Repairing a keyboard. Does anyone know anybody?

[Rafen]

I was switching keycaps it when I took the F5 key off the stem came out of the switch.    The stem broke and I was wondering if anyone knew someone who could replace a switch on a Leopold FC500?

If you know someone let me know. I really don't want to have to buy another board because of this and I don't wanna use the keyboard without that keycap and switch because I'm freaking OCD about stuff like that.

Thanks in advance for your help.

It should be an easy fix. It should just be 2 solder points. If you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself I would be willing to do it for you if you send the postage. I've done it for a few others. it would be a win-win situations, because I've always been curious about the build quality of leopold : P

EDIT: I also have tons of spare switches, so I could send you one even if you wanna do it yourself
for free

Man! I would send it to you if you would be willing to do it and I could throw in some extra $$$ for your troubles. The keyboard has brown switches so if you want I could order one from WASD keyboards and send it with the board. I would try it but haven't used a solder gun a lot and don't really trust myself doing it.

Thanks a lot and you can PM me with where to send it and how much you would charge.

Thanks again,

aaaaah man, the only switch type I don't have a ton of, In fact, I have none.  xD.
If you could just buy the switch you don't really have to worry about sending me any extra cash, it's all good.

Ok I will purchase a switch and just have it sent to your house then I will mail the board also. Thanks a lot for this. True lifesaver.
