I'd like to buy a vowel

[DailyDi]

The "I" key is going on my keyboard. Only working half the time, pissing off autocorrect lol. I've had this one for years, so i guess its time for a new one when  have the money.

Time for relevant funny meme!   But, could it be something as simple as dirt stuck in the mechanism?

I’ll throw you a few extra “I’s” to use I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I , i i i i i i i i i i i i i

Probably worth turning it upside down and giving it a good shake.

I gave it a handy blow job with the old can 'o air, and it doesn't seem to be helping. I thick the switch is going bad.

Sounds like it

Are we sure that this isn't just Irritable Vowel Syndrome?

Maybe an involuntary vowel movement?

Usually you can take the keyboard apart and clean the contacts under the keys. It depends on the type of the keyboard, but usually there is a PCB under a silicone rubber sheet and you can clean the contacts on the panel with alcohol for example. There are contact cleaning sprays too and if you see oxidation on the contact (can't be an issue with gilded contacts), you can use some weak acids too. But sometimes it's enough to partially take it apart, as it can slightly change the position of the switches on the contacts. If the silicone is not a single sheet but every key has its own little silicone button it's probably better not to disturb it.

Try s[raying a little compressed air between the key and under it. That may fix it.
