Any way to replace a switch?

Go to solution Solved by peaking duck,

you could open it up and check the solder points for that switch.

or better yet, order a replacement switch from wasdkeyboards.com before hand just in case u need to replace it

So I've been with the keyboard (K60) for 2 years now, and the "e" key has been starting to fail, sometimes it registers twice, sometimes it's just doesn't register at all, so my guess is that the switch is starting to die (?) so I was wondering if instead of getting a new Keyboard, I could just get another switch and change it for a new one

I had the same issue with my K60, I've even ordered the replacement switches already but haven't gotten around to fixing it.

Here's where I bought them, they're cheaper per switch than wasdkeyboards: http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=845
