Its a Razer Blackwidow elite I got for cheap, the listing just said “sold as is” and had some pictures. Didn’t mention anything about bad keys. Kicking myself now for trying to cheap out. My question is if there is anything I can do to repair it. If so is it worth doing? The switches are not hot swappable if that’s important.

    Probably savable, I guess it just depends how much time / effort you want to sink into it.

    I recommend starting by finding where the problem is. Try shorting the pins that are soldered to the board, that will tell you if it’s the switch itself that’s broken.

    There seems to be a fair few videos on YouTube around this type of keyboard repair aswell.
