Hey guys, just checking if anyone had done DIY on their mechanical keyboard's switches? Just ordered a set of Gateron Clear switches and looking forward to get it done on my Filco, just curious if i'm able to get the soldering stuff at Mr DIY or probably Ace Hardware?

QUOTE(kaiserreich @ Feb 17 2017, 04:41 PM) Rm500 is just entry level 1. Mmmhmm, i'm not looking into investing so much into this project, is something around RM150 sufficient for the solder/desoldering job?You should see the ones they have at my workplace. Few k per set, including the tips and solder fume filtration system. Same la like keyboard, some people happy with cheapo Logitech and I am happy with RealForce  |

QUOTE(kaiserreich @ Feb 17 2017, 05:26 PM) If you want el cheapo, just buy like your secondary school. Cheapo iron Desoldering pump desoldering wick/braid. optional, unless you are working on LEDs cheapo flux, mostly for desoldering Rubbing alcohol + brush to clean off the residual flux Tweezers Long nose pliers (optional) Snipping tool (something like this http://my.element14.com/plato/170/shear-cu...-me-pd-mi-acce) SnPb solder Some sponge/cloth Safety Goggles (MUST) That's about it I think. And make sure you do it in a well ventilated area, or you'll get sick from breathing solder/flux fumes. QUOTE(irsyadfy @ Feb 17 2017, 06:06 PM) +1 Thanks for the input guys! I was thinking that i can be better off with solder iron and desoldering pump, didn't know so many tools to get as well.i did mine for around that. including buying the solvent used to clean PCB. this cost me RM50(postage not included). drop by this link/shop, http://www.lelong.com.my/merchant/vmart126.htm im not their reprensentative or anything but its my personal AIO shop regarding soldering stuff. sit at home, goyang2 kaki, item sampai. |
