Replying to ringo

i enjoy the keyboard I have, its the closest thing i could find to what i had when i was growing up. i just wish it was easier to figure out how to take the Cherry MX Switches out. There must be a tool for this, because they dont appear to pry off. lol.

i had one of those light up ones, it drove me crazy. :)

and they do re-seat if you just pop them back in, right?

Keycap remover and the little tweezers tool is a switch remover. Pull the key caps off and remove the switch and then replace the switch

one looks like a dental torture tool or an egg whisk. not sure what that one does.

if i just want to pull out the whole thing at once, and put a new one?

like, I've got the letter Q repeating itself, randomly for no reason at all..
