Ok, This may seem strange but its for a science project xD

Its not really for me, just my curiosity.

 

Do you guys think you could saw, or just break a membrane keyboard in half and still have it work?

Like a DIY Tenkeyless keyboard?

 

Told you its weird 

Actually that is a funny/potentially plausible question XD

 

I am going to hazard a guess and say no, you'll likely tear an important trace on that sheet that sits below the membrane but I can't provide evidence since no one has probably ever asked

I once did the unthinkable, back many headphones ago...

I split an audio split, again
