Title: Error with keyboard gk61
Post by: Alv4R0xx on Wed, 25 November 2020, 12:57:31
I have the gk61 keyboard and the (FN) + (]) keys don't work. If someone the same happened to you and could solve it, please tell me.

Chances are it's a broken trace, or maybe a dead diode as j is in the middle.  Post a pic of the area around those switches and I'll advise some testing, hopefully it's not a white or black PCB...

is it just the fn+] combo or both keys that do not work, if both do not work i would agree with SO but if ] works alone i would expect the problem to be firmware/driver related (depending on what it is meant to do)

I like how yui always interprets things slightly differently to me, between us we'll catch anything especially as he can actually read (it's ] not j) (https://cdn.geekhack.org/Smileys/solosmileys/laugh.gif)

] on an ISO board would be the end of a row, that makes more sense for a single dead key.
