Post by: terran5992 on Wed, 27 November 2013, 03:21:42
The key depresses halfway and stays there. Any thing i can do to fix this problem? Its not happening to  the other stabalized keys.

You haven't clarified whether you're talking about a Cherry MX keyboard or a Topre keyboard.

I think, either your switch is messed up (what switch type are you using), or your stabilizers are pinched/gathered together. Try stretching out the stabilizers so the top opening isn't leaning inwards.

Or the stems under the key are not 100% straight - this is occasionally an issue with Cherry stabs as there is little to no room for misalignment.

Can you try a different Enter key on this board?

Can you try the sticky Enter on a different keyboard (if possible one with Cherry and one with Costar stabilisers)?

Fixed the problem

The key is about 3/4 the way inside the switch. After that no more problems

You could also lube the stabilizer.
