It looks like the trace is falling off? left side of the hotswap can you take another angle of it

That's so interesting Did you have your keyboard in a case?

Do you have a multimeter? wire? soldering iron? how long have you had the board?

i bought it 7~8 months ago i do have them but never tried it, should i connect two sides with solder? I tried to connect them by holding another cable with my finger, but it didn't work 🙂

hmm so this shows there is continuity interesting I still would be surprised if this isn’t what’s causing the issue a wire connecting the diode + hotswap would probably help

i tried that nothing has changed.
do you think mx socket might be the problem?
how can i check it out?

could be! do the leaves look bent backwards

Honestly, there doesn’t seem to be anything visibly abnormal with the leaves. only way to understand if the problem is with the socket to remove it and solder a new one, right? i will buy some other parts from you, can i also buy right pcb separately?
