Its pretty easy and not too hard. Use a low wattage iron, like 20w or 25w. Gonna be a bit more tricky on double sided boards such as the new Filco or the KBC, BlackWidow.
Is the double sided pcb harder because the solder gets on both sides?
Yeah. But it seems to vary from board to board. It seemed pretty easy to desolder stuff on the KBC and it was pretty damn hard on the Black Widow. In fact I broke the ESC key on there.
i think most manufactuers that use a plate, fold in an edge all around the space between the place and pcb so you have a lip. At least this is how i saw my plate mounted crappy alps.
Whoever phrased this "ghetto" should be shot. There's nothing ghetto about this mod at all. It's a highly sought after mod among enthusiasts in Korea. This was before red switches surfaced though. Now everyone wants a taste of it. :)

I want a Green Déck Legend with cherry clear switches. Q1: Will that void my warranty? Q2: Where would I get clear switches? ( Hopefully without buying another keyboard )

Getting it back together might be an ever bigger problem.
Bummer, I suspected such.
I never knew there were plate mounted G80-3000s.
Of course, I'm American so we don't see a lot of them here.Show Image(http://scrapetv.com/News/News%20Pages/usa/images-5/fat-guy-on-beach.jpg)
