Basically, you want to heat them so that the glue loosens and the keys peel or pop right off. You can do this with steam, or with a heat gun or any heat source. You dont need to get them burning hot... so if you use a heat gun be conservative... you'll find out just how much you need. Some folks use a damp cloth and an iron. Any way you choose can be over done so like I said.. be conservative.
