Yep just swap the dome under the windows key with one that you're not having problems with, if the problem goes away on the windows key but arises on the key you put that dome under, then it's the dome at fault. If the problem goes away entirely, the positioning of the dome was off. Nice looking bo...

Just on a side note.. Could this problem have anything to do with the lube/ oil i used ?? ( SuperLube oil; partnumber 51004 and SuperLube grease partnumber 21030) the reason why i mixed a dab of grease in the oil was hoping that i wouldn't dry-out as fast as it does.. the amount of SuperLube grease ...

what do you mean by misbehaving ? if it's not actuating or anything like that : usually when that happens you've just put your board together badly and that something is not placed right, aligner right or something of the sort ... so open it up and align everything in the most perfect way there is ...

For me, personally... assuming that your primary role is to desolder keyboards I would go with the 1.8mm. Reason? When I de-solder keyswitches I drop the desoldering iron directly down onto the joint, the solder melts and the switches pin penetrates into the open iron hole all the way down until fl...

The Filco is so shit for this. The UV coating on their caps is like the Juicy Fruit chewing gum -- great while it lasts, which happens to be about 2 minutes.

prefer the bottom model just remove the F-row and it's a better layout in my humble opinion.
Don't like that strange shift/arrow-up combo.. just make the board a bit wider..
As long as it's around the same size as my FC660C.
But i do like the back lighting
