Title: [Revisit] A little video on how to swap a Cherry MX without soldering
Post by: squarebox on Thu, 21 April 2011, 01:08:37

I know this have been done a couple of time and most are not detailed enough so I decided to do a better version.

All you need are :
- a pair of angled tweezers
- a small flat-head screwdriver
- some patience

I use a completely different technique:

Just a large screwdriver used to gently force on one side then in the other, less patience and time needed.

I'd rather have a gentler approach.
