Problem with Cherry MX Blue key
« on: Wed, 25 April 2012, 15:17:43 »
I got a Filco Majestouch 2 recently and now one of the key i showing signs of defect. It feels sluggish to push down and I can't seem to get a good "click" out of it - it feels kind of like you spilled soda on it, however I know that hasn't happened, and it's only just this one key.

Is there any good way to "clean out" the key? I removed the keycap and the exterior is clean.

Tried it, doesn't fix the problem. :( Any other ideas?

Open the switch and see what is wrong with it.
i have seen unix admins with john deere trucker hats, and even seen a man in a nascar shirt correct a passerby's klingon.
