Use this guide as a reference on how to maintain and repair a Lekker Switch - Linear45 (L45) switch on a Wooting Keyboard.
In the case that users face inconsistency or other issues with key presses, there is a possibility that dust and debris may be interfering with the keyboard sensor and the magnet inside the switch. Cleaning out the switch interior can fix this unless there is a software issue.
If problematic key presses are caused by a cracked switch housing or the spring is worn out, a switch and/or spring replacement will be required. Refer to the guide instructions as they point out which steps relate to each target fix.
