ABC Mechanical Keyboard inconsistent "W" key

[crispyb]

I've had this keyboard for a few years now and its working great. Unfortunately about 2 weeks ago, the "w" key stopped working intermittently and now does not work at all. How would I go about fixing this? Can I just remove the key and replace it?

This is the keyboard.

Advice is appreciated!

Ripster Guide: Removing ALPS Keys

your key switch may be dying. you can try pulling the cap off but I doubt it will do anything for you. The actually keys are soldered onto the circuit board and would be a pain to remove/replace

Thx Jiminator. Looks difficult, but I will give it a try!
