Introduction

This disassembly will show you how to get into your Logitech K860.

    • Unscrew everything. Some screws are under the small resin stands.

    • Beware: 1 screw is placed right under the serial number on the sticker. This will void your warranty.

    • It's not me, the resizing tool here is a joke. Anyway, you need to unclip the wrist pad and unscrew some stuff again. Like 4-5 screws here.

    • Disconnect the on/off switch from the back cover. As you can see, all the plastic standoffs are melted and squashed so that you can take this plate off but only once. I tried to crush some of them, it's possible but all of them will take way too much time and most likely you wouldn't be able to have the same rigidity after all this.

    • Now you are left with this beautiful view. You can unscrew the ground for the small board and the board itself. You can even unscrew 2 screws on either side of the keyboard. What you cannot do is to take this whole metal back-plate off simply cause Logitech is trying to not let anyone actually clean this stuff and see the membrane trickery.

    Has anyone managed to go further than step 4? My wife spilled a drink, and while we dried the keyboard out sufficiently, the keys are still sticking slightly.

    Unfortunately I do not see any way to further disassemble this and yes, mine are also a little bit sticky still but they became much better now after a year or so

    Screw logitech for placing stickers over screws and making this one of the least-cleanable keyboards I have ever experienced. I really like it apart from that, but that’s a pretty big failing.

    Thanks for the instructions. Very much appreciated. I missed the location of the screw hidden under the serial number when I was being all manly and just following my nose.

    Clearly I will have to be much more careful about where I spill my coffee from now on. :o(

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Great guide! the part about the hidden screw under the serial number in particular was a life saver.

One thing that's not clear is which slots take the smaller vs the larger screws, it would help to annotate that as now I'm blindly screwing whatever fits.

OK so IINM, the 6 small screws all go on the upper half of the reverse side. There is also one slot for a longer screw (closest to the power switch). Anyway the longer screws don't fit in the small slots so it's easy.

Great guide. But I have 2 buttons that are not working, if it can not get to te membrane how can i test it or clean it?
