Enjoying my new uConsole, but have found that the ‘U’ key is a little bit unresponsive, leading to lots of errors, especially when typing:

**sdo apt pdate**

or

**sdo apt pgrade**

🤬

Have removed the front a few times and attempted to reseat the keyboard components. Has anyone experienced the same or similar and found a solution?

I read somewhere that someone took off the face plate and worked the offending key to loosen it up. I don’t know if this will do it for you, but it is something.
