Title: K95 Platinum XT Switch Swap Gone Wrong
Post by: pian on Mon, 06 November 2023, 16:10:11
:(
Hey everyone!
[attach=1]
I attempted a switch swap (my first project soldering/desoldering) on my k95 recently and all went well until I realized that all of my 3rd row keys do not work except for the numpad and enter keys(CAPS A S D F G H J K L : ")

When trying to jump the posts from the broken keys to above or below gets me activation so the switches are working, it just activates the incorrect key.
I have tried jumping from the ' key to the enter key to make the connection and this did not help.

I feel like I'm completely missing something after looking at weeks of youtube videos and forum posts.

lmk if there are any more clarifying questions or pictures that I could send to make troubleshooting easier
