So here is a strange thing that happened to my Budget96:
When i got it i put Gateron silent brown switches in it so it was at a decent sound level to use at work. Did a lot of layout work in QMK and ended up really happy with it. The only thing was that i kind of wanted more tactile switches.
Got word of the Keebworks Tacits, a silent T1 and bought a bunch as soon as they went live on the store. Took me a few days but i finally got around to swapping the switches over, was a huge pain because my solder sucker broke halfway through the de soldering process but it got done. Put it all back together, plugged it in, underglow kicked on and i tested a few switches. Glorious, very good feel! Started typing a little, pressed space and nothing. No space...
Ok ill take it back appart, lets try shorting over the legs? nope. Worked for a some random alphas i tried but not space. Ok, PCB must be damaged? No visible damage on the under side. Solder looks good so its not that. Ended up giving up, going to bed and leaving it for a few days. Got back to it yesterday, hadnt magically fixed itself, shorting over the legs/pads didnt work any better this time around either. Removed the switch to see if there was any damage on the top side of the PCB, didnt see any damage. Tried to short the pads with the switch removed and... it worked?
Put the switch back in exactly the same and now it works.
Extremely odd issue but im loving this board with Tacits. Sounds great, feels great
