Absolutely devastated, but my Wooting Two V1 from back in the kickstarter days has finally had its first significant problem, my numpad 1 key doesn't work anymore. This was after i took the case apart to spray everything out with some canned air, but it's been threatening to give out for awhile before that. I can see in analog mode the keyboard seems to think the key is being held down, and the problem persists after putting a different switch in the same slot. is there any hope of fixing this, or is it time for a new kb? I could in theory solder a new sensor in but i'm not sure what part i'd need or what specifically is wrong. am I cooked?

on the wooting two (not HE) and wooting one you can check emitters with a phone camera in a dark room. they give off a faint purple light if the emitter is working. the sensor next to the emitter cant be tested as easily sadly. for that you have to follow xaizones runbook

I can't see any physical damage, here's my phone camera looking at the nonfunctioning 1 key next to the working 2 key. I don't see any visible damage on the board, and I can't really see anything from either emitter (though I'll have to wait for it to get dark so i can look when the room is dark)

another thing of note, I have my top row of F1-F12 setup as an indicator for key depth, and it's staying maybe 95% full unless I push the broken 1 key all the way in, where it fully illuminates the last key

id also love a picture of the pcb area under the affected keys without rgb but brightly lit with a lamp or such (white light)

#

given it still reacts to it being pressed in fully you dont need to check the emitter in a dark room

#

so given the video and description in the first post my best guess is still corrosion or some sort of sensor malfunction

#

also one thing i forgot to ask is when you said "in analog mode" do you mean the abalog monitor tool? or the aoe effect?
