I have leftovers key-caps, but unfortunately no leftover switches.
Is it a hot swappable switch? If it is, pop it out and take it apart, you’ll need to push the stems from the holes but once it’s apart it’s fairly trivial to do. If it is not hot swappable you can probably pry it apart but it will be considerably harder.
You could try using a thin sharp object, like a sewing needle, and heating it up with a lighter, and then stabbing it into the broken off pieces. Once it’s had a few minutes to cool off, hopefully the melted plastic sticks to the needle and you can pull it out.
That worked. Good idea!
I was thinking about dipping a toothpick in super glue and touching the stem after spraying some activator on the stem, but your style sounds better.
That seems risky! It’s so small, unless you have an extremely steady hand (and preferably experience) it would be really easy to accidentally get glue on the sides or top
Are those sunsets? I’ve got a few spares if you can’t fix this one.
Thats genuinely a really sweet thing to offer someone
