Well, I guess it was bound to happen eventually - I coffee’d one of my keebs in a moment of distraction. I managed to un-power it before any shorts claimed the PCB, but unfortunately the switches are nice and gummy. My question is this -
After I’ve de-soldered the switches, is there a reliable method for cleaning the internals that won’t cause any further damage - or are the sticky switches a write-off?
Too high of strength IPA can cloud clear housings, so be careful with that. Start with dish soap and water in an ultrasonic cleaner. You can also soak housings overnight in water to help break up really thick crud
Late reply - the PCB was totally salvageable, but I haven’t approached the switches yet. I soldered-in some silent Inks and it’s been working great - despite making some n00b soldering mistakes. Fun learning experience!
The build as it is now. I had Nines on it before and still prefer the look of it - but for a daily board, sound and feel win out for me - so MDA Big Bone it is.
