If your Percent Studio Trio-60 mechanical keyboard has a faulty switch, use this guide to repair it. This guide will show you how to easily disassemble and repair a key switch so that you are able to use your mechanical keyboard again.
Most of the materials needed for this guide are common household materials or can easily be acquired. The highest cost item is probably the desoldering tool. You can use a hand pump, but investing in an electric desoldering tool would make the process much easier.
