Hello there, Is there any way to fix a ''broken'' switch? When I tried to remove my ''3'' button today, the switch completely broke, switch is covered in the ''3'' button and I can't get it out. Please help me

Cherry MX Brown switches are easy to replace the keycaps for, as long as you have a tool for it. A cap puller (at least what I call it) can usually be purchased for very cheap, but if you need an immediate solution, it would be best to try to gently unstick the key with either your fingers or something that won't damage the board, possibly a toothpick or a paperclip.

no, dont get me wrong. the thing is that i know how to remove key caps, its just that the actual switch got stuck inside between the key and its almost impossible to get it out.
