I finished building this, but my Caps Lock key doesn't work. I tried another switch, and both stepped and non stepped locations. Any idea on how to fix this?

HikasakiI tried two different layouts, both didn't work.
This for the normal caps lock position: ["Esc","F1","F2","F3","F4","F5","F6","F7","F8","F9","F10","F11","F12","Home","End","Delete","Insert","PgUp","PgDn"], ["~\n`","!\n1","@\n2","#\n3","$\n4","%\n5","^\n6","&\n7","*\n8","(\n9",")\n0","_\n-","+\n=",{w:2},"Backspace","Num Lock","/","*","-"], [{w:1.5},"Tab","Q","W","E","R","T","Y","U","I","O","P","{\n[","}\n]",{w:1.5},"|\n\\","7\nHome","8\n↑","9\nPgUp",{h:2},"+"], [{w:1.75},"Caps Lock","A","S","D","F","G","H","J","K","L",":\n;","\"\n'",{w:2.25},"Enter","4\n←","5","6\n→"], [{w:2.25},"Shift","Z","X","C","V","B","N","M","<\n,",">\n.","?\n/",{w:1.75},"Shift","↑","1\nEnd","2\n↓","3\nPgDn",{h:2},"Enter"], [{w:1.25},"Ctrl",{w:1.25},"Win",{w:1.25},"Alt",{a:7,w:6.25},"",{a:4,w:1.5},"ralt",{w:1.5},"fn","←","↓","→","0\nIns",".\nDel"] This for the stepped: ["Esc","F1","F2","F3","F4","F5","F6","F7","F8","F9","F10","F11","F12","Home","End","Delete","Insert","PgUp","PgDn"], ["~\n`","!\n1","@\n2","#\n3","$\n4","%\n5","^\n6","&\n7","*\n8","(\n9",")\n0","_\n-","+\n=",{w:2},"Backspace","Num Lock","/","*","-"], [{w:1.5},"Tab","Q","W","E","R","T","Y","U","I","O","P","{\n[","}\n]",{w:1.5},"|\n\\","7\nHome","8\n↑","9\nPgUp",{h:2},"+"], [{w:1.25,w2:1.75,l:true},"Caps Lock",{x:0.5},"A","S","D","F","G","H","J","K","L",":\n;","\"\n'",{w:2.25},"Enter","4\n←","5","6\n→"], [{w:2.25},"Shift","Z","X","C","V","B","N","M","<\n,",">\n.","?\n/",{w:1.75},"Shift","↑","1\nEnd","2\n↓","3\nPgDn",{h:2},"Enter"], [{w:1.25},"Ctrl",{w:1.25},"Win",{w:1.25},"Alt",{w:6.25},"space",{w:1.5},"ralt",{w:1.5},"fn","←","↓","→","0\nIns",".\nDel"]

slim03Just open up your keyboard so you can inspect the underside of the PCB, and inspect the surrounding SMD components to see if they are properly soldered in. If it turns out that a component isn't soldered in properly, all you need to fix it is solder, a soldering iron, and a good light source (for visibility). I also faced the issue you are facing a while back on a custom keyboard, but all I had to do was solder in the other end of a improperly soldered-in resistor, and the key works fine now. Good luck!
