I would like to know what tools to use and which is the best method to remove a laptop key board?

I'm asking because do to previous hard drive replacements on my hp 15 f272wm I had to replace the key board because I broke a keyboard key and a couple tabs that snap the keyboard into place and if like to prevent that from happening again.

the key is to take your time also using the right tools

Spudger

Opening Picks

Screwdriver
