it is common sense to lnok under rubber parts^^
It's videos like this that are one of the Internet's most redeeming features. Almost makes it worth all the trouble. Anyway, my spacebar conked out too. But it was fixed in no time and I'm now typing this comment with it.

From what I could read from others is that the spider icon is most likely as a joke towards Razor keyboards like you mentioned. So I guess we can call this an easter egg.
On Xbox One PCBs, there's a scorpion tank in the corner.
Very funny that you have to see that while disassembling the keyboard. Only time you need to do that is ONLY when its damaged. I guess the joke is on them.
Just successfully replaced my double-registering keys as a complete soldering noob. Walkthrough is still relevant. Will squeeze more life out of this great keyboard. Thanks!!!
Only different disassembly step for my keyboard was that the volume control seemed like was soldered on and not a connector piece. Workaround was to unscrew the board connecting the volume control to access circuit.
After all these years my videos are still helping folks like you. Thank you for the comment and I am super stoked I could make a difference.
Awesome video man. I'm good at figuring stuff out, but I'm thankful you already did it. I just want to add that on the updated models (Spectrum) the volume wheel is not a plug and is soldered into its own little board. For anyone reading this you have to remove the wheel by removing screw on the tiny board attached to it and then gently pry on the right side of the wheel until it pops out and slide out of sensor on small board. You may have to pry gently on the board to get it loose after screw is out. Other than that everything was the same except I didn't have the symbol behind board :( lol
OK, so we got nice hot weather here in North East UK and I thought that it is time to fix my keyboard. Took it outside as I got no place at home for that kind of work and removed all eight faulty switches . About two weeks ago I ordered eight new from china. Thanks to your video I managed to fix it quickly without problems. Now my keyboard is working like new,. Big Thank You !!!!!!!!!!!
Like everyone else, thank you so much for helping me with this repair! I'd had this board in the closet for about 18 months because some switches died and (at the time) I just decided to get a new kb.
well once a few switches on the new kb decided to call it a day, I decided to learn to solder. just completed a 40 switch replacement, and didn't end up with any extra screws after putting things back together ;) found a seller on amazon selling these switches 10/$12.
So thank you again!
Thanks! I figured there might be screws under some of the pads, but I hate to peel up pads if they don't need to be, so this was very helpful!
Thanks so much, I am having a cleaning of my PC and one of them is my keyboard. The one think bugged me was how easy the G910 plastic gets dirty, hard to clean but this video makes is so much easier, just a few screws and easy to remove. Thanks
Super late to the party but I agree the plastic gets dirty the second something comes into contact with it
This video was a massive help! Spilt cider on my keyboard and some of the buttons stopped working, followed this video to clean the PCB and it’s all working again! Thanks
perfect man, 6years down thee line but I could still use this. only 5 screws left over.
I had one long screw left over, but was missing one short screw. That's the closest I've ever come. (I did misplace the clear plastic G910 plate, though. Purely cosmetic and easy enough to install if I find it, so I'm happy).
Another thank you from someone who fixed their keyboard with this video! Spilled some coffee over at least 1/3 of my keyboard and had to take it all apart to clean it. Works as good as new now!
Its one beast of a keyboard, had double typing issues which led me to set this keyboard aside and get the G512 Carbon... Another great keyboard, but i miss my old g910... Thanks for the video, i`ll buy some Romer-G replacement switches and hopefully bring my old buddy back to life...
Glad to help! I repaired mine twice and kept it working for a very long time. It was my favorite keyboard! I finally retired it last month. I love Logitech products but they haven’t made a keyboard I love more than the G910. I wanted something new so I went with a Corsair K100. Took a minute to get use to the optical switches but over all I enjoy it.
@@ConnivingBones yeah, i just got my g512 carbon replacement, it had a single led that the green wasn't strong enough, lol... They shipped me a brand new one.
But I'll switch to corsair if logitech disappoints me... Thanks for your reply.
Thank you for showing me how to fix my keyboard!!!
Just wore out my second G910. Decided to make one good one out of the two bad ones. This was very helpful.
Thanks 👍
Happy to help
Thanks a lot for that video. With this I repaired my G910 after year while it didn't work.
Thank you for this video. Needed to replace the power wire on the keyboard. Needed a guide through the dismantling. Huge help!
Watched a video removing switches last night and turns out it was yours. And now a tutorial for dissasembling 👍 Thanks man saved me $100+ for a new keyboard. Now I wait for the new switches from china.
Glad I could help!
