I'm new and I need help obviously :)
« on: Tue, 01 December 2020, 11:54:00 »
Hey, I'm a french student with a bad English lvl.
I'm also pretty new to the keyboard community in general which is why I'm struggling this much to have answers to my questions I guess.
As for my problem here is it, I have a niz plum (66EC(XRGB).Ble 35g)
I opened it since I'm curious and I wanted to try to lub the housing of the "switch" But after 2weeks I noticed a little spring noise, I knew that it could due to bad alignment from the web so I opened it again an be rly careful and put it back....... But nope I still got many keys having springs noises so idk why and how to fix it (is it the energy release of the spring? If yes why only now - could it be some rattle against the PCB ? What can I do abt that..? )

Just to be clear, you are referring to the capacitive springs under the dome? Not the springs that go between the housing and the keycap for extra weight?

When lubing rubber dome capacitive switches, you should not lube the capacitive springs. There is no need. It might even disrupt the capacitive process. the slider is the only thing that you should lube. I'm not sure that you did that but I just wanted to make that point.

Another question, What did you lube, what did lube it with and how? Does it feel crunchy at all when you press? If so, the spring is probably misaligned.
