I got tired of waiting for you GH60 and I'm going ahead with this build without you.
This is my first custom build, I think I'm doing it right.
Shoddy QC requires shoddy cutting work.
Safety first, proper ventilation is recommended for soldering.
All soldered up, this is going a long quite ni......balls. Remmember picture two? Well, I was aiming for a ISO layout and I'm missing a switch next to the left shift. Furthermore I placed a stabilizer in the left shift position, guess what, that stab is not coming off unless you desolder the whole board. That is, if you want to salvage the stabilizer. Brutally cutting it up with some wire cutters will also alliviate the problem. I decided not to post pictures of this as it was quite morbid.
Problem fixed and ready for testing.
Comma comma comma, why you bringing me down like this? Probably just a bad switch, switch(hurhurhur) that out and dispose of the faulty one(again no pictures, ugly stuff). Why you still no work comma? I double checked the new switch before soldering it in place.
Mother******, I just can't get a break. Find one error in this picture.
Thankfully I found a stub of a diode laying around in a cardboard box I keep miscellaneous keyboard parts in. The leads where barely long enough, but a generous amount of solder saved the day.
