Recently I’ve gotten lucky and acquired myself a used but in fairly good condition Chicony kb-5181 keyboard.
Here is my beauty!
Upon cleaning it, I’ve discovered that the stabilizers from under the enter key (Big-ass-enter) were missing.
This is underneath the key and where the stabilizers should be.
Without them the key still functions, however I need to press relatively close to switch for it to go down. If i try to press on the top of the key it doesn't budge.
I’ve looked several times online for pictures of stabilizers under the enter key but came up with nothing. I also have a few spares but were unsuccessful with attaching them.
These are my spare stabilizers and mounts for them.
I did try inserting the stabilizers that I have, but they don't seem to work. The key doesnt want to go down when I try to do both (one large, one small). If i only do one large stabilizer, the key becomes sticky and doesn't come up after I press it. So this makes me wonder if the ones under the enter key are some sort of specially shaped ones. Like I've mentioned before, I tried to look online for a pic of how they're supposed to look, but didnt find anything. Maybe it's because this keyboard is not that common.
The missing stabilizers are by no means a deal breaker for me (I just love this keyboard!), but I’d like for everything to work on this keyboard.
Any advice, pictures or comments greatly appreciated!
