I started doing it a long time ago, so have probably gotten used to the various shortcuts in manufacturing that have been added over the years (which tend to make each newer keyboard a little bit more of a puzzle). Generally, the keys can be lifted / snapped up by gently prying with something like a table knife (not sharp). I do it in an uncluttered area so that if something does go flying, I can find it (but, I keep one hand cupped over the key I'm removing so I don't often lose anything). There are usually screws on the bottom, often hidden under pads or labels that you can remove to separate the bottom and top. There are often several layers of clear plastic with various coatings which I am very careful with (to avoid scratching and to reassemble in the proper sequence).
