hey i have a model m in good shape except for the space bar, which often misses and sticks. is there anything to be done to fix it? i have already inspected the spring, it looks good and is identical to the one i pulled from the keypad * key. swapped spring and still did it; even snapped the * key into the space bar slot and still did it, so its not a sticky/broken stabilizer or anything related to that. this is some crazy membrane poo poo right?

Is there a wireless mechanical that uses the Logitech unifying receiver (not the Logitech-Gaming one, that's different for whatever dumbass reason) and has RGB lights such that it can do that cool breathing effect? E: And it needs a keypad as Brother Shaggar notes. Schadenboner fucked around with this message at 16:21 on Jul 9, 2021 |

Jonny 290 posted:bump. I take it you used some contact cleaner? most model m issues afaik are related to bad contacts and are either fixed via cleaning them or what was called the “bolt mod” which iirc is where you replace the rivets that hold the assembly with bolts so you end up with a firmer/better contact. is that worth 50$ to you??

jonny, keep the M and fix it up

I am aware of the bolt mod. I'm 99% sure the issue is between the membranes; I did spritz some contact cleaner down there but i think the 'top membrane' is closed so it probably didn't get down into where it needs to. I think i can power through 84 chisels and drill to clean and re-bolt it. Just an evening in front of the teevee

Agile Vector posted:sorry to keep verging on mouse chat buuut i know it's late but thanks for posting this, i ended up doing the swap and that disassembly guide was a huge help. seems quite a bit better even with totally dry bearings and a clean ball. not sure if i'll do the lube after all. i definitely think the screws holding the cup assembly together weren't tight enough from the factory. after i swapped the bearings i really snugged the screws down and there's no noticeable movement from any of the bearings--as it should be.

You can always replace the switches in a keyboard with different ones, for example I once replaced all the switches in my kinesis advantage with cherry blues
