One more topic about this same issue: Framework 16 7040 keyboard key not working
Has anyone yet tried to dissect a keyboard to see if there is any material reason for the issue? Has that layer of aerogel improved the situation for anyone?
I shot some photos with a thermal camera, but there doesn’t seem to be any excessive heat points directly under or around the affected keys (W, E, D, CapsLock). I couldn’t reliably link the issue to the temperature in general either, as the keys being mostly dead still work some time, and their reliability doesn’t seem to correspond to the system load & temperature.
far left corner where the affected E, W, D keys are (upside-down, closer):
