What did you learn today?

Learned today that

  1. Mill Max sockets (0305-2-15-80-47-80-10-0) aren’t that bad to install. Success! Actually looking forward to making the GH60 hotswappable.

  2. Engineer SS-02 is better than the regular cheapo solder sucker, but desoldering still sucks (no pun intended). Got a rip in the silicone nozzle 5 minutes in while trying to clean it :man_facepalming: like really? I also tried thicker wick this time, which helped. Still not looking forward to desoldering the stock Cherry switches in my prebuilds.

  3. Some switch contact legs don’t really fit into the sockets. I tried pushing in a Novelkeys Cream with more force and broke it. RIP. Should’ve taken a hint when the socket didn’t slip on easily (before soldering) like with the other switches.
