Having a bit of trouble putting the enter key back on QFR
« on: Sat, 12 January 2013, 00:49:17 »
I decided to see how to take off the enter key in order to be ready for a set of keys that are coming in and now I can't seem to put it back on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is for Filco, but both use the same stabilisers:

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Take it off and try again - should clear it.

No worries :)

Once you have done a couple of these, it becomes second nature.

Indeed it does.
However after only using Filco's, I managed to pull out the stabilisers of my KBT Race as it feels a lot less solid than a Filco :(
