Title: Open Switch on plated mounted keyboard
Post by: BakaPhoenix on Thu, 31 October 2013, 12:19:48: I often read of lubing and changing stem/springs on switches...
But is possible to open the switches on a plated mounted keyboard? I read on other site/forums that is only possible with pcb mounted switches. If is true, everytime you have to disolder all the switches? O_O

Thanks for the answers :D

The ones you made were for TKL, and not any other format right?
