While in the process of recording footage I came across a game which required the use of the escape key and mine was not working. I took my keyboard apart to fix that key but when I put it all back together that one worked, but half the others didn't! This is the story of that pain and my telling of how I got it all back up working via an unnecessary dissection of my keyboard.
