this isnt a simple yet efficient mod....but a cheapo and efficient repair

heres a pic of the patient....its a cheapo wireless keyboard with integrated cursor control (aka built in mouse) this is what i use to control my HTPC. works perfectly except for 1 thing...

see the thing in the yellow circle? thats where the KB is spoiled...theres a plastic piece under it..its BROKEN!!!

makes controlling the cursor friggin difficult....

heres a pic of the broken plastic piece under the rubber

seperating them

picture of the plastic piece...can see that its broken

so after opening it up....and fixing it (forgot to take pix....sorry) heres the end result...i replaced the plastic piece with something that confirm wont break... a metal screw!

just screw it in to the spring inside only.......the rubber piece cant be fitted in...coz the screw too long and i dont have a shorter screw.

and finally the overall look

repairs done....and cost is FREE!!! doesnt look too bad.... and best of all its working perfectly again

this also saved me from paying more money buying a replacement
