Today, I rebuilt my Duck Viper. I replaced the 65g Sprit springs with 50g golds and changed the caps lock to be stepped as well as removed the Fn key next to the right shift in favor of being compatible with more keysets.
Took roughly 8 hours, but I'm very pleased with the result.

Nice! If you did it PCB mount that would've been a lot easier :p
What about SIP sockets?
Thanks, Bill! As for SIP sockets, I did some experimenting with those and wasn't very happy. I tried the short ones and they didn't reach through a plate mount PCB I had.
So, then I bought the longer ones and the metal stem was thicker and they didn't slide as far into the switch as the short ones, so the tops I had were bending up where
you would insert the LED. In the end I just went with white LEDs, which suit my purposes and are very neutral. :)
I thought about PCB mount as well, but I didn't want that plate to go to waste, Bill. :thumb
