Title: problem with cherry blue key
Post by: destroyerht on Sun, 29 April 2012, 22:20:56

I just purchased a ducky shine with cherry blues but one of the keys have this "sticky" feeling. When I push down the key and release it slowly, it gets stuck halfway without coming back up. Is there a way to fix this? I took the keycap off and I see no physical damage.

Try blowing compressed air down into the switch. It could be some plastic shaving/dirt/something in the way.

Tried that already and didn't help. Is it possible to open up the switch without desoldering anything on the ducky shine?
