i actually find a smaller keyboard like this a lot more amenable to my setup, but i always end up missing that tenkey when i don't have it...
IT'S ALIVE! oh thank god the enter key is fixed i really did not want to have to figure out that problem

@sarahzedig gotta say this looks a lot more satisfying than when i did the same on my 2007 vintage Dell membrane keyboard that I've carried through 4 major pc builds now.
as for replacing switches, that's either pretty straightforward (if they're the hot-swap type) or a moderate soldering job. if it's the latter and you're not comfortable with it I'm certain you could find some shrike willing to do it.
@sarahzedig might also just be a matter of spraying some contact cleaner into the switch!
doing this because my enter key stopped registering input about two times out of three presses. reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally hoping this clean fixes the problem because i simply do not have time to figure out how to replace mechanical switches, and i absolutely Do Not want to have to buy a wholeass new keyboard.
(i'm using a small keyboard i have for traveling rn, it's actually really pleasant to use but you have to hold FN to use the arrow keys which is, kind of a drag)
