Title: Spacebar not bouncing back well on V60 with Matias switch (Solved)
Post by: ctm on Tue, 11 August 2015, 08:50:35

After I replaced the stock V60 PCB with hasu's ALPS64 PCB, I started to notice that the spacebar does not bounce back very well. Sometimes I can feel a slight lag when it is bouncing back from the bottom. In rare cases, it even gets stuck at the bottom and fails to bounce back. At first I thought it was stabilizer problem. I got Finish Line Extreme Fluoro and lubed the stabilizers, but I notice very little difference. I think it might be the problem of the case. As I remember, with the stock PCB the bottom of the plate is a little further than the case than it is now. How can I solve this?

So the spacebar is rubbing the case and getting stuck since the PCB is different?

Since your warranty is already gone, see where the spacebar is getting stuck and you could shave a bit of the case off so it clears. Wont be noticeable since it would be on the inside.

Thanks for your advice. The problem turns out to come from the dimension of the PCB. I filed the case a little at the USB opening and it know works great.
