Title: help ! key stopped working
Post by: prajjwal kushwaha on Mon, 26 August 2024, 07:31:38
Today, I found out that my mechanical keyboard (Redragon K617 Fizz) is not functioning properly. The keys in column(5, T, G, B, and the spacebar) have completely stopped working. I recently moved to a new room, which has a moisture issue, and I believe that's why the keyboard got damaged. Please help me fix it.

did you open the board? do you have access to a multimeter and soldering equipment? i would assume, that a trace corroded, or a mcu pin or hotswap socket (if hotswap pcb) wasn't soldered too well and got loose over time.
