I'm looking for help.
The gist: I want to hardware swap my keyboard's function key with the pause/break key and have prepared a diagram that attempts to convey my plan for doing so. If anyone knowledgeable in this field could confirm the viability of my plan and steer me in the right direction with some advice, I would be very appreciative. Either way, thanks for stopping by.
Here's a picture of the inside of
my keyboard, illustrating the two keys I want to swap:
I know very little about electronics but did manage to poke around with a continuity tester. While I wasn't able to wrap my head around everything, I did gain enough of an understanding to conjure up the following plan:
... Take the hot nodes out of series. Patch up the series. Patch the hot nodes to the opposite series... Would this work?
If so, what kind of wiring should I use? And would it be best to do all of this patching to existing solder points, as opposed to exposing the on-board circuitry and soldering to that?
If this seems doable, I hope to document the process for others.
