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.

I think it is about the profit they need for maintaining their site, funding next projects etc.
For that price tag of viper I will accept it anyway
Mine doesn't burn, just led soldering parts are slightly frustrated. As the smd resistors and diodes are very close and compact, a finger slipped then ur pcb will get the "white" mark

SS plate really dampen the sounds alot
Very nice setup, I want gmk dolch set too but my wallet is always not ready there's a gb/sale for it.
