Hi everyone, I have a Keychron Q1 (V1) which works pretty good for few months.
Yesterday, I started to try to mod it for the first time, following this tuto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kg_Ia7eiik&t=17s
I did all the steps except the switch and stab lubrications.
And this morning, when I started my computer, I realized that some keys don't work anymore, I did a test on via app and here is the result:

Notes:
- I noticed that some keys (the T for example) are OK but I have to type few times to trigger it.
- Instead of the PE foam, I used polypropylene from a shopping bag (two layers), and I checked, the pins did drill it.
- I put 3 layers of masking tape under the PCB, I heard that it could create some interferences ?
- I tried to clean the PCB with a small brush (just a little dust but that's all)
Here are some pictures of these modifications:

Thank you for your advices. I hope I didn't fuck my keyboard.
Issue on my Keychron Q1 after modding.

- Main keyboard: Keychron Q1

- Favorite switch: Gateron Phantom Red
I just fix it. The issue was because of the polypropylene layers. The first layer was perforated by the switches' pins, but not the second layer. I removed one layer, it worked much more, but i still felt some false contacts. So I ended up to removed all the polypropylene layers...