Spilled some soft drink all over my keyboard - some keys were not working any longer. could fix it with your guide. Much thx!
you helped me fixed mine, dropping soda in it twice didn't do well for it. Luckely tearing it open en cleaning it fixed it all! Thanks man!
Stefan van den Bergh Any time!
Thanks for this tutorial man, I just ordered eight switches for my G910. Bloody Logitech couldn't make this keyboard more complicated to disassembly! They ,as far I can see, dint even mark the PCB at the back so you know which key need to be remove. I my there is "AWSDFGH need to be replace so a bit bigger job, but thanks to your video should be a lot easier .
Glad I could help!
@@ConnivingBones I have been always buying logitech product, I wrote an email to customer service and ask them could they help me with that keyboard. I mentioned that it is five years old , I was even ready to pay for repair but theirs answer was something between " we don't care and fuck off" .
I kind of spilled an entire mug full of very hot, very sugary tea in my keyboard. After disassembly (thanks to these directions), several rinsings with distilled water, and about of week of air drying, it now works! Reassembly was almost harder since I basically had to watch the video in reverse.
Tested your talents and taught you some valuable lessons in return. Every time you overcome a trial of intellect you overcome defeat and grow more powerful. Like The Highlander. ⚡️
Thank you so much for making this video it saved me so much stress. after dumping a glass of water on my keyboard i thought all was lost but being able to open and clean up everything it works like new. only thing that bugged me was you have your ctrl keys in the opposite sides but thanks again.
Thank you. Spilled some tea in to my keyboard and need to dry and clean it as the keyboard was typing random stuff. Your video permitted me to easily take the keyboard apart and do what I needed to do to get it functional again. I type this message using G910.
Did some of your keys not work either when you spilled
@@nathanmontgomery4408 No the keys worked, there was just random typing. Also, I think there is an issue with the G software (Logitech G Hub). I have issues where the keyboard double spaces when I hit the spacebar, or the mouse double clicks when I hit the left mouse button; it is very random when this happens and not always - sometimes a system reboot corrects this and some times it does not.
Thank you so much for sharing this! This helped me SAFELY fix my cola spill I did years ago... I just cleaned white key bit sides with ear sticks and vodka and voilà! And whole KB is looking brand new. Also found some nasty insects which failed to nest in my F1 and space bar, lol
Glad it helped!
There seems to be always one or two hidden screws no matter what you are working on. Thank you for posting, this was very helpful.
gahh, thank you for posting this!!! i KNEW there had to be more screws (the ones under the feet)!!
Do you by chance know where I can buy replacements??
@@JasssparDesign I don't, sorry
thank you! this was super helpful, i spilled milk on my keyboard for the sixth time and really wanted to make sure i got it clean. I was too afraid to actually do much with the actual green board but this for sure helped me get all the plastic pieces clean. the hidden screws are so sneaky, i NEVER would've thought to check there; i would've just given up. thanks again!
I have a problem with the step in minute 4:19 I have already opened it once before and wwanted to do it again but the cover is cracked a little bit (just below the enter key on the numeric keypad) and I can't remove it without it breaking. Is there a trick or tool that can do it without breaking it? Thanks
They do actually make tools for opening cases like this, but a lot of people use a guitar pick. I did it the hard way and came so close to breaking it a few times.
Thank you for making this and all the other videos on the G910, Saved me having to buy a whole new keyboard, I could just watch this and replace the switches myself
KnightofHavoc Excellent! These keyboards are fantastic but expensive to replace so I’m glad you were able to use my videos to help you save some hard earned $.
thank you for this video. my keyboard is clean and looks brand new again. thanks
Thanks man, it helped me out
Sam problem here. Space is doubling strokes. Thank You for this video.
Great video thank you! I need to replace a couple of keys on my G910 and the volume wheel. This will help a lot.
Oh god! so much thank you! Because I've already start thinking about buying a new one, not logitech, becauce a few Romero-G switches stop working properly and I thought it can't be replaced, but I rly love this keyboard, so now I'll just replace this switches with new ones.
I made these videos for a simple reason. I wanted to help others. I can say I succeeded as I continue to receive positive comments from viewers year after year. It’s uplifting and inspires me to continue to try to put out videos to help people. It’s very hard for me to find time as I stay very busy. Thank you for helping bring that inspiration to me. Your gratitude motivates me to keep doing good things in a world where so many people want to pull the rug out from under your feet just to see you fall.
Thank you for this video you do really great explaining everything
Thank you for this video. I purchased about $30 worth of a soldering gun/Desoldering gun and new keyswitches rather than purchasing a new keyboard for $100 because of this video.
