    There is a lot of wrong info here. This method is NOT APPLICABLE for all keyboards. You can only do this in keyboards which are hot swappable. Trying this stunt on a soldered switch will make your problem 100 times worse! Also, you don't need that screwdriver tool. If your keeb is hot swappable, there's a 90% chance it came with a switch puller. Use that instead.

    It’s good practice to use a wired keycap puller and also to use a proper switch puller, you can damage the pins on the switch or the socket if you don’t use a proper tool , also not all keyboards have the feature to pull out switches (hotswap), for most keyboards the easiest way to make sure your keyboard isn’t just confusing keys is to factory reset it, it’s usually fn + space

    Make sure your keyboard is Hot-Swappable! If it is not you can damage the while board if the switch is soldered (it is melted into the board and if you want to remove it you have to heat up the metal holding the pins in place)

    As a programmer, I wouldn't suggest you use switches keys in the f row as replacement, I'd suggest you use keys like pause, scroll lock, page up/down, or even insert as these I've noticed are used much less. The f row keys are still essential for operating system stuff (I don't use windows so I don't remember important f row key binds for windows).

    Try cleaning your keyboard first, take off your keycaps and also use an anti-duist spray directly on the switch, make sure to keep the spray straight so it doesn't create damp and wet up the switches that might result in actually breaking it.

  • @Void.Things
    @Void.Things Год назад

    The reason why this is happeni ng is because the inside of the switches the inner pin connectors are broken or short, the metal isnt near the stem of the switch and because of that, the switch isnt registering the keypress, i recommend getting new switches, if it keeps happening its maybe because you are pressing too hard, or just buy a new keyboard.

    Don’t listen to this guy, but some red Outemu switches and replace all the blue ones and use a switch puller to do it.
