Solder yourself, pretty easy.
Lubing and stickers is the troublesome part.

Can, FOC.
But no lube and not confirm look nice.(diodes). Can confirm working only. tongue.gif
Switches will make sure fit properly lah.

Honestly, you can do some practice with the phantom pcb or something and then do it on lz gh.
The eqipment to get started does not cost much.

Heatgun and through hole isn't fun.
Was thinking of getting a soldering gun with Vacuum, like a Hakko 808. But that thing ain't cheap.
Can buy a realforce already.

Agree. Really hate to desolder LED. Too small and hard to suck it out completely.



================Divider==============

My Keycool 84 key black + keycool numpad is on the way now. Really looking forward. drool.gif drool.gif

My next target will be this

BTW, there is a few set of CM rapid blue in Penang. But the box is opened.....