Halo3dude0 That’s fantastic! I am glad my video has helped so many. Nice work for taking the initiative to do the job!
Thank you! You should make more guides like this. Your good at it most people who do it either get off topic have a shitty camera or something.
thanks bro, really helped me out as i had a lot of blood poured into it and had to deep clean it in emergency. 👍
this is really helpful (also had a broken space bar switch lol), and whoever wrote the guide on ifixit missed out on a few screws for getting the front plate off
Great video. Had to learn how to solder. Burnt my hair. Had a huge soldering iron aswell and no removal tool. 2 hours
James manson I am happy the video helped! I have burnt myself more times than I care to admit but I discovered soldering is a continuous learning lesson. I’m no pro but I have taken my share of mistakes!
Years later, still helpful.
Thank you!
do you have a video removing the mechanical part of the romer g switch? It looks like it has clips and comes out. I dont want to take it fully apart if i dont have to? I just need tre remove broken plastic in the holes where the key caps go in. 3 of the legs have broken off into the holes.
Thank you for this video! My keypad 'Enter' key was intermittent and I didn't know it would be so simple to repair. Without this video though, I know I would have broken something. :) This and the other two videos saved my keyboard.
Not gonna lie, your video was a godsend for getting mine apart. Gonna take a feather out of your hat and use one of the G keys to replace my damaged but more useful keys (F in particular)
hobomaster5 Awesome! I’ve got a lot of positive responses from these videos. I’m glad I’ve been able to help so many people. I repair cell phones, computers, tablets, and pretty much any other electronics that I can for a living. I just re-soldered some wires in someone’s treadmill control panel the other day and I’ve never worked on one of those before. I look at the new things as a learning lesson and a way to make the learning curve less risky on the next new thing. I have a passion for what I do and that keeps me going even if I stumble. I don’t have degrees in this stuff but I do have determination and a lot of personal experience. While I do have an Apple certification I had enough first-hand knowledge on Apple devices long before I ever decided to get my certification. I practically could’ve taught the class. I’m trying to find the time to do some more videos on the other types of electronics I repair.
Thank you for the video, it helped me tremendously!
I know nothing about keyboards and have owned this one for years. A deep cleaning is well needed which this video helps so much with, but my main question is keycaps and key switches. Are the key switches changeable or will it require soldering/losing it's RGB ability?? But I'm assuming switching the caps won't be a problem but how would I know what size and shape to buy?? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you, this was very helpful.
You’re welcome!
Cheers for making this video. Had a problem with the space bar double registering. Swapped it with a key I don't use so much (one of the numpad keys) and we're all back and rockin :D
duk242 My pleasure!
Nice tutorial. I split water over my keyboard wanted to make sure no residual got in
Thanks for the video. I have a problem. I lined up all the screws and I have two medium screws. Any suggestions where the second one goes?
realy nice Vidoe, thank you. Good wishes from Bavaria
thx for the video.. you saved my keyboard.
Thanks so much for this. I just bought this keyboard and love it in every way.... except the wrist rest is a complete no-go with the way that I sit. I needed to know if it was at all removable. I guess not. Sad day. :(
I'm having problem with that keyboard as well, most of the keys occasionally either double registering or skipping, I can't figure out where is the problem coming from, some says that its due to the latest firmware update, in most cases, the problem fixes itself, yesterday I was facing one, had like 5 restart then the keyboard came back to normal, but I still can't see where is the problem exactly, right now I'm planning into buying another keyboard, thinking about Orion Spectrum this time, which is the same model that only had a face lift.
Don't, My Orion spectrum is doing the double register as well. It is random and it is pissing me off. A 190 dollar keyboard and this happens. My old g15 is still going so I may just move over to that again and be done with this issue. I will be going with the Cooler Master Mk series because to be honest, Logitech and their quality has went down hill and the they keep making the warranty time less and less. It really sucks.
man i have the same exact issue !!!! double registering or skipping do you manage to fix this issue ?
@@llamaloka7043 I bought Razer Blacksmith instead and I settled on Corsair K100.
Is there a way to remove that metal plate? I wanted to take apart the switches to clean but don'r really want to desolder every single one.....
