So I bought soldering tools...

[lcs]

and now I am afraid of using them! 

I have very little soldering experience. Do you guys recommend some way to practice it before actually doing things to my keyboards?

Whitefiredragon has an awesome video on YouTube of him modding a filco.

Look for "soldering"

And look at WhiteFireDragon's Videos.


You can also buy an old piece of electronics like a VCR and solder/desolder that.

Random broken electronics?

I bought tools and started soldering just a few weeks ago, it was incredibly easy. At first I was worried it'd be complicated, but after watching the EEVblog soldering videos I was confident I could do it, and when the gear got here it turned out I could.

Yes, that's a good plan. I'll try to find some.
