G710+ key resisting push

[Colt_0pz]

The b key on my g710+ requires more force than the other keys to get moving for some reason. What could it be?  (It is resisting being pushed down at a normal force so i have to push harder to register a press.)

probably just need to clean it. take the keycap off, clean it, clean the switch. plenty of videos on youtube detailing how.

sounds like the switch needs some lubing. sadly that requires removing the switch itself and its housing. perhaps take off the keycap and test pressing it again

just wondering. If the first tip didn't work, how would i have to lube the switch?

you would have to remove the entire switch, which requires desoldering off the pcb if it's pcb mounted.
