So I just got a new board built by KBDfans. I am noticing that the enter key has stuck a couple times. It feels wobbly and if not pressed from the center doesn't feel very solid.
I took off the key and compared it to the left shift, which feels much more solid, and notice that the black stems on the stab of the enter key sit much higher up than the ones on the shift key.
I am wondering how I can fix this, if anyone knows what the problem is.

Hard to tell from the Pics. Can you take off the key that are around and blocking the view and take a pic of the Stabilizer bar side of the messed up stab.
-
my guess is that one side of you stabilizer bar is not snapped into place.

sometimes they pop out.

Yeah your right. It could easily fall out. So it looks like it snaps in under the the black plastic. The plate is blocking one side of it so that might be difficult to clip that side in.

I got the right side to click in, but can't really get in there on the left side.
I got it in!! Thanks a lot for the help!

No problem. Glad to help. :thumb:

Glad you got it fixed, but I've heard to stay away from assembled boards from that vendor. Their kits are ace, but their assembly jobs... not so much.

Yeah I can't really say as I haven't opened it up. But for $17 I am happy. I would like to buy an iron at some point. I will probably and start with a cheap board to test on.
