First keyboard build; everything was going reasonably fine until I had assembled the whole thing and noticed the backspace key was not sitting right. See picture for culprit. (Not pictured: the idiot who didn’t set the stabilizer correctly) Can I reseat the stabilizer without (further) tearing this thing down to the studs? Help!

You can try fidgeting with some tweezers and holding stuff in the right direction but it’s a bit advance. Since it’s hotswap just redo it, it’s not that bad. Or you can not use a stab. 2u stabs are barely useful.

Thanks for the tip! Pulled the 2u stabilizer and called the build complete. Cheers.
