Repair for Model 01 needed - broken space button

The space button for my Model 01 is broken. It previously broke and was professionally repaired by the keyboard.io team, but now it’s broken again.

Is the keyboard.io team still doing repairs? Or does anyone know of anyone else who can do the repairs? They can be anywhere in the world, it’s not urgent, so I can wait for the keyboard to be mailed back-and-forth.

Hi fred,

Seeing the time since you posted: good that it is not urgent!

Is it broken as in, the switch is broken?

Anyone with mediocre soldering skill and a new switch at hand can replace it. The annoying thing is getting hold of a new switch. There was a moderately recent thread in which someone mentioned compatible switches from Aliexpress. → this is not the advertisement I had in mind, but at least it is labeled as ALPS-compatible: Outemu otm gaote alps switch Clicky 30g Linear 60g like alps switches Matias switch for mechanical keyboards
