How to make worn-out complicated ALPS click again
« on: Tue, 15 December 2009, 16:02:08 »
While servicing my computer keyboard, I noticed that after many years of wear and tear, some switches don't click anymore. I found an easy way to fix this:
I took apart the switch and then removed the tactile leaf. Where it bends, I bent it out a little more and re-assembled the switch. The key now clicks again.

Just thought you guys might want to know this without going through all the hassle I did.
