Make sure to do these cuts slow and small, as I've broken a few cases from the width of the side cutters forcing the case apart. Make sure that there are little to none plastic bits inside of the casing from this, as you don't want the switch to get stuck. Another optional step is to file it down, to make it nicer, and less jagged. After that, widen the hole a bit, by slowly cutting off both sides with the pre-molded supports. Then proceed to cut up to the cylindrical center of the switch that holds the spring. Slowly cut down on that tab inside to get down to the bottom. Then cut a bit of the original LED pass through, (the part with the 4 holes, those are for the legs of the LEDs). Cut the tab that holds the switch on the plate first. Start to cut small little pieces out of the bottom of the case to allow more light to pass. There usually is four parts, the top and bottom of the casing, the spring, and the stem (sliding part of the switch that holds the keycap). After that, finish up and pop off the top of the switch. Proceed to push the tabs of the other side, so no tabs should still be holding the top on. Then put something in between the top and bottom so it doesn't close. Take 2 small wedges (I used 2 flathead screwdriver bits) and push under the tabs on the side of the switch. If you have chosen keycaps that don't support RGB, skip this step. We are doing this to allow the light to shine through better to reach our keycaps. Start to disassemble the switches that you bought.
