Hello.
I just finished replacing the switches on my Masterkeys Pro keyboard. The problem is that now 5 switches do not work, more precisely tab, caps lock, q, a and f8. All the switches look soldered correctly and I didn't notice any lifted pads. I tried to put back on one of the original switches but it didn't work either. One thing I noticed is that if I touch one of the pads where the non-working switched are soldered to, the keyboard does register an input, so I guess the pcb is fine.
Still, I can't figure out what exactly went wrong. Can anybody help me figure this out, please?
Thanks.

Do you have a multimeter? If so, can you use it to check continuity?

Can you attempt to handwire the connections where the traces normally run for the switches that aren't working and let us know if that works?

I hand wired the tab switch to the tilde one. The tab still does not work, but the tilde now work as the tab key... I soldered the left pins.ZedTheMan wrote: 29 Mar 2019, 20:58 Can you attempt to handwire the connections where the traces normally run for the switches that aren't working and let us know if that works?
