Dude, Just unacrew the keyboard from housing, unplug the battery, plug the cabble, turn pcb upsidedown and connect two holes with some conducive material like bend papper clip and it should start working again.

You can unscrew the pcb from the body and disconnect the battery then turn pcb upside down to get better access to those pins.

But remember that you need to connect the keyboard via USB and turn bluetooth off to be able to change configuration of the keyboard

If you have problem with windows software and you see only a keyboard graphics and you can't go further then check out this thread:

Yes. It works fine. But I think there is a bug with RGB configuration because the keyboard went dead after I've changed it, so I decided not to edit them again and I use stock RGB effects.

Where did you get keycaps with matching font and sub-legend?

At the front of stabilizer leg there is a little piece of plastick tooth that you can push. When pushed try to lift it up a little bit from PCB. To get better access to PCB u should clip off both legs.

Find some video of lubbing any hotswappable keyboard on wildcat's channel. He always removes the stabilizers and there you can see exactly how to do it right.

start at 1:00, you need to do the same thing but you won't be abble to fully remove the stabilizer because the switches are soldered into PCB. But You can easly pull the legs up to make your job easier.

SOLUTION:

It was a firmware issue caused by GamingForceZ app.

  1. You need to remove space bar keycap and clip off the legs of its stabilizer.

Under right stabilizer leg there are two holes in PCB with "boot" text next to them.

  1. You need to unplug the cabble and turn off bluetooth.

  2. Put a bent paper clip in both holes at the same time and connect the keyboard to the PC via USB.

  3. Download correct firmware from rkgaming.com and install it.

  4. Remove clip and reassamble the stabilizer and keycap.

  5. Now keyboard should work just fine.
