Hey all,
I got a 512k recently, and the keyboard has a broken stem on the backspace key. I have ordered a new switch and replacement keycap, but since the original switch still works (only the stem is snapped), I was wondering if there was a way for me to simply swap the stems out, rather than de-soldering the old switch and re-soldering a new switch. It looks like there are tabs on the switch, but I didn't want to mess anything up prior to receiving my replacement parts and asking on the board.
thanks!