Thanks for the video had to take mine apart to clean up some cat vomit 😖
Matthew Campbell Ewwwww 🤭
Great vid, helped a ton. TYVM
Can I suggest an amendment? I think there's three 'medium' black screws on my disassembly. The other two are the two removed immediately before the other medium key that lights the G logo.
i took mine apart because the volume roller was tight to turn and it looks like the roller switch was in sideways and when i went to turn it the wires broke off and i dont know which wire goes where there are red blue and black. can you tell/show me the correct wiring order?
thanks mate, helped me fix my sticky spacebar.
hi sir, may i know if you still have the keyboard? are you able to help me find out the connection details on the wheel sensor?. all because i have accidentally broke it while prying out the keyboard. all i need is a photo of the connection colour cosrsponding to the sensor.
My g910 doesnt have the blue pieces, only the white movable and he black stationary. Is it still original?
Hidden screws, totally for ourbsaftey, and not so we accidentally break it. Thanks for the tear down guide.
Glad to be of help
Thanks for the video. Your model seems to be different from mine. In the lower part, there seem to be three hidden screws which are glued to each rubber bit. I managed to punch loose the rubber bit on the right side (facing down) without breaking the part (which is how I discovered a hidden screw), but the two others seem hard to dismantle with breaking anything. Any advice on how to proceed?
Now I know how to mode the keyboard ) thanks.
I always have sucked at soldering and this was no exception. But I got the damn board to work. Woot
Three tips that I live by:
1) Use the right tools! Avoid battery powered solder tools. A proper solder iron is a game changer. And though solder wick will work for this job a solder sucker is best.
2) Flux, flux, flux!!! Flux core solder isn’t useless but maaaaaan does flux make things easier. Its the key to getting a nice “wetting” effect to get things to flow smooth.
3). Dont let your flux get nasty. If it gets dark brown its time to clean it up with isopropyl alcohol and reapply fresh flux. If you don’t you are just making things harder on yourself!
ConnivingBones I have a wired iron, but I think it gets too hot. I’ve tried different tips, I’ve even tried sharpening the tip to a finer point. But I will buy some flux. My dad uses a damp sponge, but I never asked him why, I thought it was to keep the tip clean but it might have been to cool the tip. He worked on avionics.
Thanks so much for posting this!! I got stuck trying to do it myself with missing several hidden screws. This was exactly when I needed. Here's hoping it survives my fumbling efforts and the juice my cats spilled on it knocking my glass over.
Kat Kraus glad to be of help!
Is this methode of take the G910 apart. A good way to look or clean under the Keys itself too? Because my A Key feels kinda hard to press sometimes. As if something is under it.
Nilser007 Yes this is a G910 take apart guide. If you think there may be something under a key first try “popping” the key cap off the key switch and seeing if it is debris that has slipped between the keys and got caught under the cap. If so it may be easy to just get it out with a toothpick or small brush.
Yup thanks for this, googled how to just cuz want to clean :)
This is really cool. Just seeing how cheap they make it.
Wym
I accidentally spilled on mine, and I was trying to deep clean it. Any way to get the metal plate off without de-soldering everything? I can but it looks like a pain.
Thanks a lot!!! Feels like new now :D
Can you replace the little white squares that the key caps fit into without taking the keyboard apart ?.
Its an assembly that cant be taken apart while it is soldered to the circuit.
Thank you. That was helpful.
On mine the volume control cable has no connector and is soldered to the board... Wanted to look inside as mine started to double type...
Thanks man. I've cleaned up my Keyboard very fast thanks to you. But I didn't saw the widdow on my opened keyboard 🥴🥴 you maybe know why? I want one too. 😢
Thanks for the video. Just curious, do you have the take apart the whole keyboard in order to remove the ARX dock (blue part)?
Yes. The screws are under the Board.
Thanks!
nice, now I can solder in a new switch for the space bar :)
I followed the instructions but the bottom part of the top plate will not separate and feels like it will break (it came right off in the video).
ty, you saved my G910
I may have helped but you did the hard part, congrats on your success! 🎉
Hello my friend,i have a G 810 myself that has a problematic LED,from your video it seem that it wont be so difficult to change the switch.Couldn't find any disassembly video for this one tho..
Thank you! It worked out really well for me!
Glad to be of help!
Do you know where can I get screws replacements? 0r what it would be the size of these screws?
Hugo Sanchez No idea. I typically keep a jar of screws from electronics headed for the trash that I have disassembled and harvested such things off of for repurposing. You won’t believe how handy it is to have a jar of various screws. A handy tip is it’s OK to try to put a shorter screw in a hole meant for a longer screw (if it’ll take). It’s not OK to put a longer screw in a short screw hole because it could puncture something very important. It’s a common mistake in the electronics repair field with rookies known as “long screw damage”.
