hi guys, soldering my first keyboard here (kbdv2). after soldering all my switches, I realised my space bar switch was in the wrong place. so i desoldered and soldered in the right place.

after which, the keys to the right of the space bar (right alt, right ctrl, left, down, right) all stopped working.

if anyone can help I would appreciate it more than anything. took me hours to lube and I really wanna fix it without buying a new pcb. i will attach a photo, sorry for the poor soldering 😅

peace

Black but you got lucky and everything is visible.  Solder a wire between the switch pin and the hole and all will be well :)

No problem.  Can't be sure which end of the diode it goes to so lets just use another hole
