IMPORTANT: To remove the metal faceplate/PCB, you must desolder all key switches. The keyboard uses a "sandwich" design: switches are snapped into the metal plate and then soldered to the PCB. This locks the layers together. You cannot separate the metal face plate from the PCB without removing the switches first.
