If I were a braver man I'd pull an Ellipse and make brand-new SKCM blue boards. But I'm not xD .
Yeah, I was going to make a joke about when you make it big on youtube and get rich in about a year or so, to come back to this, but the process of getting all that done and handled and working with factories itself is just really intimidating. You'd have tons to cover before any ground could be made, but we'd all be eternally grateful, haha.
Seriously though, your channel is starting to get a lot more attention these days, which is awesome, man. It's definitely going to blow up at some point.
Funny, I had a debounce issue on a alps switch, literally took it apart, blew some air through it and put it back together. It began to register perfectly...they definitely are more sensitive than all the other inferior switches
I had one do this to me on my Acer. I opened the switch and messed with the contact leaf spring and got it working like a charm again with no issues. It's hard to really kill an Alps switch, but I have encountered some that no kind of shimming or contact bending could fix. Don't know what happens to the contacts that makes them just die, since they're so well-contained and use that spring to push the plates together. Hmm.
I also had an issue with the backspace and space bar not returning properly on one board, and it was the return springs seeming to have worn out or getting softer. The keys would stick at times and it was the most annoying thing. At first, I thought it was a stab issue. Nope. Lubing didn't do a thing. Then I realized it was the return spring and swapping them out worked like a charm.