I'm planning on painting the front face plate white along the wrist rest. Are the playback buttons and m buttons removable from the plate?
you can easily push them out of their sockets
video was great as a reference thanks m8
does anyone know if there are replacements for the volume knob anywhere?
logitech doesnt sell them and i could only find one listing on my local ebay selling almost a whole keyboard worth of replacements ( also for the cost of a new keyboard )
im looking for the plastic part specifically since the ( what i think is a ) rotary encoder still works
It might be your cable check the cable connection to the board it's very delicate but fixable with a new cable and solder I think good luck if not try eBay as is and contact sellers see if they'll sell that part you can also try contacting Logitech
I have a second medium screw left over. Does anybody know where that is meant to go? I've already fitted the one at the top left near the G logo.
G910 Orion Spectrum
I like the Black WIddow THing against razer :D
Thanks for this. I've just replace a dodgy wire. It would've taken me hours without this cideo and I'd have probably broken something or put it back together wrong.
Дякую,гарне відео 🎉
is there a way to get the ARX dock out to give it a paint job?
Yes, after removing the screws at the top middle, (beneath the label "ARX Dock Release") you can just pull it out.
Gemütlich vorm PC und dann versehentlich etwas Bier verkippt. Die Tastatur hat erst nicht mehr funktioniert, aber nach dem Video konnte ich die Tastatur öffnen und etwas Kontaktspray auf die Elektronik sprühen. Nun funktioniert die wieder! 😁😁👍👍
My keyboard sucks, a lot of keys dont work. But the volume wheel does. Is it possible to remove that and keep it as a stand alone volume wheel?
Sam Luna No. I mean it’s physically possible but it would take an engineering degree to isolate and separate just the volume wheel segment and still have it operate.
@@ConnivingBones guess I'll crack this puppy up and see if i cant cut things off muahaha
Sam Luna while I’m all for ripping something apart and making a Frankenstein.. Rather than destroy the keyboard go to ebay and search for “PC Remote Control Wireless USB Windows Media Center”. For under $10 you can get a remote to control not only volume but a load of other things. Im actually going to order one myself, seems pretty handy.
@@ConnivingBones actually already checked and they 20$. Not too much but still...i have the keyboard NOW and nothing to lose. Im just keeping the switches as backups for my other mechanical logitech.
2nd time I opened up mine for a cleaning and always forget all the screws locations. Managed to get rid of an annoying double tap on some keys with it so seems my G910 will live a while longer. Cheers
How did the key chattering go away, just by cleaning it on the inside?
@@ShadicgunManjust cleaned some dust inside and that seemed to solve it...was only temporarily thou as the problem came back within days ;(
Can you change the cable?
i think my shift and control keys on the left side may be playing up in some way, my computer makes some weird squeaking zippy sound when i press them, is that a soldering related issue or something else?
SailorV84 Is the sound emanating from the computer itself or is it a mechanical sound from the keyboard keys
@@ConnivingBones its a soound coming out of the speakers, a Squeek buz sumetimes when i hold down the shift key or the CTRL key
Have you spilled anything on the keyboard? Seems like a grounding issue, possibly from electrolytic damage, causing feedback loop that is emanating from your speakers. I would suggest taking the keyboard apart and checking for corrosion or rust around any of the keys especially the keys that cause the noise. Also check your USB plug from the keyboard for damage and try a different USB port on the computer to make sure the port is not causing the issue.
@@ConnivingBones i haunt spilled liquid on it before, it has been dropped off my coffee table, more times than i care to admit, that's not a huge fall, but the problem seems to have been slowly getting worse. i saw a message come up saying something about sticky keys, witch is what was making the sound play, i think, now, and i disabled sticky keys in windows 10. but the shift and ctrl key do seem to some times need a firm press still.
so the squeak sound was windows Sticky Keys, now turned off, but, the shift and ctrl keys on the left side dont all ways seem to work.
Screw Removal of bottom??? How is that possible without knowing the type and size of the screw?
Philips #00 will do.
My volume wheel doesn't work, it´s like stucked and don't roll correctly. You think doing this may fix?
Matheus Almeida Taking your keyboard apart may allow you access to what is causing your wheel to stick. So yes, I believe you may be able to solve your problem by taking your keyboard apart. My best advice is to check for spots that are sticky once you take apart your keyboard. Look for a rub/wear marks or sticky material like soda that has spilled in the wheel area.
was there a screw in the center, on the back side? because you have a hole in the middle of that sticker.
Layarion No. My experience with taking apart electronics made me check under all stickers as I had no guide.
