464 Plus - Keyboard Problem?

[Syncmaster319]

Hi All,

I recently stripped down my 464 plus to give it a proper clean.  This involved taking all the keys and springs off.

Its all reassembled but the keys seem to require more pressure than I would expect.  Is this how the plus range of keys are or have I made a mistake putting it back together?

The springs seem to be the same either way around. 

I had to sort of "screw" the spring into the keycap to get it to stay put as I clicked the key back on.

I also had to shorten one of the springs as it was out of shape and that single key seems much nicer to press

Thanks
Mark

Sorry can't help, seems rather extreme taking all the keys off, I've cleaned a keyboard by taking off the membrane, putting in the bath and using a soft brush, then towelled it down and stuck it in the airing cupboard, worked very well and no need to dismantle all the keys.
