You will have to replace the key which may require resoldering the entire key to the keyboard PCB. Some of the old Cherry key switches had replaceable internals. Haven’t seen Cherry keys in a long time.

If it is new then there should be a warranty probably 90 days. Contact the manufacturers customer service and ask for an RMA. Some companies will send the replacement out first and have you box up the old one and return it in the box the replacement came in.

I am considering getting the PCB printed from a manufacturer and do the SMT via a machine my self. Do you think it is good idea？

The reason i an planning to do is i need 50-100 circuits boards every few weeks and the cost of PCB printing is less but PCBA SMT is huge. As manufacturer charges around $400 for any new design. So i thought of getting a machine so i can do it my self. I have no experience in doing that so would like to get some opinions.

Is there a standard that defines that the marking actually has to indicate the cathode?

SMD LEDs normally have some kind of marking. We recently had 300 PCBs manufactured where each had 32 LEDs of those. However, the assembly house placed all LEDs in reverse. The cathode is not consistent with the marking of the actual LED that was mounted. Is there a standard defining this?
