Me as well. Absolutely high quality video/explanation/professionalism. The whole package. Unfortunately I can't give a few thousand likes.

I was vigorously cleaning my keyboard with cloth and the whole scissor mechanism of a key along with keycap got out. I really freaked out I thought I broke the clips. Thank god it was a easy fix.

Thanks for your support on this topic. One of my keys felt off and I needed to check how the butterfly mechanism worked in this one. I solved it using your guide.

Awesome surgery process... Patience is the key... This is 2 years after, so I'm glad you still have it running!

Thank you so much! I wanted to do a key swap; stupid, I know. Couldn't get the thing back together but this video and 2 hours got me back! CHEERS

I am more than grateful bro, all i needed was to take a cap out but I felt like i needed to watch the whole thing to the end. Thank you so much.

time and time again I've found myself back to this comprehensive video. thanks...

My cat got his nail stuck on my keyboard (he loves climbing to my work desk while I'm sleeping) and this morning one key was off and the scissor mechanism on the floor. I panicked and got angry but your video made it so easy to see how everything fits together. Especially the closeups. I was able to put it back. Thanks so much!

I have the same model keyboard, but the plastic pieces are slightly different than his. My plastic pieces only has the side tabs that go into the side holes. Put the 2 pieces together with your fingers BEFORE resting the entire piece into the keyboard slots. It is much easier this way for everyone else that has the same pieces like me.

Gotta commend your perseverance on this repair. I'm just wondering wouldn't it be quicker and neater to use conductive copper tape to mend the trace after exposing it instead of using this paste? Or would the thickness of copper tape be too much between the membranes? Either way congrats on getting it working again.

Hey Kai. If it’s working but the key just isn’t pressing right… well, if you can live with that, I’d say leave it alone. But if it’s causing problems when typing: well, you can slice the nib off at the base. I’d use a sharp x-acto knife or an olfa cutter with the blade snapped off like I used in the video. But you really want a clean cut because tearing up the base or top will ruin it. Then, just lay it in that space in the scissor mechanism (just loose-no need for glue or anything like that) and put the key back. But I’d really recommend against doing all this if you can. That nub is really small and hard to work with and you may end up losing it. And I’d hate to ruin the keyboard.

Hey Colleen. Well, it's worth a try! :D But maybe you don't have to go through all that trouble. If you spilled something like coke or juice on it then maybe the pads just got gummed up. If the keys stopped working one by one, then maybe you don't need to cut the membrane and can just try to clean the pads for the broken keys. Try cleaning between the membrane pads with little pieces of cotton and alcohol (you can get access like shown in the video here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pmiItMSjkrXVorg.html) and see if that works. If a bunch of keys stopped working at exactly the same time then it could be a common trace and then you'll need a multimeter to probe around and see if things are running back to the ribbon cable. Also open it up and make sure the liquid didn't get on the circuit board. That could be really bad. Anyway, good luck!

Hey Arvind. Check that the hooks the scissor mechanism attaches to on the keyboard are still there. There shoud be two hooks on the top and two on the bottom. I heard they changed the layout so they could also look like tabs. Either way, you should be able to see damage if they don’t look the same on the left and right side. Some people were saying you could just press the key back on with the scissor mechanism attached (for the new layout). If that doesn’t work, I’d try taking apart the scissor mechanism and attaching it to the keyboard first and then pressing the key on. I gave instructions on how to do that in the video. This is all assuming there’s no damage to the hooks and the plastic tabs they connect to.

Hey, my keyboard works but the Enter key came off and I can't seem to get it back on. It doesn't seem to have the same notch as the letter keys have on the scissor mechanism. Any ideas on how to reinstall it?

You were lucky that the trace was damaged very close to where the key hits, what if the trace is open in the back under the alluminum sheet covering that is plastic soldered to the case (logitech mfks).

@@a_boy_can_dream That's great man. Thanks. I went to your vlog and saw the pictures, really useful. When I spilled the water over the keyboard I putted it in rice, the next day some keys were activating by themselves and others were inputting other keys. I applied heat with a hairdrier to the back metal sheet, probably there I did some damage to the membrane and traces, right? Because otherwise the only option is that corrotion damaged the traces, I mean I don't think there is physicall damage to the traces (aka, scratches). No water went to the electronics board. So each key has two traces? From the top membrane and the bottom one? I assume one of those traces is common to all keys and when one presses the key the circuit closes. could it be that some keys even have more common traces? Any recomendations to remove the metal sheet of 07:29? It's only attached through those plastic like rivets?

"could it be that some keys even have more common traces?" I did a quick explanation of it here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eoaHw7ayaZm0pdo.html But just watch the 15 seconds or so. The whole video is too long lol. As for taking out the rivets, you can just press a sharp flat-head screw driver on the rivet and twist. They come out real easily. But getting them back in is another story. Really, as junky as these keyboards are, I'm not sure if you'd want to go kill yourself. I do think it's possible but it's real hard and time-intensive. If you're at the point of giving up, I can make one recommendation. But only if you are at the point where you're ready to just throw it away. I don't want to recommend anything and be responsible for you losing your keyboard. But if it was just water damage and you do accept that it's already gone and you want to try one last thing: you could take out the PCB and try soaking the whole keyboard (without the PCB) in alcohol. Alcohol can get into smaller places than water and will displace any water that is still in your keyboard. You can use ethanol or isopropryl alchol. DO NOT use acetone--it will melt everything. Then... just give it quite some time to dry out. Of course I'm not sure if you really did damage things when you used the hair dryer. Again, ONLY try this if you're ready to throw it away. From my end, it's a long shot try and I would hate to give you bad advice.

If you mean, you see a trace going into the pad on either side, that probably means it’s the common or ground (meaning it’s connected to other keys down the line). If there were problems with that pad, it’d probably mean a bunch of other keys are not working as well. Use a multi-meter to check the connections to the ribbon cable are fine. But if it’s only that one key that’s messed up, I’d guess that the problem is with the other pad.
