Some old stabs the wire clipping part are very loose, so to ensure this dislodge wont happen i always spend at least 30min testing with switch and keycap inserted then pull up several times before i disclose with plate.
Duck's pcb need to take care on temp, saw a lot china forumers spoiled theirs

, somemore it is 1.2mm have much flex and need to press the pcb when soldering.
Yup, toothpick ghetto solution to make stabs stay firm a bitÂ

.
Pretty stupid decision on the PCB material. This is not a mass manufactured item but a modder's PCB. That means it is meant to be soldered/desoldered multiple times over its lifetime. PCB burning the first time solder is applied is not what I would want to call, good PCB quality. I used 350'C with eutectic solder, the type with silver. The solder pad burns and some of them lifted halfway.
If someone where to desolder this keyboard with full LEDs mounted, good luck. He's gonna burn so many things.
The toothpick is doing its job just fine.
Here's a pict that I managed to take before the sun went down.
Love the case. Makes the keyboard nice and silent. Comparable to an RF silent if I would dare say so.
