Default Fixed my new broken chinese keyboard

Chinese Blue Mechanical Keyboard Switches.

A dozen mini-screw attachments, 5 regular, the rest of which I got to
with a Chinese mobile phone repair kit. (Some 30 or so usual
screw-type fittings in today's micro and otherwise manufacturing
jigsaw fits.)

Pulled it apart, two pieces with many interlocking plastic joints,
somehow managing not to destroy the keyboard case cover. I managed
not to swear, and the Gods of Graces were probably not offended.

Plugged the "bare boned" keyboard into a spare USB port, two keyboards
running, and variously torqued on the offending individual's keyswitch
housing while activating its switching mechanism.

Became evident of a cold solder joint intermittency, a QC issue, and a
whole lot less work required of me, than microsoldering in and out two
whole keyswitches and associated LED connections.

I fixed with the Chinese keyboard a Chinese copyrighted "Every Man
Woman" soldering station. Including the Chinese mobile phone
disassembly kit, for under $20 of Chinese tools. Warning: Do not try
that on your own under the New President Trump Regime.

Chinese Cree hi-intensity LED flashlight, Chinese x30 jeweler's
inspection loop, large x10 6" overhead magnifier desklamp, Chinese,
all are optional for the true sense of a Chinese sweatshop, on or
nearby the equator, without air conditioning: Get in and out quick,
or wrap up with a towel around your neck before profusely dripping if
you can't take heat.

Ahh...sooo...
