Hi guys, how are you all?
Been a while since I posted or even lurked here.

Some throwback on the keyboard meetup almost 3 years back. Did you guys did any meetup session?

$200 at ek is the lowest it has ever got.
Used to be $245.

Trouble is our weak currency and expensive shipping.

What tools are you using?
And what are you desoldering, LEDs?

Dont put these la.
If you die die want to put grease, get krytox. Lubing these switches then adding stickers easily takes you 2-3 days. Just get the best lube you can or else you are just wasting time.

Lead free solder diff than your secondary school solder iron.

For LED removal, here is what I do.

Solder a bridge across the 2 LED pads, then heat the whole blob up.
At the same time, use a tweezer or plier and pull out the LED on the other side.
Clean the LED solder pad with desoldering pump and desoldering braid/wick.

It helps if you have alcohol or flux cleaner.

Use kapton tape , or masking tap to hold the led in place. Then when soldering the LED, pull the LED legs with tweezer for a tight fit.

Snip the legs off would improve the feel. For plate mount stabs, you need to desolder the switch that is blocking. Minimum amount of lube is good enough.

Add your own wire to fix

This one local source or import?

Ketam will check for wood imports, just FYI lah
