Re:

Wait, you have a keyboard with those switches in? Yeah. It's on facit typewriter similar to the one Haata posted way back https://deskthority.net/photos-videos-f64/facit-8111-2-typewriter-t12424.html . Which also had unusual mount and same caps. Gorgeous caps by the way ;) Maybe that's the reason f...

you could try buying a used one or one that doesn't even work anymore for parts (ebay, etc..) you could try contacting kensington but i doubt they sell individual parts like that.

Used a Razer Krait for years & years till the switches started to fail. Currently using CM Storm Recon. It's a little taller than i usually get, but i really like it. Optical, programmable, enough easily reachable buttons. I Really liked the adjustability & programability of the RAT7 but the laser s...

Not positive what the base of Shoe Goo is, but i am very familiar with it. It will definitely be harder/stiffer than silicone caulk/sealant. Shoe Goo probably will not silence near as much as the silicone. Picture it somewhere between silicone & epoxy putty. Shoe Goo will adhere to just about anythi...

apologies for reviving a dead thread.... obviously by the look it's IIc/IIgs era (1984-1986) but pre-dates the ADB keyboard (going by the cable & bezel). there was also the "Cassie Prototype Keyboard". very similar, minus the bezel. http://www.applefritter.com/?q=node/294 http://www.applefritter.com...

swapped the switch & still not being recognized. shorting pins/pads on pcb gets no response either. guessing it has to be something in the firmware at this point. being a non-programmable board, i don't know if there's a way to fix it, if that's where the problem lies.

any suggestions?

Did a quick test, switch is reading the same as others (aprox .2ohm when pressed, all tests done while keyboard is unplugged) Guess i'll have to wait until my parts come & try some cleaning/swapping... Diode looks in good shape and is acting as the others when tested with meter. Correct me if i'm wr...

Oooh, i didn't even think about that... good point. Even if it is making a connection, if the reading is way off it could be throwing off the reading/scan.

Ordered some parts last evening for a numberpad i want to do a switch swap on so i'll have some extra parts if needed.

Thanks again.

If none of the other keys in the row/column are having issues, I doubt it's a trace issue. - no, it's only that key Are the solder joints solid? - yes, all look good It's pointing to a controller issue right now. Can you check to see if it's outputting a code that isn't assigned to anything? If not...
