What's the side screw for the K2 Keychron Mechanical Keyboard?

The device in question is the K2 Keychron 84 key Mechanical Keyboard.


I want to remove the keyboard case but there is a screw on the side that’s difficult to identify.


There’s a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWHLGLj8... The quality is blurry but that’s one of the few searches that I did to get the best look of the screw on the side. Here’s another video of the device but doesn’t show the screw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9j4iXtNw...


I want to buy a toolset that’ll be able to remove that screw on the side of that keyboard.

Can you just post a picture of the one on the side of your keyboard?

I can't. I don't have the keyboard yet because it won't ship until mid August.

I'm anticipating what screw it is so when the keyboard arrives, I'll be able to open it.

After looking at some higher quality images, it’s a hexalobe screw. However, you can’t really tell what size it is just from pictures. Try asking the manufacturer.

I found higher res'd pictures online:

Are those still the hexalobe screws?

Yes. Ifixit requires comments to be over 12 characters, so this comment is needlessly long.

FUTURE LOOKERS: It is a Torx T7 screw.

T6 will work with some play and risk stripping, T8 will not fit.

Is t7 the same as t7h?

In one video, I saw a user opening the side panels with a 2.5in Allen tip.
