Key switch woobly

Just finished my first build and the space bar is having this behavior where if I tap on the corner, the whole keyswitch comes out of the socket Any fix?

That sounds frustrating! It sounds like the hotswap socket might not be fully secured to the PCB. Here's what I recommend: 1. Take the case off. 2. Gently push the hotswap socket back into the PCB. 3. Add a bit more solder to each side of the socket to ensure it's making good contact. Check out our single key not working guide for more details. Let me know if that helps! If not, tag me again and we can troubleshoot further.

It doesn't look like you are inserting the switches into the switch plate. Am I seeing that correctly?
