GoKawiilCompaq MX-11800 keyboard mod reveals matrix wiring quirk across two units
A hobbyist attempted to upgrade a Compaq MX-11800 keyboard by desoldering its original switches and installing Gateron Milky Yellow Pro V2 switches, first via direct soldering and then using Mill-Max 3305 hotswap sockets. Both attempts resulted in only the same small subset of keys functioning, even across two separate keyboard units, pointing to a deeper issue with the board's internal wiring rather than a soldering mistake.
