An appeal to Model M owners

[Muirium]

springs can be pulled out and sticked back into barrels onto the plippers, just need to rub grease over them to make them Softouch ....

not quite a complicated job but could be a little time-consuming.

That sounds like an insanely treacherous undertaking with almost no chance for success.

Tedious, perhaps, but doable.

It would be much easier just to disassemble the entire keyboard to get at the individual springs/pivot plates instead of fiddling around with chopsticks.

This post and this post offers some insight as to what kind of grease to use; would be interesting to attempt the mod if I ever found a grease with these properties.

I do actually have a Model M2 open at the moment, to install a Teensy. Any suggestions for a spring mod well suited to its character? Knowing full well it's a very different board!

Check the photo below. The scroll lock key is a little lower than others, because I've taken its spring out and replaced the broken spring of key "D" with it. reinstall springs back might be tricky jobs but if you know the method it's no more difficult than pulling them out.Maybe using chopsticks make me more dexterous...anyway, I don't need to remove dozens of plastic rivets to fix this.
