Hey. I am looking to maybe turn my left shift on my Deck Legend - ToXic into a ghetto red or something. I find it too hard to press in-game when I crouch. No, I will not change it to another key.
It does not feel natural when I push against it and I don't get a very good press and my pinky hurts. Even though I do good on it, I would like a change if possible. I want it to feel looser and be linear. I love everything else about the black switchs, though.
Anyay, does the ghetto red sound about right for what I would want? Is this even possible with this keyboard?
Can someone tell me what to order and do so I could have this? Also, is there a way to make the caps lock key kind of clickey? That is not really a problem but I like the way it feels on my Unicomp when I use it. Caps lock is my prone in games like DOD and COD.
Help me...thank you. :canada: (I am not from Canada...I don't know why I put that.)

Modding the left shift key on my Deck Black Switch.

You can replace the black springs with springs from blue or brown switches, but keep in mind that doing it's time expensive on a baclkit keyboard, i finished my xarmor in something like 6 hours, a deck can be even harder because they bend the led's terminals.
Also, is there a way to make the caps lock key kind of clickey?
You can use a blue switch, better if coupled with a stronger spring, like the one from gray switches. Or you can just use a green switch.

Wow, that sucks. OK, is there a place or a guide where I can learn how to do something like that?

There's a soldering guide in the wiki, and various modded boards posted including mine (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?17357-U9BL-Beige-edition-(clear-switches-brown-springs)) and some BL82
