Here is a question to experienced modders: does this work on plate mounted switches, specifically Filco boards?
Some people claim that it can be done...I still do not see how it is even remotely possible. Desoldering is the only way I know how.
does this work on plate mounted switches
Would that technique work for plate mounted switches? It would seem like you could access the same spots with a plate mounted switch, so it might work..
This opening method is best suited for switches with a bit of room around them I think. Sure makes it easier.
SO, I got curious, tried this mod and this happened.Show Image(http://geekhack.org/picture.php?albumid=69&pictureid=657)
Ow. Ow. Owwwwwww!
I used a nail pick scraper...I did it with the case on because I couldn't figure out how to take it apart. I'm guessing I broke the solder. :(
Just didn't pull it out using the 4 tabs like you're supposed to (I lifted underneath the middle-side of the switch). Beware!
Edit: I've realized that the paper clip won't work the way I like for the switches that are close together. Now I'm thinking of a better tool to use to pop more switches. If you have any ideas, let me know!
plz make a video, cant imagine how this works
Unlike Oqsy and The Solutor that voted for me in the Troll Poll I don't get pissed if proven wrong about technical issues.
Nice one, Comrade keyb_gr. The best (unintentional) video effect was the eyeglasses bending the keys view.Our dear Mr Oettinger used a year's supply's worth, and the market still hasn't entirely recovered. :p

To top it all off, the first version of this reply got eaten by forum software with a "token expired" remark. And of course, stuff in the quick reply textarea no longer seems to be cached since vB4.
