Title:

How do I remove keycaps?

Text:

I wish to swap two of the standard-sized keys on my new MacBook Pro M1 16” (2021). I’ve swapped the keys in software but wish to also change them physically. I’ve lightly tried prying them off with a guitar pick, but with no luck (and didn’t want to force this too hard if I instead need to take the laptop apart from the bottom to do this).[br]
Any help appreciated, but no rush in solving.
