Meant to post this on Sunday, but logged off early. Still waiting on the keycap holder (plus keycaps!) from Taobao, so I've been working on the MY7000 keyboard to use that as a base for Retr0Briting. Progress so far:
1. Removed keycaps
2. Disassembled keyboard case
3. Removed all springs from keys (coil springs)
4. Removed keys from metal plate - set aside plastic PCB membrane thingy
5. Removed all springs from keys (leaf springs)
6. Covered metal plate with packaging tape
7. Punched holes in tape for key attachment pins
8. Re-installed keys on plate
A lot of tedious work, but it gave me a chance to catch up on Game of Thrones, so the time passed quickly.
Now I have to source a UV lamp for the Retr0brite setup, but I feel confident this plate+stripped keys jig will hold a full set of Cherry-stemmed keycaps at the optimal angle in the peroxide solution.
On a side note, I was surprised at the metal plate in the MY7000, it's a massive bit of kit! If this is what the G80-18xx plates will be like in the GB, I think they will be a really nice addition to any G80-based keyboard.
