Title: Need Help with a Topre Dome Swap
Post by: SNF on Thu, 10 October 2013, 21:17:08

So I swapped in some new domes, everything is fine except the enter and backspace feels stiff and feels like sh*t compared to other keys.

Anyone ever ran into this and know a fix?

thx.

**EDIT**

Ok so evidently, for the stabilizer keys, make sure not to cut too much off the rubberdome, make sure there is an even square around the switch if that makes sense.

Something to take note of for anyone in the future that has to make custom cuts for topre rubberdomes  :thumb:

Also, do not over torque the screws on the pcb or the screw head will break  :(
