call me pian
« on: Mon, 06 November 2023, 15:41:05 »
Whats up everyone!

I recently got in to watching youtube videos of people doing mods and wanted to jump in to my first switch replacement on a K95 Platinum XT. Lo and behold after a month of learning how to desolder and solder, I have a keyboard without functioning A through ' keys. Just found this place recently while looking for more answers on how to fix this.

I am a game designer and developer with an itch for technology. I used to be a IT Specialist through the ARNG and I am about to graduate college with my bachelors in game design (hoping to hop right into the industry)

I am excited to start asking questions and poking around the site and guides.

Thanks everyone!

Hello, welcome to geekhack.

Feels rough about the switch replacement, But that stuff happens a lot as a beginner (at least for me, I messed soldering on one of my first boards and one the keys wouldn't work)

Not knowledgeable when it comes to pcbs so I can't really help sorry. But hope someone else can.

cherry blacks - unlubed - filmed and springswapped with tx 55g mediums - alu Plate | pretty happy with this, the blacks were cherry picked so they weren't that scratchy to begin with, but currently breaking them in, may lube them with a dry lube like ro59 or ptfe powder.

lubed with tribosys 3203 | like topre a lot, prefer it lubed but did make less tactile but that might have been a skill issue. probably will get more tactile over time as the domes age.

bad orange alps lol | definitely needs a restoration. planning on wax boiling them and maybe a replacement pcb because the board has only 2 key rollover apparently.

gateron yellows - lubed with 205g0 - 62g tx mediums - pc plate | probably my favourite keyboard already, feels super nice and sounds pretty good, it's got a great layout as well. probably gonna build this with mx browns, I feel like it would suit the board more.

stock with silent reds | Pretty cool looking board, the silent reds are actually good, they are smooth and I don't mind the mushiness (it's not even that mushy as well). the layout is pretty weird, but is useable. will probably mod this in the future. maybe a pcb and plate swap, change the keycaps to something dolch like, and also spring swap the springs in the silent reds.
