Can you remove and replace keys on a Logitech K310 Keyboard?

Question

Two of my keys might have something in them and they're really sticky.

When I press them down, it takes a while to come back up and my '2' key gets stuck, likely from sugars or other buildup.

Can I simply pop them on/off without breaking the keyboard or they key?

Solution

The Logitech K310 is a washable keyboard, you may be able to clean it without removing the keys.

From Logitech's Support Article:

Your keyboard is hand-washable. Follow the steps below to clean the keyboard without damaging it:

• Unplug the keyboard.
• Cover the end of the USB cable with the attached cap.
• Use dish washing liquid and the keyboard brush to wash the keyboard.
• Water temperature should be less than 50° C (120° F) and the water should not be deeper than 30 cm (11 inches).
• Don't submerge the cable.
• Don't use a dishwasher.
• Don't use abrasives, alcohol, solvents, or detergents.
• Rinse thoroughly to remove all of the dish washing liquid.
• Dry at room temperature.
• Wipe with clean towel.
• Air dry overnight (8 hours).
• Don't use a hot-air drier.
• Reconnect the keyboard.

WARNING: Do not plug a wet cable into your computer.

Do you NEED a screwdriver?

By the way, the keys are different on this keyboard. They're raised and this is also a washable keyboard..

Of course you don't need a screw driver, I just had it at my desk. You are right though, after double-checking with pictures, your keyboard has a different technology than mine. There is one way to find out if you can remove them...get a screw driver and test on the caps lock key. In the worst case you get rid of that one, nobody uses it anyway.

Yeah, I'm worried about that. Since using a gentle pull on one of the keys doesn't budge it.. afraid I might break it.
