In most cases, its not worth trying to clean the keyboard, most of the parts are not really designed for you to pull apart and put back together, not to mention all it takes is one broken piece and the key wo not sit correctly, or stay in place. You would be suprised, but laptop keyboards can be very reasonable to replace. In addition, in most cases, there are only 1-2 screws that need to be removed to replace the entire unit. HP/Compaq, call tech support for a replacement keyboard, or call a local service center. Dell Call 1-800-924-9896 and choose the order option, and then the accessory option, and then the spare part option. Gateway you can order online at mundocorp.sparepartswarehouse.com, I've used both, though you get your best price by going directly to whoever makes the part (IE the company that makes the laptop) Hope it helps.

Fifth generation (Magic Keyboard)

Apple unveiled the next-generation 16-inch MacBook Pro on November 13, 2019, replacing the 15-inch model from the previous generation. Similar in size to its predecessor, it has a larger 16-inch 3072x1920 Retina display set in a narrower bezel, the largest MacBook screen since the 17-inch unibody MacBook Pro that was discontinued in 2012. It has a physical Escape key; a Touch Bar, a multi-touch-enabled OLED strip atop the keyboard in place of the function keys; and a now-separate sapphire-glass-covered Touch ID sensor at the right end of the Touch Bar that doubles as a power button. It uses a scissor mechanism keyboard almost identical to Apple's wireless Magic Keyboard, providing more travel than the previous generation's "Butterfly" keyboard. Like its predecessor, the 16-inch MacBook Pro has four combination Thunderbolt 3 ports that support USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 and dual DisplayPort 1.4 signals, providing 60163384 output to run the Pro Display XDR at full resolution. Any port can be used for charging, it includes a 96W USB-C power adapter. At launch only the included adapter and the Pro Display XDR provide full host power. Peripherals that delivered 87W for the previous generation 15-inch model, such as LG Ultrafine displays, are recommended to be used with a separate power supply. It also has a 3.5 mm headphone jack. It uses the same Coffee Lake CPUs as the 2019 15-inch model. Purchasers can choose between AMD Radeon Pro 5300M or 5500M GPUs with up to 8GB of GDDR6 memory (or from June 2020 onwards, a 5600M GPU with 8 GB of HBM2 memory), up to 64GB of 2667MHz DDR4 memory, and up to 8TB of SSD storage. It includes better speakers, a better three-microphone array, and a 100 Wh battery, the largest that can be easily carried onto a commercial airliner under U.S. Transportation Security Administration rules. On May 4, 2020, Apple announced updated 13-inch models with the Magic Keyboard. The four Thunderbolt port version comes with Ice Lake processors, updated graphics, up to 32GB of memory and 4TB of storage, and supports 6K output to run the Pro Display XDR. The two Thunderbolt port version has the same Coffee Lake processors, graphics, and maximum storage and memory as the 2019 two Thunderbolt port models. ReceptionReception to the 16-inch MacBook Pro was generally positive. Laptop Mag called the keyboard "much-improved". The Verge praised the new keyboard, microphones, and speakers, but criticized the lack of peripherals such as an SD card slot. 9to5Mac criticized the use of a 720p webcam and older 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard, noting that Apple's iPhone 11 family included a 4K front-facing camera and faster Wi-Fi 6. MacWorld also noted the lack of Face ID. Another review noted that the 2020 two Thunderbolt port 13-inch model is unable to run Apple's Pro Display XDR at full resolution, while the lower-priced 2020 MacBook Air can. There are numerous reports of cracked screens caused from closing the unit with a physical webcam cover due to reduced clearance compared to previous models. Technical specifications

The author declares that there is interest in this article, please respect the author and the content shared, communicate friendly, and make rational decisions~

sunset80 is a customized TKL keyboard kit, this keyboard is really beautiful, with low-key narrow side frame and sunset RGB decorative lights,

And although you can't see it, it is still very trendy mirror weight and titanium mascus press forged titanium weight.

The first experience is really heavy, the keyboard bag I received this time is just the black color I like, Lucky~

Inside, a super-large keyboard cloth is sent, and the positioning board, PCB, and sound-absorbing cotton are also packaged in separate plastic shells.

Opening the curtain, let’s take a recent photo of the titanium mascus counterweight and decorative lamp. Surprisingly, the decorative lamp is also made of the same material, so beautiful~

PCB, in fact, the main feature of this model is welding and steelless configuration, so the fixed position of Gasket is made on PCB instead of positioning board.

Therefore, there is no PCB slotting process like many kits. You can open and install after finishing all the shaft seats with tweezers~

The axis used this time is Wallaby, and Jiadalong’s new flagship is an early stage axis.

I heard that the initial batches of the model were poorly run, and there were a lot of shafts with new oil, which led to smelly shafts.

After the actual test on my side, it has actually been reduced a lot, and only one of the 90 pieces has been oiled.

But there will be an obvious sound of shrapnel, if you mind, you still have to take it apart and re-run it

In terms of actual playing feeling, it is really comfortable. Like a typewriter, the double-segment spring is also very handy.

Of course the volume is not politely loud

However, due to the low grammage of the spring, it is mainly on the blank key. If you use a thicker blank keycap, it may be a bit awkward.

Deliberately raise your hand very slowly, or even fail to rebound,

It can be solved by changing the spring.

This time I was lazy and chose the specifications of hot-swappable and PC positioning boards. I used TX 2023 AP for the satellite axis.

But the steel wire I got this time is slightly crooked, and I still need to make a small concave.

Also done the processing of the patch in the fake shaft and the lubrication of the shaft of XHTBDZ and 105+205MIX.

Finished, like the personal thick sound, stuffed well.

Finally assembled, remember that the PCB cable should be correctly embedded in the groove of the counterweight, the installation of the two cables, and the positioning column of the PCB in the shell also need to be plugged.

There is also a protective film for the weight of the mirror on the back that must be torn off, hehe

Next is the keycap, this time I want dark, blue, decorative lights will also be lit in blue, blue and green, similar to the feeling of the deep sea

So when I saw KAT Atlantis, I was deeply attracted by the replaced ancient symbol keycaps and color schemes, so I decided to choose this one! !

You can see the beautiful two-color molding pattern on the inner side of this model, but the soup mouth on the outer side is a bit obvious, which is a pity for QQ

Done spicy!!!

There is also the typing sound, the overall feeling is not muffled, but brittle between the tea shaft, maybe this is the so-called clack

Summarize

In fact, this one has some small disadvantages:

1.sunset80 has shaft lights, only white light, and very dark, compared with capslock, other shafts are much dimmer,

When the light is turned on, there is almost no white light, and only a small reflection can be seen on the wallaby shaft of the transparent cover.

In addition, I don't know why it is very dark, but it has 30 levels of brightness,

So I often can't feel his brightness change, and then keep pressing the head, reset until the axis light is turned off, and I have to press it 30 times again.

2. WKL is not a disadvantage at all

In addition to TKL, it is still WKL, that is, without the windows key, there is a subtle symmetrical beauty visually,

But both windows and macOS have very useful functions on the windows key,

For example, range screenshots, clipboard, switching desktops, vscode copy and drag, multi-cursor, etc.,

The last customary configuration is to tie windows to the alt position on the right.

In fact, this is more convenient, because on the macOS used at work, you often need to press a bunch of command+shift+option+ a bunch of keys,

I often get my fingers stuck together, which is not comfortable. At this time, pull the option to the right and press it more accurately~

3. Weight, the weight after assembly is 3.08 kg. Carry this monster to the company for use, commuting until you are sweating profusely and out of breath. Orz

For the above, I probably won't change it for a long time, probably (super guilty.
