Keeping distracted

I need to get my keyboard working. You know, that mechanical one that freaks out. I suppose I should start by chasing a work area, but then to business.
– look at what the keyboard is actually saying to the computer
– look for loose connections on the inside
– proceed from there
…our I could just designer the while thing, remove all the key caps, remove the extraneous keys, strap it all onto a new board run by a Teensy. I should start with the above, fix it if I can, then do the latter.
