Broken cherry switch :(
« on: Wed, 26 June 2013, 18:25:51 »
I think the switch on the W key on my poker X is broken...

It with either not type sometimes or it would it would multiply. I am typing this on my FC660M...

I am uber upset right now cause the poker was becoming my favorite board.

The W on this keyboard is working just fine but not on the Poker X

Sounds like a faulty switch. Pokers are PCB mounted so it shouldn't be too hard to fix, just get a replacement switch.

Desolder it and solder a new one on.  If you can't do that, get someone to do it for you.  It's a quick and easy fix.

Yip. But, for something that simple, you'll find it to be pretty trivial if you've got the equipment.

True. I gotta find someone who has a solder iron. I also have to buy a new switch. Anyone know where I can get a good price on cherry mx switches?

Mouser, Digikey, the switch tester at WASD, they'll all probably cost about the same with shipping.

The switch tester uses plate mounted instead of pcb mounted switches but i will check the other two
