Title: Busted Numpad Key
Post by: plobster on Mon, 05 August 2013, 20:53:42

I was messing around with some new blank black caps, replacing the caps in the numpad on the  Ducky DK9008G2(mx blue), when one of the keys sorta got jammed on the switch. when I removed the keycap, the blue switch part got ripped out also. I jammed it back on so it seems to be clicking fine, but the key itself is not registering. What can I do to fix this?
