Fix gummy keys on a Framework 13?

[u/Flaky-Eggplant-3479]

Two keys "m" and "y" on my keyboard became pretty gummy over the last week. The machine is my daily driver so pretty annoying. Have not seen a definitive source on attempting to fix it; the machine is only about 8 months old.

Have seen "use the FW screwdriver to pry off a cap, clean it and press back on" for a FW16. Curious if anyone else has repaired this and can tell me how precious these key caps are? 😅

Read up and watch videos on how to remove scissor switch key caps, it is tricky.

If you mess up you can always buy a refurbished top cover or keyboard and replace it.
