Lightspeed keypads

You can order keypads for your LS if you want. They are kind of thick and squishy. Some people like them; some don't. If you have applied your keypads and decide to take them off, it is a delicate process!

You must CAREFULLY remove the keypads. The pads have a very strong adhesive. You have to hold the key down while pulling the pad off. Underneath each key is a rubbery flap that goes under the plastic. If you pull the key up, the rubbery flap will come out from under the casing. (I found this out the hard way). After some cussing and hard work, you will get the pads off. Now there will be a lot of adhesive still stuck to the key.

It has been discovered by the LightSpeed Addicts Anonymous members over on www.depoman.com that Goo Gone is the substance to use to remove the glue. Use Q-tips to rub on small amount of Goo Gone and wipe. After the Goo Gone soaks into the glue, it will rub off easily. Be careful not to get any Goo Gone on the sides of the keys.
