Resistance is futile Rejuvenating vintage computer keyboard key contacts

About this video

Amiga 500 keys that no longer register are the starting point for a method of reviving key contacts with too high a resistance. The video reports what failed and what worked.

Good to know: The maker found that what worked on remote control keypads did not carry across to the Amiga and C64 key stems.

Why watch it

Nearly two years of attempts sit behind this method, so the dead ends are part of the story. Check which kind of contact your keyboard has before trying it.
