I was playing osu!mania and one o my keys just stopped working. I was really hoping it was just an osu! bug, but it wasn't..

So.. is there any way I can repair this switch by mysel? Or I have to go to some keyboard repairing guy?

guess what key is not working you'll get a kiss rom me

Is it your escape key from retrying too much

Anyway, you should be able to buy one of the switch online and change it yourself

If the keyboard isnt hotswappable i assume youll need to resolder a new one on there if the switch is broken.

(press f to pay respects to this man's f key)

also I wish a good retirement to my s, d, and ; keys, who barely escaped the same fate this f key has met.

It depends on if the keyboard is hot-swappable or not. Maybe it's because you got switches that don't last that long. I personally use Razer Yellow switches, which last for up to 80 million strokes. Maybe try Razer Greens (I believe those to be like any blue switch).
