They' is ssaying,, there's a deal that's agreed upon, because the US is about to crash the hell out of solvency.
We'll see... But, will be pleasantly surprised, however incredibly unlikely..

Keyboards / Re: How do I open switches on a PCB mount keyboard without desoldering the switches?
« Last post by LightningXI on Wed, 26 August 2026, 14:56:16 »DISCLAIMER!!!
I know it's easier to desolder the switches and use a switch opener, but I'm lubing up a vintage Cherry G80-11900 keyboard and after accidentally ripping a few copper pads I'm too paranoid to keep going with that method.
I just want to remove the top housings of the switches without desoldering so I can lube them. I did that with an isolated Esc key so I know it's possible, but what methods are there to open them more consistently / quickly?
Currently using two ESD-15 tweezers to get the clips off at the same time, but there isn't enough space and I end up having to unclip each side at a time. I've been advised by others to not do this as the top housings might snap. I'll also try 3D printing something that grabs the clips from the top but it'll have to be printed with something other than PLA, otherwise I'm afraid it'll break. Thanks in advance, your attention is greatly valued ^^
If it doesn't have a plate, then you can just open them up using a pair of switch top openers like these:

Should be pretty straightforward.
