fixing my own keyboard

[pomkon]

my corsiar k95 has 1 faulty key, out of warranty

 

the W sometimes dont register. is it possible for me for soldering a new cherry switch on it? 

 

No visible screws at the back, it seems they are under the rubber feet.

Yes, it's 100% possible.

Might be an obvious suggestion, but have you tried looking up some teardown videos/guides on the Corsair K95 and finding a resolution for if you can take apart the keyboard? Might give you a definite answer on whether you're able to access the culprit switch for re-soldering.

Entirely possible since I've recently had one of my Tealios switch die on me, I think I can fix it by adjusting the leaf inside by disassembling the switch though so I'm good in that regard.

 

If you're up for it, would definitely recommend opening up and seeing if the switch is the issue.
