Repairing traces is way beyond my skill unfortunately. Even if I could source the PCB I'd have to desolder and resolder all the components for a 104 key mechanical keyboard. I'm not great in the first place, and that's probably more costly in time and other parts I'll break than just buying a new keyboard

I'm sorry to hear about your keyboard .

I killed a motherboard by getting a scratch on it and doing a really bad solder job.

Which keyboard are you going to get?

I have the more current version of the same one in my amazon cart (Corsair K70 RGB Pro with reds) Haven't pulled the trigger yet though, I'm going wander /r/mk tomorrow a bit first Maybe see what Ducky has in a full set.

Got fed up with the monitor swap. The size was better on my eyes, the panel itself was hot garbage. So I picked up a 31.5" curved Acer QLED that will do 1440p and 180hz. That should help. Definitely looks better. I put it on the VESA mount and it's too high, so it'll have to go on the stand but not a huge deal there.

I dug out a S7 edge I have here and it is so much lighter than my Pixel 6. It is slow on some things though.

If you ever want to improve your skills, invest in a good soldering iron. It's been a long time since I soldered for a living, but when I did, Metcals were pretty good.
