I've had my Das keyboard for a long time, I wouldn't be surprised if it has been two years already. I was bored watching The Office and just messing with my keys. I was pulling the 1, 2 and 3 keys back with my fingers (if you can't visualize it, hold your 1, 2 and 3 keys with your fingers and just pull back). I did this with way too much force apparently and heard a snap from what I remember. Now my 1 key now sounds like this:

In that video I hit 1 and 2 over and over again so you can hear the difference in sound.

I have tried switching between the 1 and the 2 keycaps and the issue still remains, so it's not keycaps. What the hell did I do? I am planning on going topre relatively soon, and the key still register without issues.. but that makes me sad

You might have kinked the click leaf inside the switch. You will need to solder in a new switch.

DAS is plate-mounted, right? If so, you'll have to purchase one now switch, and resolder them all.

That doesn't sound fun at all. Oh well, no big deal since I am going topre soon anyways. At least the key works too, still!

Thanks guys for the replies
