Mechanical Keyboard Switch Broke. How can I repair it?

[bullonwheels]

I have a Razer Blackwidow Lite with Razer Orange Switches.
1 switch (Ctrl key) broke and a part of it is stuck in the keycap. See attached photos.

1. How can I take the broken piece out of the keycap?
2. How can I repair the switch? Can I glue it back?

You'll have to desolder the broken switch and replace it with a new one
This particular model has mechanical switched and official razer switches are available on amazon for 3100 rs (36 pieces), but i would recommend getting a similar switch from meckeys and replacing it

The keycap isn't broken so try with twizzers if you can pull out the broken part of the switch

I'd call it good riddance. Razer switches are incredibly looked down upon by the mechanical keyboard community. As hitomi said, you're better off getting custom switches (not Razer) and soldering them on.
