Wiring USB Switch to Mechanical Key Switch

<< < (2/2)

CarnivorouSwarm:
Hey OP, did you manage to make this work?

I have a USB switch that uses a remote that is very finnicky, and I'm looking into figuring out if it's possible to connect a novelkeys Big Switch to a USB switch, so I'd love to hear if you had any success with this.

Yes! I did exactly what suicidal_orange said - I just soldered the two wires to the two metal contacts at the bottom of the switch (one wire to one point and other wire to other point), and it has been working perfectly.

I've actually been thinking of wiring it to a Big Switch, too! :D I bought one but need to buy a base.

I think soldering is a perfect idea!  ;)
