How to Fix a Broken Mechanical Keyboard

Soldering Iron on Amazon (affiliate): https://locally.link/iSjH This is a Cooler Master MasterKeys Pro L, and it needs repairing. This isn’t the first keyboard I’ve repaired, but I figured this was a good opportunity to show you what tools you’ll need, and how to repair a mechanical keyboard. I’ll save you the spiel about why you might want to repair your keyboard, suffice to say it’s cheaper to buy a hot air station than it is to buy a new keyboard, and screw pointless e-waste, so let’s get right into it. Now of course mechanical keyboards can fail in a bunch of ways, and this one is arguably the most minor, as a number of LEDs have started to fail. It is pretty old these days - old enough to have genuine Cherry MX pre-patent-lift switches no less - but while we’re in there I’ll talk you through some of the other ways they can fail and how to fix them.
