I had sticky keys in my G810. Here is what I did to fix them. Pull the key caps off. Clean all the gunk out of the board. Spray each sticky switch one at a time with DeOxit or WD-40 Contact Cleaner. Put the key cap back on and press several times which will clear the oxidation. Repeat for all sticky switches.
Nice tip, I think these switches have tendency of being oxidized after awhile. I usually put isopropyl alcohol but that only works for a short while. I will try yours method next.
Dude! My tab key would fail like 70% of the time, cleaning it with compressed air or alcohol did nothing. 1 spray with wd 40 right inside made it work 100% of the time!! I love you thank you
Sorry for the English (This is Google translation). Isopropyl alcohol is a good cleaning option. But the brush does not rub the contacts well. On the mouse, cleaning with a concentrator blade helped me (for about a year). Then you also need a thin, hard absorbent material - a toothpick with isopropyl alcohol. WD-40 is a rust thinner. It dries completely in 1-2 weeks. It is better to use a thick, conductive grease
It is not wd-40. It is electric circuit cleaner with oil. Removes corrosion and oxidisation and the oil stays there and improves electrical conductivity. I've tried the toothpick option and it doesn't clean well. Plus it is very time consuming, good luck cleaning 100 keys like that. I don't use that keyboard but I ve just tested it and it works so far.
I have (tap) and (ctrl) their teeth break, so I did stupid solution which is glue the upper switch with the white square stick in the keyboard, and the problem the glue goes down and stuck with something down and now can't use the key anymore, but overall this is shitty keyboard and waste of money, should be designed to withstand a lot of press.
@@iAbod100 Lol, that's what I had been through with my W key. I tried to super glue its broken parts then accidentally glued the key to its socket because the glue spread there somehow... Just buy a new socket and key then do solder it yourself or have someone do it. If the motherboard of the keyboard is not affected it is all fine. I have G810, and lost my W key after a year or so use
I don't know. I have a burnt led as well. It should be possible with the right equipment and skill. The problem is I cannot find the part number to order replacements. If anyone has that info I would gladly give it a try for science purposes.
@@superior284 Hello! Thank you for your DIY video, helped me a lot! Don't know if this helps, but LED part Nr. SMD 0402 1010 RGB. You can find more info on reddit.
I ordered a TTC encoder and it works through a step and adjusts the volume in 4 units instead of 2 units each step as in the original. Have you found an encoder identical to the original one?
I couldn't find an identical one. I used the one on the link bellow the video. it adjusts the volume in increments of 2 but it is not consistent. sometimes it is 4...
@@superior284 I found a solution. Need to order any 5mm encoder and remove this part from it: i.postimg.cc/tTxL6Lpw/IMG-0747-1.jpg After that, the volume control will be smoother like the original.
@@superior284 I ordered several brands on Ali and I can briefly talk about them: 1) CanHui - cheap standard, no lubrication inside, big wheel gap (not recommended); 2) TTC Green - larger elements inside, lubricated, can be recommended; 3) ALPS - standard, lubricated, copper contacts, no 5 mm size (recommended if you will use a file and wire cutters for 7mm size); 4) Huano - standard, lubricated, harder to disassemble, closed case (good dust protection), recommended.
i took mine apart because the volume roller was tight to turn and it looks like the roller switch was in sideways and when i went to turn it the wires broke off and i dont know which wire goes where there are red blue and black. can you tell/show me the correct wiring order?
Here is a link. buy the 5mm ones. The feel is not identical with original encoder, it is a bit rougher, but gets the job done and they are extremely cheap. www.aliexpress.com/item/32873160208.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.21ef1802KhWYdq
They are mechanical, as stated by Staurwmenos, and the PCB is incompatible with any other kind of mechanical switches. You can only use Romer G switches on a Romer G keyboard.

Thanks for posting and Happy New Year! By the way, @12:56, your English is excellent.
I was able to repair both my chattering keys and volume wheel by just spraying WD-40 - Electric Spray inside them. Everything works without issue now.

Hi thx for Video. I soldering 2 switches new one and now the led light is working but no other, another switch is not working too. What can be wrong ?
I would like to know how to replace those diodes)
hello.
19:49 Can i ask What are you applying to the electrical board?
soldering flux
@@superior284 thank you so much !
Have a good day Mr. staurwmenos :)
great video. thanks a lot
Can you replace the LEDs underneath the keys?
I don't know. I have a burnt led as well. It should be possible with the right equipment and skill. The problem is I cannot find the part number to order replacements. If anyone has that info I would gladly give it a try for science purposes.

No color coded wires on mine. I posted a link to an image of the volume wheel wiring in the video description. I hope it helps.

19:55 Quelle est le produit qui est injecté ? Quelle est son utilité ?
Can be switched to a mechanical switch?
romer g are mechanical switches

great job
lets be honest, this romer-g sucks... afterr about a year, it starts doubling the click and failing or getting stuck.
