hi newbie here, just bought a filco tkl and I already bored with it. :p
Any sort of modification I can do with this board?
I google search saw something about switch lubing, springs changing, stabilizer lubing, etc. Any of them is easy for beginner like me with 0 skill and knowledge?
Sorry if I posted in the wrong section or irritated keyboards gods with my stupidness. :/

QUOTE(quovadis123 @ Sep 19 2014, 11:38 PM) For lubing, just avoid lubing those tactile switch. Later become linear feeling. :lol: Most of what you mentioned can be done by a beginner. :idea: So, back to the changing spring. What kind of spring weight you are looking for? thanks for reply :) I'm looking for 62g spring, you know any seller on forum? Btw for lubing do I need to de-solder the whole board? A bit scare if need solder : (

And maybe spend on universal plate where you can easily remove switch top housing without desoldering/soldering, incase if you ever plan of modifying the switch again. QUOTE(hmwgbworld @ Sep 20 2014, 11:59 AM) If just lubing the costar stabs no need desolder, only remove keycaps for that particular keys will do. If need lubing for switches, desolder is needed. QUOTE(yuktsi14 @ Sep 20 2014, 12:25 PM) thx for everyone's suggestion, I think I'll solder it since I'm a MAN Btw can I use cheap solder tools without temperature control?
