I got my KBT Race 2 keyboard today and right off the bat went to install 2 MX Blue switches in place of Tilde and 1. I popped off the switch for the tilde key and installed a blue switch fine, but for the 1 key next to it I messed up and broke the metal contact prong for the switch and the LED, so I took it apart and soldered in a new switch, everything was working fine after I put it together and plugged it in. I was playing around with some of the keys and accidentally went into programming mode with Fn + RightCtrl then something happened and my keyboard has not functioned properly since then.

When I re-plug the keyboard, I am able to get it to light up, but no keys will send to the computer except for the Windows key, alt, and Fn + Function keys (to control volume). If I re-plug the keyboard and press the windows key it proceeds to open every application on my task bar and types `12345`12345 over and over again until I press the windows key again. I can get back into programming mode but the Pn key will just blink until I re-plug the keyboard. The factory reset listed in the manual using Fn + R appears to work as the Toggle button blinks 9 times, but nothing happens.

Does anyone know if there's something I can do to fix this?
 
Solution
Problem solved: When I soldered in the new switch I messed up and the solder caused a bridged connection causing my keyboard to not function properly. I have resoldered the switch correctly and everything is working.
