Hello,
I would like to have your input on this. I'm having a hard time getting a keyboard without defect keys from DasKeyboard, it's their 3rd attempt and there's always one or two keys that don't operate correctly. It's a physical problem due to flaws in the plastic on the top part of the switch, as shown below. The result is that when the key is pressed, it often catches in the malformation and remains stuck or simply doesn't register properly.
Since they can't seem to be able to provide me with a flawless unit, I was wondering how difficult this would be to replace the top of the switch with a good one. I have seen contradictory statements about this in these forums or elsewhere.
Has anyone successfully opened a Cherry brown switch from above without unsoldering it from the PCB? And if so, what's the safest way to operate?
Thanks in advance for your advise!
