help with mionix keyboard
« on: Wed, 21 May 2014, 01:20:39 »
hi all. i purchased a mionix keyboard on ebay and i've been typing it for a few days at work. overall, it's a comfortable keyboard to type on. however, i've noticed that the letter O has been acting up, meaning sometimes it would not register at all. what is the main reason that this is happening? and is there a way to remedy the problem?

If it is only one switch, it could be a faulty switch, or bad connections on the PCB.

Given that you bought it from from eBay, it is unlikely to have a warranty?  Unless the seller provides one?

In that case you should be able to remove (desolder) the switch and install a new switch.

"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

i think the seller has tinkered with the keyboard before. i could see scuff mark where the top and bottom keyboard meets like he was trying to pry it open. i will open up the keyboard and take a picture tomorrow. i hope it's an easy fix.
