Reasons to use paid services:
1. They have experience in these things, I'm doing this as a learning experience
2. You're supporting your fellow geekhacker
3. They will probably give you some sort of guarantee of their work, I obviously cannot offer this.

Yeah that would be quite a bit of work to do one of those, I'd have to essential make an entire LED Matrix on the back of your board, and even then there'd be uber limited functionality (always on, no brightness control).

If you're still interested in that, PM me.

It actually looks quite funny. I don't know if anyone else feels the same about the perspective, but it looks as though kmiller8's foot is smaller than a Cherry switch.

Did you change the resistors on these as well?

The green/white swap will be fine, but you might find the red LEDs burn out running in a board that was designed for blue LEDs.

Just as a reference (though it's a good ball park)

Margo

Is that true of all LEDs, or do they differ from brand to brand?

For instance, Mionix Zibal 60 has a shade of yellow-green that I’ve never seen anywhere. Now would that be 2.1V or 3.4V?

So the reds and yellows need stronger resistors? When doing the SIP socket mod, I’ve read that you can insert the appropriate resistor along with the correct LED into the same SIP sockets. Does that mean you have 2 things nestled together in the same tiny space on top of a Cherry key housing?

Also what about pink/magenta and purple? These being between red and blue, and red and white, it isn’t obvious what is the correct voltage to drive them.

I am concerned given that I’m sending you my stuff to mod, of course… and might be sending Kmiller something sometime. Wouldn’t want to burn out my board thanks to my ignorance after I get it back!

No I did not change the resistors.

It's my understanding manufacturers obviously don't drive their LED's to a full 20mA 100% of the time especially because the change from 5mA to 20mA has marginal change in brightness. So assuming there's a 10mA @ 3.4V, dropping to 2V would only raise the current to 17mA which is still within manufacturer spec (which how trustworthy is that really).

Wait a minute... Where did the other blue LEDs come from? That Shine was tenkeyless...

I have a bunch of spare LEDs lying around.

Save me 20 or so blue LEDs for my Orbweaver!

I have a box of switches I could "trade" you for, mostly Reds, Blues, and Browns with a few Clears and Blacks. If I don't have enough then yeah, you could either ship a spare keyboard to harvest from, or buy switches from someone.

Alright. I'll definitely consider, but I think that Corsair is going to announce that they stock black and red k70s in switches that aren't MX Reds, since they have an announcement relating to the k70 tomorrow, and the Facebook picture is a black and red k70 with blue switches.

I am not sure what it's like over in the states - I have a number of "practice" boards - they are just pcbs, with a whole load of pads on them, in all different sizes, and then there is also spaces to put controllers in etc. I bought a couple of reels of passives, and a couple of different pitch atmel controllers, and practiced away on there. Is useful, as I mess about with lots of different solders/pastes and it means you can just do tests without fear of borking anything (not suggesting you will, but I do all the time :D). It's a shame you live a very long way away, otherwise I would send you some with a couple hundred passives.

You going to be smd soldering with an iron/hot air/the oven? One thing I have noticed doing pcb's with hot air - as the boards are quite long and narrow (due to the shape of keyboards) it's best to do all the board at once, and keep the whole thing warmish if you can, I did some boards where I would do the SMD stuff in rows along the board, and that warped the pcb a bit, I think as parts of the board were getting hot and some weren't and it was just causing some warping. To rectify I would just heat the whole board and apply a bit of pressure - but since doing the whole board at a time this hasn't been as much an issue - I just try to keep the whole thing as warm as possible by moving accross the board top to bottom as I work. I am considering getting an infrared preheating station to warm boards up a bit easier.

Sorry for the wall of text :) Just some things I have noticed doing SMD.

Edit: Thanks for the referral brother mang :)

I want to get a plate installed. Would you be able to source one and install for me? I'd pay for the part and the labor of course.

I have a KBT Pure with Red switches and Green backlighting.

Anyways, here is the PM so he can get it and maybe get back to me.

Firstly I would like to say I like your work. I am in the market for some keyboard switch swaps. One keyboard is a Corsair K70 that I would like to have greens installed for a friend, the catch is that the F-row and cluster above the arrows is rubber dome and I would like those switched out as well to greens. Thankfully its a aluminum plate keyboard and I suspect that it is possible. The second keyboard will be a poker 2 with ergo clears. I could order any switch type so for your benefit (switches out of the poker) whatever switch is most valuable to you could be ordered. I would also like the plates to be modified so I can swap the switches without desoldering on both boards.

How do your prices break down for work like that?

Thanks in advance.

The K70 and K95 are fully mechanical, it's the K90 and the K60 that have rubber domes.

I'd love to switch my Filco switches from Blacks to Clears, what would you charge for that? Do you have enough switches to cover a 104-key swap? If not, how many new switches would I need to buy?
It's a Majestouch 2 Ninja, so switches are plate mounted.

Post by: Hak Foo on Mon, 05 May 2014, 22:08:11: I figured I should also report my positive experience.

I destroyed a basically brand-new AT101W trying to desolder the switches. With a thick, stiff plate and bent over switch leads, it's built to put up a real fight for disassembly. Kmiller8 repaired the board and replaced the switches for an exceedingy fair price, and did the work far faster than I could have anticipated.

Meh, I really wouldn't recommend that keyboard. If you were to get the Autore, that's $160 plus $55 for switches plus $15 to ship to him, $? for modding and $15 to get it back. All in all, it takes a long time, it's a pain in the neck and very expensive as well. I would recommend buying a Code with Clears like the one that Akimbo has for sale in the Classfied right now. You get great aesthetics with the backlighting and simple design, the switches you want all for $140 shipped. You're probably going to end up paying around $250 for that MX Clear Autore. I think Feenix keyboards are hype anyway, they're just a small startup that gave some famous gamers and reviewers a couple of samples.

Also, the dude that you're looking for is still muted so you'll have to wait for that to be over if you want to actually communicate with him.

I looked at the Code carefully and just don't like the aesthetics at all. Looked at Akimbo's

I have:

many model Ms (grey label one too).
have a Matias which I think is awful compared to the Apple AEK that I have from a long time (m3501 i think).
have the Ducky 3 with green switches (like switch but want the same switch with no noise if possible)
QFR with mx greens

in the past have had:

SSK
northgate omnikey

Thought about the korean customs (but dont like the available cases).

Appreciate the input though.

Post by: kmiller8 on Sun, 25 May 2014, 20:33:02: Ok so. My new pricing works like this, $15/hour + $10 shipping.

Just as an example of how long a normal board modification would take
10m to open
45m to desolder keys + LEDs
45m to spring swap and lube
20m to resolder
5m to close and test

so just over 2 hours = $30

The reason I'm switching to this method is because a lot of services I assume take a certain amount of time, and when they go over. like. way way way. over. I'm losing a lot of valuable time for the same price as something that only takes 1/2 or 1/3 the time.

This new pricing goes into effect now!
