Virus KB Dead Keys !

So I eventually acquired my Virus form ebay. But, the low C sustains forever and the c# next to it is totally dead.

Waiting on a response form the seller.

Is this likely to be circuitry or can it be fixed easily? (for those that have experienced this kind of thing)

I dont mind a partial refund if its repairable as I got a fairly good deal.

So, those people in the know, do you think its better to return it and stick with it and try to get the keys fixed?

Hi,
dead keys are most probably due to bad rubber strip (not the circuitry).
If I remember correctly, Virus TI KB keybed is manufactured by Fatar, so it's very probable you only need to change one of this :

Just a quick note/idea...
Have you made sure KB is not in split keyboard mode?
Not sure about the sustained key tho
Hope that might help you

Thanks for the help . I don't thInk it's in spit mode but I. An check after work . Very
I h doubt it .
I am not keyboard or tech savvy so approx how much does it cost to replace the strip in a repair shop ?

I got the virus for 450 quid . Do members of he forum think I should get my cash back or ask for a discount and get it fixed ?

The guy is offering to give me 50 quid back .

Thanks again .
