Unable to quickly review PRs due to broken keyboard

[MFarabi619]

Description

Keyboards are electro-mechanical devices used to interface with other devices known as personal computers which are used by humans to speed up computation. Therefore, keyboards are classified as human interface devices.

I encountered a possible defective key switch issue on my hand-assembled split keyboard. To kick off the debugging marathon, I did sudo pacman -Syu which then broke my laptop keyboard too. Therefore, I as a human(hopefully) am now currently unable to interface with my personal computer entirely.

I resorted to shuffling up the switches on my split keyboard, during which I received a phone call. I made the wise decision of taking the call and ended up making the problem worse by forgetting which switch(es) were defective. I must now therefore replace the entire set and pray that this is not a PCB matrix issue; if so, then RIP me.

The key switch happened to conveniently belong to my Ctrl key, which is one of my most beloved keys given that I am an unfortunate Emacs doomer.

Due to my keyboard-driven workflow, this is an urgent gating issue. It not only hinders my ability to review PRs, but it also affects my quality of life as I live out of Emacs. It also humbles me to remain with code and think twice before venturing into circuits.

To Reproduce

1. Hotswap old linear switches back in.
2. Activate n-key rollover (NKRO).
3. Activate keylogger.
4. Keep smashing all keys to build up a solid dataset.
5. Do statistical analysis to see which keys don't print most often.

Expected behavior
My keyboard must stop not working so I can continue running into more bugs.

I was so eager to view the fabled fax machine, and unfortunately I played this at full volume on my speakers in the office today...

To atone for my carelessness I must now face hours of awkward silence sitting at my desk, reflecting on my mistake.
