I have a key ( pipe and back-slash ); I cant use this key. Idea how to make this key work u again?
This is an old-school mechanical keyboard. There is a big trend now mostly in the gaming world. I like the feedback for typing but most enthusiasts these days are gamers. The problem is that unlike modern mechanical keyboards, some even not needing soldering for replacing switchers, this thing is built solidly in a block and is not meant to be easyly disassembled. If you like mechanichal keyboards I recommend you to by a new one, there are farely good cheap chinese ones with swappable caps and switchers, just choose the switchers' color (type) that suit you, and donate that keyboard to a retro museum, where someone maybe has the time to take this thing appart, clean everything and repare broken paths in plastic circuits with toxic silver paste... just an advise. adr
