I ended up picking up a bluetooth mechanical keyboard around 7 years ago. I’ve just dug it up again and I’ve realised that the bottom left “Ctrl” key is not working. What are my options for fixing it? I can easily take off the key caps and access the switches, but is there anything that can be done? Is there any chance reseating the switch will fix it?Thanks
Interesting. I don’t have a Topre, but I do have an electrocapacitive military keyboard with a sealed silicone membrane. The NKRO is kinda neat, especially on a 30-year-old PS2 board, and it’s nice enough as long as you don’t bottom out, which unfortunately I pretty much always do.
Weirdly, I feel like Topre are almost designed to encourage and cushion a bottom out. The membrane dome collapses really high in the press and then you get bounced back up by the conic springs underneath. It doesn’t do it for me, but some people love it.
