Title: Replace a keyboard controller
Post by: sorin on Tue, 14 March 2017, 04:40:11
Hi guys!
What do you think is the easiest way to replace the controller of a keyboard that suffers from chattering?

It's likely to be the switches, not the controller that has the issue.

It`s a Natec Genesis RX88. All the problems that I heard about this model were controller related.
It has cherry mx black switches. I got it for the price that I could have payed for the desoldered switches anyway...

I think it's the sort of question where if you have to ask how difficult it will be.. it will be too difficult.

Chattering is when you press a key and it writes it more then once.

My idea is to use another controller and rewire the tracks to the new one.

pretty much what you would need to do
or try a usb to usb keyboard adapter to try to deal with it
